Knowledge is inherently centripetal.

The signals our minds pick up out of the noise are what resonates and synchronizes with our prior knowledge, going back to the earliest childhood memories and lessons learned.

Religions are the childhood memories and lessons of cultures.

Like trees, each generation is like a ring, building on the prior ring. Yet in old trees, the core can be completely rotted out, but it's still healthy on the outside. Some religions do a better job of balancing the dynamic growth with the stable core, but it can be a tough balance.

The anarchies of desire versus the tyrannies of judgement.

This centripetal dynamic of the organism exists in the larger harmonic equilibrium of the ecosystem, of all the organisms rising and falling.

What is noise to one becomes the energy radiated back out. Often others see what we ignore, as it reflects off of us. While some bond over being on the same wavelengths, frequencies.

Even galaxies are the energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

Under all the politics, cultures, personalities, brands, it's energy and the forms manifest.

The energy goes to the future, while the forms recede into the past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.
