That's a very good observation. In the mystic world view there are three measures for everything in (non)-existence: Space, Time and Consciousness. (Sorry if I'm repeating myself).

All three are continuous spectra, with the eternal, true, unchanging at one end and the transient, illusory and mutating at the other end. Mystics strive to reach the transcendent at the eternal/true/unchanging end. Entropy is at the other endpoint.
