We are linear, goal seeking creatures in a cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality.

So it's like trying to reach the horizon.

Without the ups and downs, it's a flatline.

Markets need money to circulate, while people see it as signal to extract and store, but the medium is not the message. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. Trying to store money means generating the debt to back it.

The capital markets couldn't function, without the government borrowing up trillions in surplus investment money. The wars are just a way to make it go away.

Religion is political, not spiritual. A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. Ideals are not absolutes and assuming such only empowers the truly fanatic, or those seeking power and control.

Time isn't so much the point of the present going past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms, with a sequential process of perception for navigating our world, but change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present. Cause becomes effect.

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

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

Consciousness goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form go future to past. Though it's the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the information.

Thus we are caught between and are the anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement.

What goes round, comes round.

The price we pay to feel, is that much of it is pain.

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as form coalesces in.
