We are nothing more than a fragment of ethereal energy acting upon our current reality. We control that reality, although place the blame on others. We do so because it is the others that judge us. When our reality does not match the reality of the majority, we are considered neurotic. Could it be that reality is imposed upon us? Could it be that reality is a learned thing? Ah, that is the stuff the psychologists like to talk about. That is the stuff they are " qualified " to determine. Or, are they? What knowledge do they have to determine such? They only have what is being taught by others as reality.
We are ethereal energy. The fragility of human life is well known. We are all well aware of our mortality yet often ignore that reality altogether. We do so saying we are going to " live our lives. " What does that mean? It means we intend to do the things that please us. We intend to expend our energy in a manner that we chose. But then, there is reality to deal with. Yes, that imposed reality that we have to work, eat, and interact with others. And it is in that effort that the majority of our energy is expended. Exhausted on imposed reality. It exists, but only for a short time, like a dream. Hasn't it been said, life is like a dream? Reality and dreams can be confused.
I'm thinking that ethereal energy is what we call our soul. It's a thought I have held for quite some time. I've written about it in the past and suspect I will do so in the future. We know that our body returns to the earth if we do nothing to disrupt that process. Man has long sought to preserve that body for various reasons. The intent, I believe, is a subconscious hope that the body could one day be reanimated. From the story of the Frankenstein monster to cryogenics that is the underlying thought. I believe that to be a foolish enterprise as you can not create energy. Fact is, we can apply electrical impulses to muscles and cause them to twitch, yes it's morbid, but works even after the death of the person. Would we say they are alive? No, because the energy is external and what is required is internal.
The big question is and always has been how does this energy act upon us? How does that energy arrive to animate us? Is this energy just free floating throughout the universe, or is it created during conception? That is the heart of the matter as far as I am concerned. I can only imagine such concepts based on the reality I know. I believe energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one state to another. That is the science as I understand it. If man could create energy, man could create life. We can't do that, we can only take it. Energy is expended by doing work, another scientific fact. Electrical energy was originally thought to flow from the positive to the negative, but in more recent times the thinking is just the opposite. What is certain is that electrical current always flows from a higher electrical potential to a lower electrical potential, that and opposite to the flow of electrons. So using that knowledge, and applying it to the reality I know, I say that energy comes from God. God being the higher potential energy it naturally follows that energy would be flowing to the negative, which is man. All man can do is expend that energy. That leaves us with the question of how that potential energy( God ) gets recharged. Perhaps it is by the good deeds of man, performing his work here on earth. Perhaps it is as simple as God creates all energy. That is what makes God, well God.
All of that still leaves leaves me wondering how that energy winds up as our soul. It is the soul that animates the body, although we often call bad people soulless. I just think of them as living in a different reality. A reality I, and many others would describe as neurotic. Another word for that is insane. Insane meaning , not in their right mind. The truth is their reality doesn't match ours, or the majority. It's real to them though, don't forget that. Still no explanation for how it arrives, whether through the positive or negative. We have to have both for the circuit to be completed. Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil, positive and negative, good and bad. Both exist in the world, the world that is our reality. A reality imposed upon us by outside forces.
What I believe we should do is use that " inside force " to control our reality. That is where " inner peace " resides doesn't it? " The peace of God that passes all understanding " That is a piece of scripture from the Bible that I heard every Sunday, without really hearing it. I wonder if I will be aware of the next reality. Being aware of reality is life, isn't it? Even when that reality is imposed by others?
