Divine Enzyme?

[via ~Scottyd~]

We all possess ‘enzymes’ in our bodies which are proteins that catalyze or speed up chemical reactions by reducing the required dosage of activation energy. Without these enzymes our bodies couldn’t keep up with the energy needs of all our systems....

It looks like things are changing because we’re expending all this time and energy, but real change can’t occur. It’s like pushing a boulder up a hill and sliding back down in the mud after getting only halfway to the top. But sometimes change does seem to really happen thanks to a catalyst of some kind (which could be a combination of all sorts of things from the Holy Spirit, to a charismatic leader, to tragedy, to paradigm shifts, etc) and afterwards the situation is notably different in character (and you might say, in chemistry). But the new order of things is understandably quite terrifying to most human beings since we traditionally prefer the status quo. Going “over the hump” into the unknown on the other side is pretty freaky. It’s also worth noting that when individuals or groups of people go through such radical changes that often a ‘down time’ of reduced energy is required to reorient everything before going through another big change. I have a suspicion that most people can relate to some of this stuff with vivid examples.
