It is a cycle, between energy and order. Form and transcendence. Desire and judgement. Heart and head.

Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as form coalesces in.

When we are young, we are like a wave, pushing against whatever might define and limits us and as we grow older, we come to terms with those definitions. sometimes painfully and sometime as just ghosts passing through.

A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. That we are aware, than the forms, perceptions, emotions, thoughts, this awareness takes.

As these mobile organisms, our experience is a sequence of perceptions, which we are constantly judging and sorting, in order to navigate. Signals from the noise.

So our perception of time, 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 literal 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. It creates time, as well as temperature, pressure, color, sounds. Frequencies and amplitudes.

Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

As process, energy goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past.

With a wave, the energy drives it, while the fluctuations rise and fall. The energy expands out, toward infinity, while the fluctuations settle back to equilibrium. Both entropic.

Lives go birth to death, while life moves onto the next generation, shedding the old.

As consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past, it suggests consciousness manifests as an energy, always seeking and pushing, as the forms it expresses are filled out and then left for the next. Form and transcendence.
