So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

To Chaos We Shall Return
Monday. 3.18.13 12:49 am
According to the religious Taoists, the world began with chaos. Two gods on either side of the chaos decided that it was a shame that the chaos did not have eyes or ears or other senses and could therefore not sense the world around it. So they cut eyes and ears and a mouth into the chaos, and for the first time, chaos was aware of the world. Immediately upon perceiving, the chaos split into two halves, yin and yang, good and evil. The story follows that of Adam and Eve in a way. With knowledge came good and evil, and once it was known, it could not be unknown. Instead of living in blissfully ignorant paradise, where the concepts of good and evil are unknown, you live in a place where they are intertwined, and, as shown by the yin-yang, all evil has inside of it a little piece of good and all good has inside of it a little piece of evil.
We were at lunch. With Tex sitting next to the Canadian and I and the Chinese doctoral student He Chang across the table, we had slipped into English.
�I have been thinking about this lately,� she said, pausing thoughtfully. �Think about a car crash. You have so much kinetic energy, and it is transformed through the car crash into different kinds of kinetic energy, to bend the metal and break the glass, and a huge amount of thermal energy, which dissipates. The whole universe is like that�kinetic and potential energy is always transforming into thermal energy, until someday all of it will be thermal energy and that will be the only kind of energy that exists.�
�Yes,� I said, �the eventual heat death of the universe. I guess from the beginning we came from chaos and at the end to chaos we will return.�


�You think too much,� said Tex. People say that to the Canadian and I all the time.

That's basically heat death theory. Fun stuff.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, chaos to chaos, "I am the way the truth and the light", sometimes I just sit around and I think "Was Jesus a Taoist?"

Dude. Your experience sounds like my seizure.
I was pretty tense too and I joked how I had the best sleep ever. The human body is so crazy sometimes... thanks for the comments C:
