Quantum Self
What is Energy? (A Reference for Our Conversation)
“Energy” is the capacity and power to move or exert force.
“Energy” is, generally speaking, any field or matrix of moving waves carrying information, which cannot be created or destroyed by humans, only transformed from one type or arrangement to another.
The term energy “signal” usually means the information communicated by slower electromagnetic waves that take time and space to travel. However, here it is used more generically to indicate the “information” communicated by any type of wave, even torsion fields that are in touch with one another immediately and symphonically, even at seemingly great distances.
“Pure energy” carries the signature message called life, the source field which animates all particles and atoms with various levels of consciousness.
“Force” might be differentiated from “pure energy”; the former existing within matter, and the latter existing prior to being organized into the shapes we call matter. When form is shattered and is no longer structured, perhaps we can say that “energy” is released. No longer pure or original, but energy existing in wave form.
When speaking about ourselves, we could say that our energy bodies are our nonmaterial bodies. Nonmaterial to our eyes, that is.
Consciousness
What is consciousness, anyway?
Simply put, consciousness is a field of energy vibration carrying information.
Metaphorically, consciousness as a whole is the entire ocean of all energy waves that have coalesced at a meeting point, some damp sand or rocky shore we call matter. Consciousness is the arrayed field of energy waves that whirl information into structured form.
Consciousness is the collective field of all energetic vibration, faster and slower, which underlies and provides the informational blueprint for all existence.
Consciousness is the unified love between pure energy and material form. From the intercourse of pure energy with matter, consciousness emerges.
Consciousness, beingness, love, attention, intention…is there really a difference?
What is Love, Actually?
I wish I could give you a taste of
the burning fire of Love.
There is a fire
blazing inside of me.
If I cry about it, or if I don’t,
the fire is at work,
night and day.
-Jelaluddin Rumi, 13th century Sufi mystic, as translated by Shahram Shiva
The mystics have long described love as a fiery force.
Most of us, however, have largely reduced love to sex. Yet, to simplify or reduce this burning fire of love to sex, is like reducing or equating ourselves with our reproductive organs, though they are indeed one aspect of the self we know as “I”.
What is love actually? The mystics’ metaphor for love, “fire” symbolizes the fire of mind, of illumination, of awareness and of pure consciousness itself. In its pure essence, love is THE spiral cyclic energy whirling all manifested creation within its ever-expanding ring of fire. Where love energy moves, form follows, evolves and expands.
What is Consciousness?
Traditional psychology asserts that consciousness is an “epiphenomenon” of the brain. Believing in the conventional materialist worldview, this group of researchers says that consciousness is somehow created by the brain. Notice that if we believe that every-thing is material, then there is no such “thing” as soul or spiritual existence, no life after the death of the physical body, no consciousness without the brain, no experience that cannot be explained by a physical process. Neuroscientists are busy mapping out which objective parts of the brain correspond to specific types of subjective experience (for example, the multisensory state of consciousness that arises as we inhale the aroma of apple pie baking in the oven). But correlation doesn’t necessarily prove causation.
So far, the latest science shows that our mental and emotional consciousness seems to be present in every cell, not just in the brain. And furthermore, evidence continues to pile up for consciousness independent of the brain and body. Just ask Dr. Eben Alexander, previously a skeptic, now a believer that consciousness is actually “freed up” when it disconnects from the brain, allowing us to experience higher states of existence and knowing. A Harvard and Duke trained neuroscientist, Dr. Alexander has documented his transpersonal near-death experience of out-of-body consciousness in his new book Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Through the Afterlife.

Consider that consciousness is the underlying field of energy that comprises all objective and subjective reality. That means that every-thing and every no-thing is based upon and constructed from consciousness. The entire spectrum of wave vibrational energy carrying information, consciousness spans the slower lower waves of vibration as well as the faster higher pulses of existence. That’s the cutting edge worldview we see after observing the latest data that comes from quantum physics and consciousness research.
