This is something I have been pondering for some time now and do not know if this is new or if I am just repeating an old parallel. But here goes. Bare with me.
In a world that is magnificent and full of incredible detail how do we fit in the human conscious with everything else? What I mean by this is everything (that I can think of at least) wants to move toward order (animals, plants, organisms, societies, etc) and away from disorder. Granted that things do die and are in a disordered state at some point. But my point is that everything WANTS TO move towards order. The fact that hydrogen bonds to oxygen is a WANT of nature. The fact a tree will repair itself if you take an ax and take a whack at it shows that it wants to maintain internal order and not die. Millions of examples can be given but I hope everyone got the gist of what Im saying. What does this have to do with the human conscious? Be patient, its coming.
Not only do things move toward order but there is a fulfillment/solution of that want. What is the fulfillment of a hydrogen? The fact that it can bond to something else is the
fulfillment/solution. At every level of matter you can see a solution/fulfillment. You cant be thirsty without water existing. And water does exist.
So things move toward order and have some sort of solution to it. It seems to me (unless someone shows me otherwise) that the human conscious is immune to this. There is no doubt that it tries to move towards order (look at world societies/governments). But where exactly is the solution from a religious or non-religious aspect.
Let me know your thoughts.
