The Ultimate Challenge - Ending Entropy with Acceptance
Do you feel stuck in a low-energy state, almost like there is an invisible force holding you back? What if that feeling was a perception called entropy and is experienced as numbness or gloom and at it’s worst depression. The more entropy you experiences the less energy you has available.
Entropy is a term that originates from a German physicist Rudolf Clausus who in 1865 used this term to describe a measure of the amount of thermal energy in a system that is not available to do work.
If you feel stuck in a low-energy state, you too may resonate with the concept of measuring the amount of energy you do not have available to do what you want to do.
From a biological and psychological perspective, entropy is a natural cyclical chemical process the body and mind go through. The experience of periods of low energy or disorganization that are temporary utilized for our ultimate renewal.
Entrophy originates from the Greek word “εντροπία” (entropia), which refers to “a turning towards” or “transformation” and points to the power of this state.
Entrophy from a human perspective, as mentioned above, is best described as the feeling of numbness or gloom and at it’s most extreme depression. The completely inability to generate energy.
Due to the way we are conditioned, finding someone who describes such an experience as an "extremely fertile state" is quite unlikely. However, in the context of energy and entropy, this is what would be most true.
With such dissonance and feeling out of sync with one's own desires, this results in the natural tendency to resist the cyclical nature of creation, which strives for universal harmony. This results to one living in alignment to their programmed nature that strives for constant energy and the perpetual state of happiness and out of alignment with the natural cycles of all things.
As it is clear to see, this is challenging dynamic and is the ultimate conundrum. To have a body that needs to complete a necessary cyclical chemical processes and an inherent human inclination to resist and avoid the very thing that need for the cycle to complete.
At its worst, when this process is refused it can create a vacuum state that continuously drains energy, reducing one’s overall capacity to enjoy life and at worst can lead to the desire to end one’s own suffering from not having access to enough energy for basic survival.
And when one tries to fix, understand or comprehend it from the belief what they are experience is wrong it also won’t complete as that too is an aspect of avoidance which continues the perception of entropy.
When we surrender into this process and allow our body to turn in and take over, not wanting to interrupt or end the experience of entropy, going against what the mind is programed to drive us to do, the ultimate ending of all misery, there is the potential of entropy to leave just as suddenly as it arrived.
This withdraw and ultimate acceptance into stasis is what allows one to recover and transform and allow energy to return to ones self giving entropy the potential to leave just as suddenly it arrived.
It is a completely foreign experience for the mind to honor the body over itself and is much of what drives our human tendency to stick with the comfort of the familiar even when it is detrimental. Accepting the state of entropy is not what our current mental programming is designed to do and it is the powerful step one you can take when the access to energy seems to be slipping from you.
While it is easy write about acceptance, what is requires is the most evolved state of the human emotional, mental and physical systems which makes sense why this is not the natural proclivity of humanity and why we are having an epidemic of loneliness, pain and suffering. Due to the way the mind is programed to work, what entropy asks the mind to do is impossible from it’s natural proclivity to avoid pain and much of what results in the transformation and transcendence of one state once ultimately accepted….
