I had a wonderful and animated conversation with an economist the other evening, during which she asked me if I was aware of the ‘Law of Entropy’. 

Yes I am aware of this law.  This is a classic law in the realm of Science which states that all objects will seek to return to their simplest form.  Basically every thing will eventually break down, will return to ‘chaos’. The pessimistic view might state that all the efforts of mankind shall crumble to dust.

It appears that this Law of Entropy flies in the face of religion, suggesting that the work of an everlasting Creator is flawed.  There is some sense that time is the great leveler of God as well as humanity.  Yet when we see it as merely part of a greater equation, the Law of Entropy suggests simple harmony. 

To view this law by itself is akin to viewing our lives from the trash can, only ever seeing the garbage going out.  This we all know would be an exemplary flaw in perception, yet it is a flaw consistent with the views of fatalists throughout the ages.

The Law of Entropy works in perfect harmony with two other laws; the Law of Conservation and the Law of Creation.  The Law of Conservation states that any object in motion will travel the path of least resistance.  For example water will always flow around solid objects and falling objects will take the most direct route to the ground. Also it is the foundation of at least one of Newton’s laws; any object will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

The Law of Creation states that life promotes life.  Life will always seek to create, the nature of life is creation and procreation.  All life will continue to promote itself, will draw to itself all that supports and celebrates its existence to the level of its consciousness.  This means very simply that the more self aware an entity is the more creative it is.  Or in human terms, the more conscious one is of their innate divinity the more creative they will be.

So how do these three laws work together?

It is most important that we first understand that the Universe, or God if you prefer, is bound by the Laws of its existence.  Life, any life, cannot act outside of the very structure that defines it.  Only ignorance can hold such a superstition, such a belief in magic.  Today’s educated all realize that the only existence of magic is from the perspective of incomplete knowledge. 

Therefore the Law of Creation as God, you, your pet or the flower in your yard, is bound by the Law of Conservation.  All life will unfold from the most available resources.  The most available resources will always be those which are in the process of decomposition.  Life does not die; it simply moves into greater levels of expression as self aware cause. 

And when it does the substance of its outer expression; the atoms and molecules it clothed itself in begin to break down to their most basic level in preparation for re-creation.  They become latent energy in order to feed the next level of creation.  In the greater picture breakdown of substance occurs because the creative process is drawing to itself building blocks for new creations.
