I think the blind spot is time.

As mobile organisms, this interface between body and world functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our concept of time is as the point of the present, moving past to future.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it manifests the present, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

As present, energy goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Suggesting consciousness is a form of energy, though the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems are processing the energy and feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts through the information, signals from the noise.

Consequently we tend to think in terms of order and chaos, known and unknown, rather than energy and form. Even though galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

One harmonizing, the other synchronizing.

Nodes and networks. Organisms and ecosystems. Particles and fields.

This is why it all seems to be shadows on the wall, flickers of the light.
