I Am Amazed At the Universe

The aspect of order and disorder or entropy utterly fascinates me. I think all matter (including humans or even rocks) is defined by it's existence.

The meaning of life...is merely existence. And that anything formed is life and has a life-force. Humans are merely a mix of the sun and the earth, we are just another form of matter.

I know entropy is the basic universal force, however I wonder about the force of non-entropy or order. Why it exists? Where and why did that energy get unleashed? Actually thinking of this - because we are still in the expulsion and release of high energy.

Such a great, mind blowing topic. Some days when I feel so BEYOND disconnected from other people, I 'll often remember Eckhart Tolle's line..'I don't 'have' a life, I AM life.' It really centers me, and I remember how we are all really the tiniest SPECKS on this planet, compared to the universe. I guess we are like ants to its' view. So weird to think of that.. and how if we are ants in the view of other life or planets, then what does ANY of it mean? Probably nothing .. it makes me sad in some ways, but like you said, relieved in other ways.

@Coralmist Google this...Pantheism...it gives a spiritual comfort in light of our insignificance. Essentially that the meaning is that we are part of it all...no less important than the the whole because it is us (we are part of everything). :)

@okaybut Thank you .... it's so NICE to actually KNOW that and remember it is harder to do- that we are PART of EVERYthing. People behave and talk and do as if everything and everyone were their own separate little entity and being and it's just not truth. (yet I grew up thinking that VERY much...) b/c it does 'seem' true on the outside, but when you delve into thinking about it, it just blows your mind that nothing is separate. Thanks again 🐛 Great post

@Coralmist Watching a TV show and he said human consciousness and ego was an evolutionary mistake. Maybe?

@okaybut That's interesting.. are you talking about Tolle? (author).. on a tv show? Because he said the same thing wow. He had written in his book, The Power of Now, that the ego is like a glitch in humanity. It seeks and wants, and compares, and all of it is false. And it 'attaches' to things, and we think those things, are US. But on the other hand he said the earth and the universe itself is displaying itself, in human consciousness...so 'we' are the universe expressing itself into a conscious level. It was like a 'Aha' moment.. I love his books!! sorry to ramble , I guess I can do that LOL. What is the show ?
