Order, Chaos and Control


Order, Chaos and Control

The universe it seems loves contrasts and very tightly intertwines polarities be it an atom with electrons, protons and neutrons or be it galaxies, stars and the planetary systems within them, tightly strung (to perfection like guitar strings) by the opposing forces of gravity and centrifugal force. On one hand chemistry via its laws of thermodynamics observes that "the second law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases with time".
Entropy being defined as “often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system”.

Implying that with time disorderliness should increase within any system unless acted upon by an external agent
but the contrary is true for our universe which seems to be becoming more and more organized with time. From the chaotic soup of nebulous gases to stars, galaxies and planets and then from chemicals to life forms (the seemingly dead chemicals aggregating themselves in remarkably calculated proportions with a rather unimaginable synchronicity to become alive) single cellular, to multi cellular, to amphibians, to reptiles, birds, mammals and finally the one who is reading this on his/her computer screen. A long journey of continuous refinement is before us. The inability to see the activity of an immense rather infinite intelligence to change the gaseous nebulae and star dust into us requires tremendous depth of agnosia (inability to interpret sensations and hence to recognize things) and somnolence (sleep of intelligible mind).
This infinite intelligence that has brought us forth to being from the intangible big bang has constantly used opposing forces to shape this universe as it is.
And it would do us good to see ourselves NOT in the universe but as the extensions of universe itself (as that is the only case anyways). How can we be “in the universe”???
Are we like live fishes dropped into a dead and unintelligent aquarium of universe from outside ?? (and if so how?, who did it?)
Or
Are we like the fruit that emerges from the slow, extremely orchestrated and a highly organized growth process of a seed(again paradoxically containing the seed within)
The two points of views are drastically different……so different are they that a mere inception (a deep conscious and subconscious acceptance as the truth, the obvious reality) of the second organic view point has the capacity to drastically alter the life perceptions instantaneously.
To be continued.....
