Deathless Joy

Have you ever lamented over the good times, now past and wished them back or grieved because a repeat of such happiness seems unlikely in the future you can imagine?

So much of healing is dealing with the unpleasant memories, the healing or releasing of emotions, the restructuring and challenging of belief systems. One can get the idea that memories are are our enemy. Indeed they can be, yet they can also serve us in the journey toward wellness.

Consider that the joys of memory, our moments of enjoyment where we felt most alive, are also events where we may have lost or abandoned our life force. Yet this life energy is not irretrievable. It can be reclaimed. The past good feelings are actually a resource now available for present renewal and healing.

Consider spending but a few minutes, even seconds, throughout the day recalling those pleasure moments, the joy moments, the times of great inspiration and well being. In doing so, we can recharge our life battery when it seems to run low.

Test this for yourself - Immerse yourself for a few moments in the details of re-experiencing the fulness of past delights and I suspect you will soon discover it is an inexhaustible font of energy, your own energy, once forgotten, that is suddenly available to you now.

Then go a step further and let go of the details of the story and abide in the delight and enjoyment of the feelings themselves in their pure energetic state. You may then realize this energy is not bound to events of past or future at all. It is you and yours as a matter of intentional choice, right now. This high functioning life energy now available may be seeded into any project or activity of the moment uplifting its momentum and clarity of purpose.

Reclaim this lost life, this soul loss now with a little love and gratitude for this hidden design of life. Pain and suffering may be released, but life does not abandon its joys. They are all a part of itself and seek a return to the life steam from which all joys are born and manifest as experience..

Notes on Thermodynamics

During the nineteenth century, the application of Newtonian mechanics to the description of heat lead to a new discipline: thermodynamics. This discipline, which can be traced back to the works of Boyle, Boltzmann, Clausius and Carnot, studies the behavior of energy, of which heat is a form. Gases used in thermal machines were studied and the transformation of energy into work was analyzed; this lead to the discovery of three laws:  

 1) The law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed.  

 2) The law of entropy, which states that when transforming energy (for example from heat to work) part is lost to the environment. Entropy is a measure of the quantity of energy which is lost to the environment. When energy lost to the environment is distributed in a uniform way (i.e. where no differences in heat exist), a state of equilibrium is reached and it is no longer possible to transform energy into work. Entropy measures how close a system is to this state of equilibrium.  

3) The law of disorder which states that within an isolated system entropy cannot diminish. When an isolated system reaches the highest level of entropy no further transformation can take place: the system has reached a state of equilibrium, known as heat death. 

The conflict between life and entropy is well documented and is continually debated by biologists and physicists. Schrödinger (1933 Nobel Prize for physics), answering the question of what allows life to counter entropy, responded that life feeds on negative entropy. In this way Schrödinger stated the need for a second type of energy evolution with symmetrical properties to those described by the law of entropy. The same conclusion was reached by Albert Szent-Györgyi (1937 Nobel Prize in Physiology and discoverer of vitamin C) when he used the term syntropy to describe the qualities of negative entropy that can be observed in living systems. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi stated that:  

 
 “A major difference between amoebas and humans is the increase of complexity that requires the existence of a mechanism that is able to counteract the law of entropy. In other words, there must be a force that is able to counter the universal tendency of matter towards chaos and energy towards dissipation. Life always shows a decrease in entropy and an increase in complexity, in direct conflict with the law of entropy.” 

The theory of syntropy leads to reformulate the principles of thermodynamics in the following way:

1) Principle of Energy Conservation: energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be transformed.  

2a) Principle of Entropy: in diverging systems (for example our expanding universe) in each transformation of energy a part of energy is released in the environment. Entropy is the magnitude by which we measure the amount of energy that is released into the environment. 

2b) Principle of heat death: in diverging systems entropy is irreversible, i.e. the disorder and the loss of energy can not decrease.  

3a) Principle of Syntropy: in converging systems energy is absorbed and concentrated leading to the increase in differentiation and complexity. Syntropy is the magnitude by which we measure the concentration of energy, differentiation and complexity. 

3b) Principle of life: in converging systems syntropy is irreversible, that is, the tendency towards complexity, differentiation and concentration of energy cannot decrease. The manifestation of life associated with the absorption and concentration of energy is observed.

Omega Point : End of Time

"Be here now, the power of now," these are the mantra's of  today. Certainly this is a stepping stone up from a drowning daily in the past. Yet beyond this is the uplifting power of surrender to the future, the Omega Point to which all our dreams aspire. To begin at the journeys end assures victory in the most time efficient manner possible. 

 

Omega Point : End of Time

The  Universe is a love story in the telling. Its meaning is revealed fully only in the final chapter. Its beginning tells of a struggle against all odds to create life, but the ending - the Omega Point as Teilard de Chardin called it - is what drives the story at every juncture. To know the end is to understand what the Kabbalists meant by saing G-d used the first two letters of the Tetragramaton (YHVH), to create (envision) the world to come ... the Omega Point, this 'melta' or "word" story's end. The YH is a point of infinte space-time compression and complexity, expressive of the love bond, the form of unqualified union. Then in VH, the last two letters, we find the world that is, following as an extension or expansion through time in geometric and material formations that mirror the struggle of the spiritualization of matter, as all parts of the cosmos are progressivly endowed with life - with absolute I-ness.

It is in knowing the Omega point that we go beyond the myths of the gods, and into the field of light and love which is the "heart" intelligence of creation, seeking self knowlege and self expression. We do not as yet embody the mind intelligence to understand the great mytery of existence. Yet it is by the felt meaning of love-joy, a living force complete in the future that pulls evolutionary conditions toward it as a magnet draws iron, that the evolutionary process is accomplished, the story finished and all questions answered. 

It is advantageous to grasp the idea that love, joy, paradise was the foundation of creation, that it exists now as it always has at that point we call (dualisticly speaking) the future. It is our motivator and the voice of intuition which summons us to answer that resonant, sympathetic call speaking within each of us as a common and collective wish for unconditioned happiness. In the Near Death Experience we find a temporary release from this world of entropy and feel more clearly the liberating force of the pull of the infinite gravity of the Omega Point, the future as "end of time," and bask in the direct light of possibilites which we have yet to evolve into collectively. Yet with an unshakable certainty, we know, all will be well, and we then are freed to dwell on the good things yet to come as if they are here now ... which from the point of view of eternity, they in fact are if we can but receive them.

The real "Now" is as expansive as the time stream itself. It may be said to be a superposition of beholding the story of eternity complete with beginning , middle and end, and the enlightenment called Omniscience, where the temporal "I" knows itself as the I AM. Such an awakening may seem beyond us, yet the path there is immediatly accessible via the door of the heart, where we hear the future beckon in that still small voice of its Presence as all the possibilities of Love un-compromised. Once we are caught in its field of attraction, its field of grace, all things do work for the good, and peace is it's gift.
