Energy
is the potential of the universe(s).
Energy
is all that is and all that could possibly be.
Energy
is so bounteous it can usefully be considered a constant (It cannot be
created or destroyed.) and it continually transforms (The universe(s) is
constant change.)
Energy
is manifest in myriad transient forms, which exist for the period that
the energy flows sustaining it remain relatively in balance. Examples:
Water in = water out, thus the lake exists
Thermal energy in = thermal energy out, thus
the watery planet exists
Energy
is paradox: energy is all forms and no form is energy. We deny reality
(the universal change) when we symbolize a form or group of forms as
energy.
Example
of psychosis: energy is symbolised as petroleum.
When
we give each form a symbol according to its unique properties we are
better able to reflect reality and enjoy greater harmony with all.
Any
form can be observed from many perspectives, including its thermal,
gravitational, electromagnetic, kinetic, chemical and other potentials.
Human
beings are integral to the universal flux and are mortal beings. Thus we
live in uncertainly and cannot know the full potential. Our act of
observing affects the observed in ways we cannot know.
In
any moment only a trace amount of the potential is actualized or
realized. The vast bulk of the incredibly bounteous possibilities remain
unrealized. We are each sentient of only a trace amount that of that
which is realized.
Our
awareness of the possibilities affects how the potential is manifest. In
other words our thoughts and feelings are actions within the universal
flux of potential actions. Example:
The rock is not moving and yet its potential to move
affects all
movement underneath it. For instance we human beings know
its gravitational potential and refrain from building our
dwellings
underneath it.
It is a constant force in our minds.
In
summary
Energy
is the potential of the universe(s) and is manifest in myriad forms.
Give each form its own symbol so it can be more fully known. Do this and
our children can better know the bounteous nature of energy and enjoy
the vitality of its transformations.

the rewards of being a conservator of the potential of our greatest
