“When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order”.
Nobel Prize-winning chemist and physicist Ilya Prigogine. His work on dissipative structures and non-equilibrium thermodynamics explains how order can emerge from chaos.
Concepts
Far from Equilibrium: The system is unstable, chaotic, in crisis and this allows for potential transformation.
Small Islands of Coherence: Small groups, initiatives or individuals who align with focus, and who operate in a higher state of consciousness can create change.
Shifting the System: These small, coherent islands can act as “seeds” or “leverage points” that ripple outward, reorganising the entire system into a new, more advanced and functional structure or system.
With Uranus stationary direct tomorrow on 3 February, we need to believe that from chaos can come a new order. With so much pressure astrologically from all outer planets – Pluto, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus – this is entirely possible.
“According to Erica Chenoweth, a political scientist and professor at Harvard who analyzed 323 nonviolent and violent mobilizations between 1900 and 2006, when at least 3.5% of a country’s population actively engages in a peaceful protest movement, it has always resulted in political change.”
