Lowering the entropy of consciousness increases its quality, simultaneously necessitating the increasing of the stability and strength of the structure upholding it.

Hey, thanks for commenting. Lowering entropy overall, though, decreases the number of possibilities available to actualize, or experience through sheer serendipity. Saturn rules a lot of things.

You might want to consider my pieces on the symbolism and meanings of the LRP and Chesed Jupiter, which complements this one.

Serendipity means randomness, which is high entropy, and does increase possibilities only at lower levels of organisation. When these levels are exhausted of their value in terms of growth and learning, they are automatically superseded as sources of learning by higher levels of learning, and because the structure has been altered to allow for higher levels of learning for consciousness to become embodied. When the life force becomes depleted through sexual activity the consciousness is forced to explore lower levels of awareness for greater structural reinforcement. It sets into process the cumulative aggregation of awareness for the expansion of consciousness.

I get what you mean.

Chaos and randomness can be useful at early stages, but structure becomes more important as awareness develops.

I just think it’s easy to overcomplicate the model. In practice, growth is rarely a straight line from “low entropy” to “high structure.”

Actually, the principle of growth Jupiter Chesed is also the Element of Luck, which also implies plenty of randomness.

Even at advanced stages, there’s value in deliberately reintroducing controlled chaos to break stagnation.

I agree. I found your article as a result of an Internet search brought about by a dream, which involved two people talking about Tarot, Geburah and gateways. I'm inclined to believe that nothing is quite as by chance, or as quite random as we are lead to believe. Conventional ideology leads to limiting belief systems that are rigid and restrictive, and the only way to alchemise new learning is by breaking down the old in order to rebuild anew.

Hey, well if you think about it, what brought you to my work was that same randomness we discussed.

Geburah, Mars, the 27th path (פ), aka, the Tower card, breaks structures that limit and restrict yet are baseless.

I highly recommend my work on the LRP, as well as the video versions, as they include graphics that can help a lot.

As far as the sexual energy stuff, you mentioned in a previous reply, maybe my last piece on NoFap.

Also, thanks for this discussion and the sub!
