Motive and Purpose in Creation

[thoughts from ~burning woman~ by Sha’Tara]
 
“When a wise man does not understand, he says, “I do not understand.” The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom. – Sayings of the Abbods.
 
What are the two primary conditions that must be before any “thing” can exist? What are the two primary conditions that constitute the basis for all life? Chaos and order. These are the primal conditions necessary for life to manifest, maintain itself and evolve. Keep in mind that “evolution” does not mean betterment, it only means change. Life, therefore, is a balance of chaos and order. It is both, never between both.
 
Chaos is also known as Spirit. A less well-known synonym is psi force. Order is what we call creation (thought to manifestation energy).
 
For life to “work” at our level of interaction, order has to come about from chaos. What sapience calls divine power or “God” is essentially that focal point, that interference, that initially converts the raw energy of chaos/spirit into images or shapes, i.e., into original aspects of order. This is like a sluice gate, or we could think of it as an order desk. Something “imaged” or orderly alive requires additional energy to create something new for itself, or to add to itself. It approaches the “order desk” where “God” sits. Here, the amount of chaotic energy to be released (or not!) for this request is carefully weighed and measured. If the order is approved, the raw energy is released, under watchful monitoring.
 
Everything we are; everything we think and do, requires energy. Within a closed system, such as is claimed for this universe, the normal channel for this needed energy is the taking from the environment whatever the environment will give, or can be forced to relinquish. There exists no other way to make any kind of change. Something must “die” in order for something else to be “born” or something must be undone before something else is done. We all can see that. It is an adjunct of so-called “nature” that man’s science and technology cannot go against.
 
“But,” someone will ask, “what about chaos? If creation is order and ordered, and it needs a balance of chaos and order to go on, where’s the chaos energy within creation?” That’s a good question, too easily answered: consider exploitation – any kind, of nature or man. Consider oppression of man and animals. Consider violent or extremely restrictive dictatorships. Consider war in all its form. Consider all forms of conflict and inimical interaction of forces. Consider the predator-prey relationships.
 
The lesser creators who became trapped in their own lesser creations, say of a universe, or even a lowly planet, learned very quickly that they had to manufacture chaos from the order they had made in order to give new impetus to their worlds. Otherwise, how soon they would have plunged the whole thing into entropy! We do not experience raw chaos, but recycled energy. Things die so that things may live. Order is broken down into chaos so it can be re-ordered. That is why nothing great or big can last: it eats up too much available energy just to maintain itself. Empires collapse because they run out of energy, of the resources needed to keep them growing.
 
Now comes an interesting idea: that of miracles; of things that happen outside the normal pattern. The force used in miracles does not come from the death of existing images within the ordered system, hence why it is called a miracle. A genuine miracle must take its energy directly behind the “order desk” where God sits; directly from the chaos source. It cannot be remanufactured energy and it cannot be weighed, measured and doled out at the whim of a desk clerk.
 
At this point, the question to ask is, is this raw energy freely handed over the God desk to the miracle worker, or does the miracle worker smuggle raw energy (chaos) past the order desk, to control and shape it himself within the existing realm of order? Is the miracle worker – for example, a Jesus, a Jedi knight of Star Wars manipulating the Force, or an Avatar – part of the existing system, or some sort of rogue independent agent able to create change, not from existing energy (from what has been so carefully doled out and monitored – and probably has the infamous bar code on it) but from entirely new (chaos) energy? Can this agent actually introduce new energy in an otherwise “hermetically” closed system? What would that do to the system?
 
The next critical question one must ask is, if such an agent can exist, and can draw from the forces of chaos to create entirely new things, can such power be used for anything, or only for good? Put another way, are there only “good” miracles? Perhaps they just are, and what we should be questioning is – motive. Indeed, isn’t everything the result of motive? The being at the order desk, this “God” used his own motives to call on chaos energy and create the original order called creation from that non-material source. All that is, is the result of motive. And how much do we know of motive? How seriously do we question our own motives in all that we desire, think and do?
 
Motive must point to a purpose. The Bible, that greatly abused ancient document dragged out of Middle Eastern prehistory by the Hebrew tribes, re-written by the Israelites at the request of their God Yahweh, totally misinterpreted by latter-day Jews, then turned into a comic book by Christianity, is a most revealing document at stating God’s purpose. In a nutshell, God is an entity that desperately needs to be worshipped; to be adulated and kept on a pedestal of supremacy at all times; to be praised and feared and “loved” all at the same time. God, according to the Old Testament certainly, and “violently” re-stated in Revelation, is a completely self-centered addict. Love me or die! Worship me or I abandon you to your enemies. So we know that some part of creation at least was the result of such purpose. That, of course, could easily explain why “man” created in the image of God is exactly what man is. God’s got the mould and man’s got the soul.
 
No, I didn’t wander away from the topic. Man does have the “image” of God, and that means a special kind of intellect; of mind. That being the case, man possesses, deep in the subconscious, a power that can wake him up from the Matrix illusion and cause him to break out of the old pattern. How to bring forth this power? Each individual must, upon the age of reason (whatever that be, some get there early, most never!) establish his own and totally personal purpose for being. It’s that simple.
 
Have a purpose and live that purpose, come hell or high water. This isn’t dreams, wishes or desires: this is purpose, that which must carry you past the finish line into the next race. It’s that which you know, day in, day out, you are willing and prepared to die for if necessary to maintain your integrity of purpose. That is unassailable and independent of any external conditions or circumstances or any other power other than yourself. It is a personal, self-empowered state of mind.
 
I sense that it is those who set such a purpose for themselves who become these rogue agents of change, who learn how to tap into Spirit (chaos) energy and accomplish things others think miraculous.
 
“Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.” (Washington Irving)

I disagree with your statement that “'evolution' this not mean betterment.” From my understanding of evolution of the species, mutations, good and bad, create new species all the time. All living things die, but those that survive long enough to reproduce are better than those that don't. Thus, it's easy to conclude that evolution results in betterment by a rather methodical process of elimination by survival. That's why the Earth's fauna and flora is so diverse and humans exist at all.

There is no justification for god and all. God is only a figment of our imagination created to explain our fear (primarily our fear of inevitable death). Therefore, the rest of your explanation and exploration of the divine force escapes me entirely. I do agree with your final conclusion: that those of us who are able to leave childhood behind and break free from the matrix will, in our own chaotic way, change the world for the better.

Very well written article and the opinion is quite understandable.
But I couldn't disagree with you more. And that's only because of my own experience and what the best doctors in Boston told me 12 years ago. I should have died in 2001, I was a walking dead man; but I won't go into that. You read my story I believe, I shouldn't be here today but I am. And that was because of God and I thank Him everyday for that miracle.
