Is energy a mental construct, or is our mental awareness a by-product of energy as it exists? If a mental construct, then how can the God concept be ruled out? If our mental awareness is a by-product of energy as it exists, then intelligence must be a random occurrence. I lean towards energy being mental by nature, and existing in many forms, connected to a greater intelligence or mind.
For example: dead white blood cells (hair, toe nails, dead skin, etc) would be by-products of a larger mental and living entity. Based on what we know about life, why is it difficult for some to grasp the concept of things like plants, trees, etc. being similar as they relate to this egg (cell) we call earth, and the earth connected in similar manner to an even greater source of intelligence?
If it is true that memories are the same as energy, then the more energy the more memories.
Just put a lightning rod on our head, and the next time there is lightning....ZAP....and we'll learn. (Well....we'll learn not to do that again).
Some say that energy is never created or destroyed. What they really mean is that the combination of mass and energy is constant. After all E = mc^2 means that mass converts to energy and energy converts to mass. This is the concept that nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs use.
So, some figure that if the "mass & energy combination" is never destroyed, when we die our conciousness (our mind and perhaps soul) continue(s) on.
But there is more to the
soul than merely energy. It is also organized thought.
So, when a psychic consults the
Akashic Records, he consults a
vast storage of information.
Some wonder if the distribution of mass in space, which sometimes looks like
wispy clouds of mass, might somehow store information like a human brain does. But the psychic energy responsible for knowing future events isn't associated with regular mass?
Psychics can access knowledge of the future. Currently,
physicists don't think that matter or electromagnetic energy can travel backwards in time. But maybe the energy of the soul is not an energy that we know about? Maybe it is an energy that can travel faster than time, or into the future, or into the past?
Physics have known that the
universe is expanding (that is, the fabric of space is expanding). As it does, every star moves away from every other star (unless they have been moved from their original location by some explosion, or unless they are gravitationally bound to other stars).
Physicists have been baffled by the
acceleration of this expansion of the universe. Currently, there are stars that are moving away from each other faster than the speed of light. Phyicists had theorized that some hitherto unknown energy (called dark energy) was causing the fabric of space to expand. But, this
dark energy would have to have negative gravity (push things apart, rather than pull them together). Recently, it was announced that psycists have
found dark energy. But what do we know of dark energy? Does it have negative gravity, as speculated?
If dark energy has negative gravity, can it travel backward in time?
If some type of energy can travel backward in time, could it be that the end of the universe could become the beginning of the universe? If so, the universe could create itself. Could it be that regular matter or energy could somehow be converted to dark energy?
If some energy could travel backward in time and create the universe, that would mean that the alpha (first letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing the beginning) could be the omega (last letter of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing the end). Did God and Jesus say that they were
the alpha and the omega?
I don't think that it follows that "mental awareness is a by-product of energy," nor that "intelligence is a random occurrence." Please explain in more detail.
Life and earth are related (
Gaia Theory....the earth is alive...it has respiration, and corrects problems and fights invaders....humans might be the invaders).
