Chaos and Symmetry

Kabbalistic Tree of Life by Maxine Miller

Ordered Chaos

 

Chaos: the variable is predictable but there is no way to predict, after a certain point, what's going to happen. The pandemic disease is a good example for ordered chaos. Some people are learning how to: wash their hands properly, sneeze and cough into their elbow, disinfect and clean things and spaces, take care of their Wei Qi, work from home, dive into their dark unconscious, etc. The Black Lives Matter and civil unrest is another example of ordered chaos. The police, government, society, along with systemic racism, is showing how much chaos can cause order for a better America. Some people are learning how to: educate themselves and their children/family/friends/strangers about systemic racism and privilege, stand up and support black a POC, peacefully protest (with masks on), hold everyone accountable for their actions. A trickle of justice is just beginning. Confederate statues are being torn down, police defunding is in the works, people are supporting businesses owned by black people, more non-black people are being active allies, the president’s racism is being broadcasted, and some police officers are starting to get fired, charged for murder, abuse of power, and racism.

 

“In order to cleanse, one must feel the problem that one wants to heal. If you cannot feel the problem, then chances are you will not be able to heal that individual. You have to put yourself in his shoes. If you cannot do that, if you cannot fully have empathy, then you should not try to even make an attempt to help. It is an exercise in futility.

…

Anytime we enter into an argument or a discussion, or even a war, we need to understand that it is not only to rid the world of chaos but also to teach ourselves a lesson—that what brought about the chaos in the first place is the lack of human dignity toward others.” - Zohar

 

Chaos as a Science of Process: Structural coupling is when living systems and the environment are constantly changing and adjusting with each other. Autopoiesis is auto production and entropy is decay. Autopoiesis and entropy keep everything in balance like a constant harmonious dance of yin and yang. Two polarities bring each other into balance. It is a dynamic, non-linear, and natural evolvement relationship. Something new can emerge and become balanced so both are necessary. "Systems in advanced states of order become inflexible and relationally dead. If it is all chaos, new forms of order cannot emerge. If too rigid and order and therefore it will become inflexible and relationally dead. Entropy is a force that prevents this by emerging to drive over-ordered systems back towards homeostasis.”

 

 

Consciousness Out of Chaos

 

Chaos and Consciousness: Every point in space consists of consciousness. Thoughts have electromagnetic field power to them. Depression: immediately thinking about past experiences can lead a person downward spiral into depression. The power of the mind is useful and healing by integrating positive thinking and positive affirmations. Wei Qi: is the energy and the forcefield - you can project that around yourself and make it stronger. Qigong: can feel other people's energy across the room.

 

Chaos and Creativity: Art a music are so often used as a way to make sense of human suffering or chaos. It derives order from chaos and helps us make sense of the world. If there is no chaos, there is no free will or choice for creativity. The unknown is uncomfortable. We live in chaos, but we continue to maintain order.

 

My (a)symmetrical world. Might our universe be entirely symmetrical? 

 

My view is that our universe may be a mixture of symmetry and asymmetry. Fractals are an example of symmetry in our universe but not all things are symmetrical. Everything would be the same over and over if the universe were entirely symmetrical.
