"Form is non-being and non-being is form. Non-being is not different from form and form is not different from non-being. Everything that is non-being is also form and everything that is form is also non-being."

from the Pragna Paramita

What you stated was hardly original, it predated Christianity. The only crime is parroting someone else and calling them original thoughts. How typical for this thread.

This stream of consciousness that we call intelligence (a special case manifestation of a more basic substance: life, IMO, is tasked to sweep up inefficiency in the Cosmos

There is much to be learned, eh!

The trounble with all of this is that, like gravity, we really don't understand entropy yet; And we certainly don't understand how black holes, white holes, mind, etc., might change all our thinking. They only thing reasonably certain is that people will one day look back on us and think: "Can you believe it? How could they have thought that?!

This link is an excellent article on entropy. It covers most pertinent issues such as evolution. But more than anything, it shows just how confused we are! Personally, I would like to see the scientists speak about energy (ordered, disordered and organised)--rather than bifurcating the idea and losing their way--especially now that quantum physics reduces all forms to an energy paradigm.

The second link is the home page with a toy box full of neat stuff related to pan sperm ia. Something we will have to discuss when someone feels like bringing it up. Right now I am just trying to get a feel for some of the literature.
