GENE KEY 1: FROM ENTROPY TO BEAUTY

Spectrum: Entropy → Freshness → Beauty THE SHADOW — Entropy is captured perfectly by the word entropy. A simple definition of entropy is: “A measure of the disorder or unavailability of energy within a closed system. More entropy means less energy available for doing work.” Modern physics and the laws of thermodynamics are based upon the basic perceived law of entropy. According to what we can see through the mind, the universe appears to have a single direction — it moves from order towards chaos. This 15 Shadow keeps the entire planet living at a low level of frequency — it is like a blanket thrown across our civilization. According to our mind, we cannot do anything about entropy. That is our chief problem. Human beings do not generally accept themselves, and when you convert entropy into human feeling it becomes a kind of deep numbness or sense of gloom. Entropy is in effect the opposite of love. Numbness is actually an extremely fertile state of awareness. If we learn anything from these first two primary Gene Keys, it is about the nature of duality itself — which is that life cannot exist without polarity. The entire notion of the Spectrum of Consciousness at the heart of the Gene Keys revelation depends upon this polarity of the Shadow at one end of the spectrum and the Siddhi at the other. Each gives birth to the other. Entropy is the black hole to creativity’s white hole, and this first Gene Key is about creativity. The secret to harnessing creativity actually lies in the 15 Shadow. In fact, the secret to every Gene Key in this book lies in harnessing and accepting the energy latent within each of the 64 Shadows. In grasping this fact right here in these two primary Gene Keys, you truly prepare yourself for the voyage to come. What is the meaning then of entropy in your life? As was just mentioned, entropy manifests in human beings as numbness, and this numbness is actually an extremely fertile state of awareness. First of all, you have to understand that it is a chemical state, and secondly, it comes on suddenly and, accepted and fully embraced, it passes just as suddenly. Entropy and creativity are an eternal dance played out within the universe we inhabit. Many mythologies have captured this dance — the dancing figure of Lord Shiva from the Hindu pantheon is just one of these figures whose dance both destroys and creates all that exists. We do not know exactly why we humans feel gloomy on certain days and happy on other days, despite our thousands of theories. Just as there is external weather, there is also internal weather, and it differs in every human being. Yet it is the very unpredictable nature of these internal weather patterns that so many of us struggle with. When you feel the movement of creation inside you, you are happy. When you feel entropy inside you, you are no longer happy. This continual interplay of energy in your life makes you want to always maintain the happy side and escape the gloomy side. Herein lies the greatest flaw in your nature and the distortion of the t... THE GIFT — Freshness
