Thermodynamic arrow of time

consider the 3 states of experience: flow, fear, and love (is that what i called them before?)

consider our individual entropy level (aka ego etc), and how this is affected by these 3 states (in flow it remains constant?)

consider our experience of the passing of time, and how this is affected by these 3 states (in flow there is no experience of passing time?). If this pattern holds, then in love we experience a reversal of time?! ie we experience that from which we 'came from' (using our usual 'fear' based timeline as reference), ie unity. This concurs with scientific theory of a big bang singularity.

the thermodynamic arrow of time is the direction in which entropy rises. Because memory causes a rise in entropy (or falls? - i always get confused in directions here), this means that because we experience time because of memory, it is necessarily aligned to the thermodynamic arrow of time.
