Ah yes, Like a job, climbing mount everest, retirement at 50. Anything in the material world.
Can you identify any meaning/purpose that is not "in the material world"? I would even consider a purpose such as "to love as much as I can" or "to do what I can in order to gain access to the afterlife" as being in the material world.
Do you mean that this energy is a physical energy, in that it is measurable and quantifiable and identifiable? In this case it would have a specific name.
I'm afraid I don't have the education required to continue this line of thought where I'd like it to go. I really don't know too much about energy and relativity and mass and such. But, are you saying there's some energy in an atomic explosion that is not accounted for in some way? I was trying to say that atomic explosions occur exactly as we'ed expect them to. That is, all energy and mass components are accounted for (measured and quantifiable). Are you saying I'm wrong? If you are saying I'm wrong, can you explain to me what's being missed?
We know this energy is already there and yes, it is a part of the physical world that as yet we are only aware of in destructive form. Einstein's theory of everything was intended for the greater good but by using his theory in reverse, it became destructive. However that same energy is in all things appearing/contained in different life forms.
I agree, yes. We all have atoms, that could theoretically-possibly be split, and their energy could be released. Is that what you mean here?
I believe we, as individuals and collectively, possess this energy. It is in connecting with this energy that will lift us to another realm. Hence, my definition of 'down to earth spirituality'.
We possess this energy?
I agree to that in the sense of possess that the atoms with this energy are a part of our physical bodies.
I do not agree to that in the sense of possess that implys we somehow have control over this energy. What makes you think we can control the internal-energy inside the atoms of our bodies?
And then we jump to "this energy that will lift us to another realm". I'm not sure where that comes from. I mean, even if we assume we can tap into this energy somehow... what makes you think it will lift us to another realm? Why wouldn't it do something else, like maybe... give us the ability of telepathy, or maybe we'ed spontaneously explode in a mini-atom bomb. Why do you assume this energy (that I still don't even think we can get to) has a specific purpose, and that you know exactly what this purpose is?
I read somewhere that a master is not the one with all the answers but the one with all the questions. Thanks for your great questions.
No problem. I'm no master, I'm simply here to learn.
