The IMPACTS Blog

I believe that life formed as a response to the 2^nd Law of Thermodynamics which says that energy disperses. Life holds energy together but dispersal forces are ever-present in the realm of life too.

Though things may seem desperate at times and hope may be in short supply, we need to remember that life formed against all possible odds because she refused to go along with the forces of dispersal. She went against the flow and that is why we are here.

There is no reason to throw our hands up in the air with despair. That would only be a victory for dispersal. Keep working on strengthening the forces of human bonding. That is the answer—the only answer.

Some have bemoaned the lack of interest in science among the populace today, especially among the young. But I believe that is partly a result of a lack of true democracy throughout the society combined with an abundance of hierarchal structures. Science is discovery and discovery requires a lack of boundaries. It also requires the freedom to fail and the freedom from hierarchal dictates. Dispersal forces that promote homogeneity discourage inquiry. Therefore change usually comes from the periphery. It has to because the pressures within stifle creativity and alternative thinking.

Let’s don’t recoil at the challenge of these age-old questions. Often we are more intimidated by expectations of difficulty than we are by the challenge itself. Just because we have been ‘taught’ or led to believe that certain answers are out of reach does not mean that they actually are. One reason it might seem so is because we live in a hierarchal system that directs inquiry to its needs and away from a natural open curiosity. Our ‘free will’ is a misnomer. We have free will within the parameters set for us by forces beyond our control.

The word science instantly makes many people cringe. They relate it to laboratories and physics and chemical equations and all of that. But science is really about knowledge, and learning is a whole lot more fun, and easier too, if you can identify a dynamic weaving itself through the field of study, a dynamic that everything else is built around. As I said, complexity is often a ruse. Let’s not get sidetracked by it. Early modern humans focused on the simple in the environment with an eye towards cause and effect and their accomplishments were prodigious. Of course they weren’t constrained by hierarchal dictates as we are either.

Everything is energy including human beings. We are scientists, teachers, doctors, nurses, truck drivers, carpenters, grocery clerks, and everything else needed to keep the world turning but underneath all of it we are bundles of energy.

There appear to be 2 major forms of energy—first, a dispersal force which follows the 2^nd Law of Thermodynamics, and secondly its antithesis which tries to prevent dispersal.

The dispersal force is what we call the male force. The anti-dispersal force is the female force. The female force duplicates and reproduces in an attempt to create bonds which will slow down dispersal. I call this force the IMPACTS force and the people who manifest it the IMPACTS. Life itself is an anti-dispersal force. DNA is an agent as it duplicates and reproduces itself.

When I say male and female, I am referring to the nature of the forces. Human beings have a combination of both forces but obviously we have one more than the other. IMPACTS appear to be a hybrid of both forces more so than most people.

The proton is part of the male force—the electron is part of the female force. Black holes are male—stars are female. We see the same pattern throughout the universe including in human affairs—a small core of male energy taking control of creative-productive female energy. Think about the dynamics of war. What is really happening? The male force predominantly is taking the production of the female force—human beings—and sending them to disperse the “potential” of other people. Potential in physics means a difference in levels of energy. The dispersal force wants no concentration of energy. In war, the male dispersal force is attempting to eliminate differences. It wants “their” energy to be like our energy.

The hydrogen atom is an excellent example of what is taking place. The proton “captures” the electron but the electron refuses to be imprisoned. If presented with the opportunity, it bonds with another nearby valence electron forming a molecule. This slows the dispersal force but the dispersal force captures the new production also. The irony is that in an attempt to halt dispersal, the creative-productive forces have actually strengthened the male dispersal forces. Such is the universe, the constant struggle between dispersal and its opposite.

It is the same everywhere you look—the female force creates and produces and the male force takes the creative-production and uses it for their own ends. That’s why we have the world we do. The dispersal forces are slightly stronger than the female IMPACTS forces trying to hold everything together.

What can be done to even things out? The female IMPACTS forces have to first become aware of the situation and then develop clever strategies to deal with the dispersal tendencies that permeate human society and the relations among all societies.
