We can be grounded, centered, connected only insofar as we have a sense of how the universe works and where we belong within it. For our own health and wholeness, we each need to know what is, for us, supremely significant, ultimately real, and integral to the way the universe works. No religious formulation, no statement of faith, including mine, is factually true. I suggest a concept that acknowledges what we know from modern science but is not limited to what we can see, smell, touch, taste and hear, either personally or through scientific instrumentation. My Cosmology 1.
Energy is the essence of life, the prime characteristic of the universe.
Everything that we experience as matter, including ourselves, consists of tiny energized particles moving in space. Matter is illusory. One may envision the entire universe as being alive with these and other forces and processes that scientists have identified. I envision, additionally, the entire universe energized, virtually humming, with the energy and intelligence of love and its correlates, creativity and healing. These energies may be pictured as existing and moving in the spaces between the particles, along with the other universals.
