LIFE, INFORMATION AND CHANGE
Life is that thing we have that is aware. So what is awareness? It is a knowing which recognizes our Self in relation to the other things around us. It is our knowledge of Self; of distinctness.
So Life is awareness, and self-awareness; awareness is a sort of knowledge. So what is knowledge? It is associated with Information, which is Order rather than Chaos.
Information is a stored or storable pattern that shows the presence of nonrandomness. All matter is simple energy arranged in a pattern, or as Deepak Chopra points out, energy and information.
Modern mathematics has given rise to Chaos theory, which shows that randomness always gives way to a nonrandom pattern, if there is any change at all. Only a complete lack of change could fail to be creative.
Creation represents change, but the action of Mind is also that which maintains the patterns. We know that the quantum world, which underlies our reality, is in constant flux. What, then, keeps our physical world from dissolving into quantum 'soup'? Could it be that the same Creative Mind that causes change also causes continuity?
