 We return again to another concept uncovered in the Aragorn piece. This time relating to the discordant note and manifestation of darkness in Tolkien's works. However, I will not be approaching this from a Lord of the Rings perspective. I want to talk about this reality. discordant  At the highest potential level of understanding, all of reality is harmonious and dancing with itself. Even when it's not. All is operating in the harmony of Source, because Source is everything and is therefore harmonious with itself. All that occurs is meant to occur, simply because it is Source contemplating itself. And Source is both the consciousness as a whole and all the consciousnesses inside the whole. It's a body moving in accordance with itself.
Such is the meaning of the Tao, or Yin Yang symbol. That's great. Lovely. Comprehensive. Om so hum. But we all know that experience inside the whole of Source is very different. As we are alive and in an incarnated form, we are all exposed to the discordant note of reality. The friction that causes growth. The resistance that must be overcome to grow. A discordant note in music is a sound that comes across harshly within the music being produced. It makes you grit your teeth and twist your face in an expression of innate distaste. If all of reality is music, which can be mathematically calculated no less, then the discordant note can also be calculated. It is a mathematical variable known as entropy. Entropy, the discordant note, moves at an angle to the music of reality. Its very nature disrupts the harmony of the wave forms around it, leaving behind a wake of wobbling frequencies. It is in this wake that resistance comes, that friction in your life appears, so that you may ride those wobbling frequencies and so grow from the experience. It is in interacting with the discord created by entropy that you learn more about yourself, because the discord itself opens you to greater harmonies you did not know existed. Stagnant energy inside of yourself, your soul, your consciousness, can act like a box that contains greater and larger harmonic fields that your soul could be producing. The only way to expand into these greater harmonic fields is to pry open the box. For that you need a tool. For that you need entropy, the great crowbar of Source. Once opened, the stagnant energy is released as entropy moves its wake across you. The resulting discord allows for the box to dissolve and for your consciousness to expand. But just like the discordant note in music, the entropic wake is unpleasant. Face-twistingly, tooth-grindingly unpleasant. Nails on a chalkboard unpleasant. Dry ball bearings in a fan unpleasant. Failing belt in an engine unpleasant. The nails in the box protest at the pressure just as your ears protest at the squealing of that ungreased fan. Yet you cannot ignore such things. If you ignore the squealing fan, it will overheat and catch fire, melt down, or fly off into the wall. Same with your failing belt. Same with the entropic wakes in your life. If you ignore them, they only serve to cause even more friction. To build in amplitude until you're all at sea and with no clue what's going on in your purposeful unawareness. And they will continue to build until you either drown in the entropy of your life or finally begin to swim. Either way, entropy will conquer your boxes, dissolve them, destroy them, and you will expand whether you like it or not. Isn't it better, then, to welcome the discord of your life? To welcome the entropic wake? What if you took that energy and used it right away? What if you accepted this gift of a crowbar from Source? Would you not have an easier time opening your boxes of stagnant energy? Why not do so the moment you sense yourself bobbing in that wake. You're only going to open that box and expand anyway. Might as well do it while Source is lovingly handing you that crowbar instead of waiting for Source to start whacking you over the noggin with it. I thank you for your time.
