What Wants To Emerge?


I've been considering just how much life innovates. Life continues to emerge as something the self has never thought of before. Even when our minds are not paying attention, life innovates in every millisecond.

Entropy is the falling apart of all things, all matter becoming disorganized. Life is the opposite. Life is the coming together, the novel forming of new levels of order, new forms emerging. Life innovates continuously. Four billion years of life evolving on earth, and each moment, each of us on the cutting edge of what's next, what's new, what has never been before. And yet, life energy is seen by our minds in the same way many view money energy. Like there's only so much of it, and then its gone. Entropy. Might as well spend it. Might as well consume. Sit around and eat, try to enjoy oneself. Consume until we die. This is so off purpose from the core driving force of life. Imagine having money in your pocket, and instead of thinking that its all going to be gone, you realized that it can generate more. And not just that it can generate more of itself, but that it could create realities that the world has never seen - and out of that creation, more wealth, more money will become available. Then the money looks like it is a seed to plant in such a way that this whole other reality opens up ... realities that generate new more resources, too. Would you simply trade the money for whatever you could consume - or would you then want to plant it in a way that this magic opened up in front of you and showed you a door to even more riches?

Life is not just going after more of itself. Not just rises in population. Life is going for newness, new never before known, never before lived, always with greater complexity and wild new prospects.

Life is the opposite of entropy. It seeks to create new dimensions of order, new levels of integrated diversity, new communications through its intensely divine web.

If relationships are to have a life of their own, they too must not be primarily consumptive. Couples must feel beyond merely what they get from each other, and tune into what wants to emerge through the loving - not to think about it, but simply to feel that this emergence is the purpose and the life of the relationship. It is what life wants to do through this bond. Regardless if what gets created is baby or some kind of other new never yet known wonderous becoming. And if a relationship stops moving with this intent of creating together, then the relationship starts dying.
