If God is energy.

Spirit of Light

Yes. I'd say that and not a creator though. Here's a good description
the force or influence that gives something its vitality or strength.

Life force:

"the passionate life force of the symphony"

the spirit or energy that animates living creatures; the soul.

You can experience it through say creative expression, doing stuff for others, meditation, prayer, and goodwill.

I usually say spirit cause it sounds better than LF. People experience "god" by using energy to heal. Holistic practice. Shamans use it and such. Most I hear about it is through say a guru or wise one or so have you...one is trained under someone to get that level of energy and experience Life itself.

My question for you related to this is how do you personally see similarities and differences of energy as God and creator?

If God is energy ( do not need to be the abrahanic God) and everything is build or created by energy, would'nt that mean a human being should be able to "tapp in to" the energy of God?

Is that how a human being can awaken to God from within?

Just a thought in my mind :confused: its mind boggeling :oops:

I do not believe that God is only energy.

If God is energy, it would depend on GOd being pantheistic, panentheistic or cloven from the universe altogether. So this would definitely depend on your ontology.

Honestly i do not hold the answer to my own OP:) and maybe i will never fully realize the full aspect of what God is :)

So there is matter, and there is energy, and the one circulates continuously throughout the other?

Depending on whether you consider fields to be matter, which is a trickier question that most might think (e.g., fields are rife with virtual particles; but perhaps not what we would call real particles sometimes). Fields are at least definitely physical. Energy is all associated with motion and/or configuration, and sometimes it's carried by fields (but really, as has already been pointed out, this is a Paul Davies-style free lunch where it all adds up to zero in such cases: think along the lines of 1 + (-1) = 0).

An other aspect of this would be that a God would have much higher understanding of what existence is than our human mind can understand that it is may not be possible for human to actually explain with human language what God is.

Yeah, it seems that beyond every question, there's always a trickier question. ;)

According to the spiritual philosophy that I'm familiar with, the universe is made up of mass and energy (those are interchangeable: E=mc2) but elemental particles are made up of billions of microvita which form a bridge between consciousness and matter.

So, although these are all creations of God, a thought projection within the Mind of God (the Cosmic Mind which needs no brain), the base of the universe is the Cosmic Consiousness.

God is a mystery, but He creates everything from Consciousness with the help of the Creative Principle.
In Sanskrit they call them Shiva or Purusha (Consciousness) and Shakti or Prakrti (Creative Principle/Force).
These two are like the two sides of a coin, they cannot be separated from one another.

I hope I did not make any mistakes in the way I explained this.
