Collisions with Mass

From one perspective, life is a series of collisions between life-energy or thought, and mass. When it loses, life energy becomes mass-like end entropic. When life-energy wins, mass becomes ordered and takes on aesthetic characteristics of order, complementarity, or harmony.

The characteristics of life energy are instilling order, rationale, flow, understanding and admiration. The characteristics of mass are condensation, chaotic order, inertial resistance to movement, absorption.

Possibly a sense of inspired combat is the lowest emotional level at which one can successfully seek to convert or attack mass. From there down, where destructive anger sets in, mass is winning and the spin into apathy begins.

The Structures of Being

There are examples of affinity structures -- hostile attitudes, what one will do when one decides to be open, and how much of the river one will let in. Sometimes interesting exceptions arrive "unexpectedly" -- for example, the often overwhelming sense of love that fills one to overflowing when a child is born. Nothing prepares you for it. The levees just fall down and you got momentarily swept away. Maybe those levees were under-built, but then again, maybe you had no business putting levees up against your own heart in the first place.

There are, too. examples of reality structures -- what the organizing postulates of perception will be, the pragma of "what is", and the kinds of things that are more real and compelling than other things; whether it is a leg of lamb to cook or the grace of a flower or the miracle of quanta linked across space, or the postulated order of a Divine Hand, or the compelling chaos of Entropy, or the rarified postulates of Manifest Consciousness, an individual builds his reality along the lines of these organizing postulates. Perhaps part of this is postulated methods of changing realities through decision, persuasion, emotional hysteria, force, violence, or correct estimation of effort. Some folks have a reality that is people, by design, with opponents and dangers. Others primarily see friends and opportunities. Some see only overwhelming dangers. How does this work? What are the building bricks of "a dangerous world"?

There are examples of communication structures, such as postulated screens and definitions of what good communication looks or feels like, what gets in and what is reflected without consideration, and what is an important signal and what is an unimportant signal, and what signals are to be left invisible.

There are also postulated methods of communicating from the telepathic down to the most violent. There's a whole family of codes you agree to give the nod to, and methods you will find acceptable for sending messages and receiving them. There are lots of ways of sending messages you may decide aren't in your selected set, and those messages won't arrive or even appear on the radar while those decisions are in play.

In addition to these constructions, there are ways to expand the boundaries of your own choices, assuming you are willing to.

One way is to make a habit of spotting things you have not noticed before.

Another is to intentionally look for things you like in your day to day life. People forget that this can make a difference.

Another is to seek out communications and opportunities for communicaitons, or look for communications you would be willing to receive. Another is to practice sending acceptable communications to strangers, or to places and people you usally avoid.

You might be surprised at how your talent for architecture and design opens up.
