---===Question about low vs high entropy===---
What if you have a good low entropy intention that appears to increase the entropy later on? How can we know wether our intention lowers or increases entropy? Can we ever know? Should we even try to find out? What does Tom say about this?
For example:
Intenion = serve humanity
Outcome = you join the military and help defend your nation
We can ALWAYS tell by the feedback. There are 2 main types of feedback, INTERNAL and EXTERNAL. The people around you (EXTERNAL) will let you know, one way or another, how you are doing. And then there is the INTERNAL feedback mechanism (how do you feel) that tells you how you are doing.
Just ask yourself a couple of questions, at any given time: "How do I feel?" is one, and "How am I getting along with the people around me?" IS THE OTHER.
Tom has suggested that if you feel pretty happy most of the time, then you are probably a fairly Highly evolved (low entropy) human being. But if you feel as though "My life sucks" and "My job sucks", then its PROBABLY just your attitude that really sucks.
