Are you annoyed by those
forwarded e-mails that remind you how lucky you are to have entered
"the golden years?" They are supposedly funny or inspirational,
intended to cheer you (and the sender) up. But those of us who can
barely able to get up in the morning and navigate through the day
know better. We're supposed to be thankful that we're still able to
breathe and move. But those minimal achievements are not sufficient
to wax euphoric. If our neurons are still functioning we realize the
end is near and longevity is another term for dying slowly. The body
is subject to entropy, also known as the second law of
thermodynamics. All closed systems eventually dissipate the energy
therein and cease to function. In other words, a whole lotta
nothing! And yet there is always hope. (Hope isn't as strong as
faith, but it's better than the alternative). If there is another
energy field nearby the two systems can exchange energy indefinitely
What if there is a subtle, but real, universal energy field that
keeps the entire cosmos alive and kicking? And if our consciousness
is energy ,as some very smart people believe.( Field theories are
propagating profusely in scientific circles these days) we can go on
forever. I believe (though I guess hope would be a more honest word)
that there is such an universal field and it is the Mind of the
Cosmos. Some call it God. |
