Gospel Koan 30.6

Path of Least Resistance

Koan 30.6

Matter does not conform in freedom but rather in the path of least resistance, thus conserving power: 'ability'.

Summary Exposition

The operative mechanism is the conservation of power (ability), where matter and energy express themselves not through freedom but by following the path of least resistance. A single, potent example is the principle of least action in physics, where light or a moving object takes the most efficient route between two points. The fundamental implication is that the universe is a system of optimized economy; existence is a graceful and continuous process of choosing the least costly path, conserving its potential for future becoming.
