Entropy and Intelligent Infinity
Entropy is defined as a “gradual descent into disorder”. A radioactive element emits radiation because it is decaying. The physical body gets old, dies, then decays. All systems eventually break down.
As soon as we’re born, we become subject to entropy. Life, it appears, is a constant battle against this force. Life staves off entropy for a bit, but eventually, we fully succumb and our body rapidly decays.
Everything in material reality cannot hold off total dissolution for long.
While we are always subject to the forces of entropy, it seems that only at death does the body begin to decay.
What is it about being alive that slows down the forces of entropy?
The lifeforce within us, that feeling of “aliveness”, of energy, is the source that shields us from the caustic forces of entropy, constantly seeking to disintegrate all matter into its parts.
Disintegration and reintegration is the process of life. Things die and are reborn. Great civilizations come and go. Planets, Suns, and galaxies exist one day and are gone the next.
Nothing, not even your own body, is yours. Everything must be given back to the One.
Entropy can be seen, in a metaphysical/spiritual sense, to be a force designed to ensure constant novelty is maintained in the universe. All must be erased and replaced. To make way for the new. Nothing material, nothing solid, and nothing deterministic can stave off the forces of entropy for too long.
The only force that can is the Divine spark within. This is the life force given to you that shields you from entropy. The closer you are to it, the more “timeless” you become.
The further away, the more subject to entropy you become.
Manly P Hall said, “We are lured towards chaos by our own thoughts.”
And Mary Magdalene wrote, “What we do takes us further away”.
Our thoughts separate us from the Divine and make us subject to time and thus subject to entropy. Intelligent infinity has no thought. It cannot think. It has no need for thought. To think means to have a focus, thus it means to have a thought is to be taken away from infinity.
The problem is, we get lost in our thoughts. We become attached to them and oftentimes let our thoughts dictate how we should feel and act. Thus, chaos looms closely to those enamored by their own thinking.
