It's Really Very Simple


Life is eternal Love, Truth, Joy. Life, Love, Truth, Joy, and God are all interchangeable labels for the great creative force of the universe.

Yes there is a god, but god is not a thing it is a process and you are part of the process you are god experiencing itself. God is not a noun, it is a verb, and so are you.

You can never be doing the wrong thing. You are always in the perfect place.

There is no point to get or miss. So no there is no point other than to experience and choose who/what you want to be in every given moment.

Live Life

Live life wide-eyed and child-like. How else would you have your lone life lived?

Life in Entropy

I tend not to believe in coincidences, but from a practical standpoint:

Two water molecules in the same glass of water may call it coincidence when they collide; however, a scientist observing the molecules through the glass finds it perfectly sensible that two water molecules in the same container of liquid water should interact (rather than a molecule of water colliding with a molecule of salt, or dirt, or orange juice, which is not likely to be in the glass of water).

This is essentially the nature of entropy so far as I understand it.

If you and I collide – or if this or that occurs – we may feel inclined to label this “coincidence” only because of our limited viewpoint. An observer with a broader scope may find it perfectly sensible that two like-minded individuals – who have dwelled within a singular, similar specimen of earth and life – should collide.

However, I have a friend who also does not believe in coincidences, but for a completely different reason. He attributes the aspect of sensibility to his deity:

Two similar molecules in a singular specimen – this occurrence may be incidental. However, the magic that the two particles should collide – he believes – far surpasses the realm of both coincidence and incidence.

The magic that the two particles should collide – or not – is what we are, as of yet, unable to explain, and insofar as we seek to understand this magic through science or reason, we will find a paradox of infinitely more miniscule coincidences that we cannot explain.

A wise-minded scientist may call this entropy.

Inertia

All objects tend towards the path of least resistance; or rather, the path that requires the least energy.

This is so. Our brain develops heuristics to save mental energy.

An individual who awakens enlightened is more likely to remain enlightened. An individual who is anxious is at constant exergonic state and will burn out.

An emotion, once created and experienced, will continue to progress at its uniform state of motion unless an external force is exerted upon it.

A thought set into uniform motion will progress at uniform motion – no faster or more thorough – unless an external force is exerted onto it in a way that should cause it to change its direction or velocity accordingly.

A habit is an action that has been set into motion. A habit set into motion may become a pattern, or an addiction. So in we can control our behavior by mindfully cultivating our beautiful thoughts. Once set into motion they will flower.

But two truths can exist at the same time. A flower and a weed can co-exist in the same garden. And if left to their respective measures, one may act as an external force onto the motion of the other. Perhaps our minds are limited in soil.

I suspect it is our gift that we may tend to our floral minds as we please. We may grow as beautiful flowers as we are able to imagine.

Intuition (II)

Do not jump at everything; there is great pride in restraint. But throw yourself into surprise when your full-joy heart weakens. The virtue of discipline fades when freedom and love flicker.
