Collective Chaos: What to do with all this energy?

As we linger in the midst of an ever-boundless disorder that is our universe, we can’t help but always move toward the future. A dream of our potential, an expression of our collective understanding. Even in feeling disconnected from it, we cannot help but move towards it. To understand this unfolding story, it is helpful to delve deeper into the essence of energy.

All matter interacts with space, and energy is the expression of each particle charged with specific electrical and magnetic properties. As such, each thing in our universe has conductive as well as attractive, and repellent forces in constant interaction with one another.

All energetic bodies express themselves through arrangement. From the way the particles of our being are arranged to how we choose the actions that place us in specific contexts of our world, all energy is informed by the experiences and interactions it transforms through. We make our best decisions, both subconsciously and consciously to grow into a force that best endures the environment. But to think of the world as a random order of energy and probability directed through our consciousness, would feel like telling less than half of the story. What is mostly missing here is the influence of the system and procedures that shape the way energy is organized; in our human case we have more than fabricated natural systems of arrangements to favor energetic inequality in a fundamental sense.

Systems exist at levels far and wide. We as humans are a unique and dynamic system, constantly and profoundly informed by our past, present, and future. We are both players and makers of our own game, a balance of responsibility our species works out through trial and error. As we operate within systems that simultaneously corrupt our understandings of self, we grow, learn, and become better through our trials. All this to say, despite the ever growing anxieties and worries one must move through on a day to day, continuing to be, and connect with energy is what informs our ability to grow forward.

So do what you can to feel, and exist in your life. Learn the world through your own eyes and allow yourself to transform alongside it.
