Question? Entropy: if equilibrium is “a chaotic state” and organization is an unnatural state, then our perception of coming together (friends) is inverted.  The end of age/time, etc, will be disarrayed and chaotic. Then the universe as it stands is in alignment with the plan of creation?

If the theory of entropy is correct per the Zohar course, what are we (students) preparing for?  It seems there is a piece we have not learned yet. There seems to be a missing piece.

Please correct my understanding of entropy and Kabbalah.

Hey Beverly,

Entropy, just like gravity or the strong or weak nuclear force–these are just observed laws of our universe which follow one single goal; to bring creation to it highest degree–similarity with the force that created it.

All of nature’s laws work in unison, working on the will to receive to develop it and guide it through the many accumulative states necessary for man to then want correction.

The act of the creation of our world was this shattering and integration of the will to bestow within the will to receive. This inter-mingling of all the parts causes separation between them with the goal of uniting them into a single whole again. It’s also important not to get caught up in the physical reality itself and remember this is all within our own perception and all that we find “outside” ourselves is all actually inside of us–it just appears to us the opposite.

Thanks!

Chris

Hey Chris,

Maybe this article will articulate my question better:  sciencenotes.org/what-is-entropy-definition-and-examples/

So, if KabU in the Zohar course utilizes the terminology “entropy” and entropy refers to a scientific process then how does that process relate to Kabbalah/Zohar?

Is the premise we are solid form changing into “gaseous” (spiritual) form? Or did I miss the point? And if I did why use the term “entropy”?

Big word with a BIG concept. How does it relate to Kabbalah?

Thanks

Hey Beverly,

Yes, understood. I don’t think it’s necessary to try and tie entropy to spiritual processes in such a way that spirituality becomes some digestible concept. The fact is, the reality of bestowal, this perception we are gradually brought into, is so opposite than our current perception that the only real route towards it is how the Kabbalists guide us into it. I understand entropy as a huge concept that works on everything in our reality, but it’s still a corporeal phenomena–a simple rule that basically says whatever energy being used to “keep shape” is dissipated in space over time. You could liken this to the “balance” working in nature that is always active and working on us. So yes, nature always strives for balance, the ego needs to be balanced with the Masach (screen) and the quality of bestowal.

Thanks!

Is there subjective spirit and objective spirit like a person and the environment?

Hey mrc,

Are you referring to the difference between the collective and the individual?

Can i get the source quote where BHS says he doesn’t care what they do with his sack of bones when he dies.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Brad,

As far as I remember, this isn’t something written in texts, it’s just something Rabash said his father told him when they asked what he preferred after his death.
