Over the next 7 days, I will explain briefly what I believe are the 7 points that are key to understanding the IMPACTS concept. It is all very rational and I think you will see it makes perfect sense–if I explain it correctly. Everything is following a natural progression. The development of the family is the same as the development of the atom is the same as the development of the country and on and on. Everything is following the same model.
Point #1
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and its antithesis. The 2nd Law is simple–concentrated energy anywhere in the universe including on earth will disperse (break up and scatter) if not hindered from doing so. Obviously hindering is at work because we are here as are planets and stars and billions of other things. What is holding it together? Strong bonds and strong attractions. Some cosmologists believe it is mainly electrical–most believe it is gravitational, including that caused by dark matter. I think the important point is this–the universe is expanding and dispersing–galaxies are moving apart BUT there is a force that is working hard to keep things together. To me that is the most important part–the dichotomy at work–the dynamic–the battle. I don’t think the universe is just a “picture-show”–I believe it is a struggle between the forces of dispersal (coming apart) and the forces of “keeping together”.
We see these exact same 2 forces on earth. Of course human beings and human societies are a hybrid of these 2 forces–we don’t see the “pure” forms of the forces–we see the hybrid versions. It is the same with the orbit of the moon. Two forces are at work. One is moving the moon straight ahead in a straight line–the other is the force of the earth pulling it straight down. The result is the moon in its orbit.
In the universe I think the male force is the dispersal force and the female force is the “hold together” force. The same 2 forces are at work on earth among human beings. The pure male force breaks up concentrated energy and takes–the pure female force creates, forms, and produces–it fights back against dispersal.
This is the 1st key point–2 forces appear to be struggling across the universe–a male force and a female force, and it is the same 2 forces that struggle on earth. Taoists have been saying this for centuries though not using the exact same terminology though they have called the 2 forces male and female. I agree with the Taoists but I will take it further.
The 2nd point tomorrow.
