We are linear, goal oriented creatures in this cyclical, reciprocal, feedback generated reality. The current paradigm is assuming that if we reduce and distill everything down to its most elemental units, be it quanta, or dollars, we will grasp the essence, but it continues to elude our most monumental efforts.

Our minds process information, but our bodies process energy.

The energy is what drives the wave, while the information emerges from its forms. Frequencies and amplitudes from the fluctuations and undulations.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present. Its changing configuration creates time, as well as temperature, pressure, color, sounds. Frequencies and amplitudes.

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.

So energy, as process, goes past to future, while the forms and information generated go future to past.

As consciousness goes past to future, while the forms, the thoughts, emotions, perceptions, intuitions, go future to past.

Like energy, consciousness can only be considered in terms of the forms it manifests.

So do we store the forms generated, but ignore the dynamic generating them?

There is always so much left to learn, no matter how enlightened we assume ourselves to be. We are born knowing everything and spend our lives learning otherwise. The more we know, the more we know we don't know.

Humanity is more toward the end of the beginning, than the beginning of the end.
