ENERGY !?
(A cartoon exploration -Chapter Three)

Reminder: 

The survival of human kind provides good reason to explore the nature of energy. An even greater reason is that the journey of exploration may well open us to amazing and wonderful experiences of existence.

We face major challenges along the way, perhaps none as extraordinary as those created by the ego that resides in each of us. This element of our psyche plays a pivotal role in determining our perceptions and is characterised by both an abhorrence of notions of mortality and an incredible, ingenious capacity for self-deceit. It is well capable of generating vast, sophisticated rationales of denial of change/stewardship and can easily make us our own worst enemy. Smile.


Chapter Three explores this hilarious and tragic possibility and suggests the current confusion between forms of energy and perspectives or ways of seeing energy is another classic example of this denial.  In this case we are seeking to avoid being constantly reminded of our own transient nature by the notion that there exist myriad, myriad fleeting forms of energy. Enjoy.

End Chapter Three: The Ego and Forms of Energy .
Chapter Four explores the relationship of the ego with the universal potential, which is energy

Below are more samples of the symbols of the "Energy Conscious Age" that emerged in the late 20th Century. These Wiki and US Energy Information Authority web pages top any search on "forms of energy".

Observe how the EIA page for children primarily frames the "Forms of Energy" symbol with symbols such as petrol pump nozzles, incandescent light bulbs, jets, and electrical main's plugs - all profound examples of the excesses of the Industrial Revolution. Note also how the page also suggests humans can "save energy", which is the ultimate denial of the Conservation Principle of Energy.
