The Winnemucca Institute for Advanced Studies presents
" What IS Energy ? "
[ Energy is the Ultimate Invariant ! ( in its extreme underlying nature that is ) ]
[ Energy will 'change the form' that it takes in this Reality, when under extreme 'duress' in that 'form',
but it maintains its inscrutable self , no matter which of the 'forms' that it takes. ]
" Energy: The 4 States of its Manifestation "
1. The Radiative State - The Electro-Magnetic Spectrum of radiations all of which immediately move at the Speed of Light - the EM Spectrum.
2. The Special State called Matter - "Matter is a Special State that Energy has the ability to assume." - Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons, plus the vast zoo of 'subatomic' particles. Particle accelerators and the atom bomb have shown us that Matter is really just potential Energy in its 'bottom line'.
3. The Electrical State - The electric energy that is present in Matter, in the + and - polarity of its protons and electrons, Electricity is an energy which can 'travel' on its own, provided it has Matter for a 'conduit'. For example: the weather phenomena of lightening or the wall outlet in your home.
4. The Field State - The Electric Field, the Magnetic Field, and the Gravity Field. - A volume of space where there is an 'energy potential' present. The Field strength diminishes with distance away from the 'central object' that is said to be generating the Field which is causing 'action at a distance' to occur.
* 5. Consciousness: Consciousness is definitely a part of this Universe and this Reality, but have we understood how it 'connects' to the above descriptions of how Energy Manifests itself into its Four States in this SpaceTime Continuum ? Somewhere between 2007 to 2015 this 'thought' arrived one day, and to which I am still not able to fully comprehend what the implications portend.
" Consciousness has an 'adjacency' with the physical world, not an 'overlap' ! "
Can you think of, or identify, anything that does NOT fit into the above 4 or 5 categories ? !! I cannot as yet ! Therefore: I think it may be most appropriate to say :
" In this SpaceTime Reality Continuum, It's ALL Energy !!!!! " ( and you can quote me on that ! Lol )
Now, in thinking about Dobson and the CIU; the Changeless, the Infinite, and the Undivided :
These three main PRINCIPALS : The Changeless, The Infinite, and The Undivided ; show thru into our Awareable Universe and into our Reality, and manifest themselves as the following three PRINCIPLES, here in the ways that our Physics describes them :
1.) The Changeless - manifests as Inertia / Momentum; that which remains unchanged until acted upon by an 'outside force'.
2.) The Infinite - manifests as Energy, "that which can neither be created nor destroyed", Energy truly is "The Infinite" !!! and Energy manifests itself in its Four States of Manifestation here in our Universe and our Reality, as :
1. The Radiative State - the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum - all things that travel at the speed of light.
2. The "Special State of Matter" - electrons, protons, neutrons - and the myriad of other 'particles' that
Physics deems as 'matter'.
3. The Electrical State - that of electric energy, and how it uses electrons for its mode of habitation and
transmission.
4. the Field State - the electric field, the magnetic field, and the gravitational field.
*5. Consciousness: Consciousness is definitely a part of this Universe and this Reality, but is not a
part of this discussion at this time as not enough is known about it to have much to say about it, so
it must wait until later on to be discussed further.
3.) The Undivided - manifests as Gravity, and as the attraction between opposite electrical charges, with its consequential inverse the repulsion of like-charges, as well as in the Magnetic effects of attraction and repulsion.
As an 'opening statement' on this most inscrutable subject of "What IS Energy", . . . Energy might be described as : That which is omnipresent, ubiquitous, ineffable, unknowable, elusive, evasive, indescribable, quantifiable, what we are all made of, how we all continue to survive, without which we perish, and from which we return thereto after our demise, an enigma, and the great mystery which we seek to unravel so as to know the ultimate secrets of the Universe and of this Reality, and in some way our Consciousness in also intertwined and dependent, for Consciousness is an energy in itself, and has been as difficult to fathom as 'Energy' has been, and to which I truly seek to understand more deeply as well !
In the philosophical realm of Existentialism; which I believe purports that "Existence precedes Essence", meaning that a 'person' is conceived and their 'body' is 'created' before a person's 'essence' inhabits their 'body' ! and perhaps it is; the 'electrical' nerve structures begin to 'function' and their 'electrical functioning' may be what 'draws' the 'essence', or 'soul' ?, to then 'desire' to inhabit the 'body' ! Much more discussion and investigation needs to be done on this !! But I think this may well be a new and valid 'argument' for to determine if Existentialism is correct in its initial premise.
This is the first step in our journey; by defining what Energy is in our language, it would be a way to approach an understanding, and in discovering what Energy's real Purpose is, here in this Universe ! As the Universe perhaps desired Life to come into existence, so that the Universe would have a way "to see itself ", so as to understand what it is in itself !, as the Universe may not have understood why it was here to begin with !! , it engendered an environment within itself so that Life could flourish, and thru the eyes of Life, the Universe could then see itself ! And, perhaps, in this Now Moment, the Universe is about to understand something much deeper than it expected to understand about itself !! and that would be : that Energy is the Only Inhabitant of this Universe !!! , and that Life is simply Energy as well !! , because the 'body' that Life uses as the 'vehicle' for itself to inhabit within this Universe, is made of Energy (the special state of matter), and that Life itself is an Energy composed of Consciousness ! which is also Energy in its 'bottom line' as well !
The Universe as a self-aware and conscious entity, now that Life has come into existence ! is 'not alone' !! Is this what the Universe wanted ? not to be 'alone' ?
As the 'Particles' give the 'Fields' "a reason to exist", and the Fields give the Particles "a place to exist", the Universe gives Life a place to exist, and Life gives the Universe a reason to exist !! , and all of these 'entities'; the Particles, the Fields, the Universe, and Life, all exist in a State of mutual co-dependency !! each must have the other in order to logically exist ! And perhaps this is what the 'title' of the book or story I was prompted to write, and which was 'delivered' into my mind about a year ago ! . . . "The Order Already Given" , could mean, the Order of how the Universe is 'ordered' or what it is all about ! This 'title' arrived a year ago, and it has intrigued me ever since !! as to what possible 'metaphors' it could possibly represent ! and 3 have made themselves know so far ! and this new idea is the best one yet !!! and the 4th ! I strongly suspected there were more than just 3 possible 'meanings' to this title of "The Order Already Given". This 'title' makes my mind 'open up' so greatly !! it astounds, boggles, and demands more discovery ! yea, entreats more discovery, and is so pregnant with an unknown 'depth' of understanding that it draws me toward itself with an irresistible attraction !! It is right on the limit of my ability to comprehend that many variables in one moment !! it is that overwhelming ! and that irresistible !! I Love It ~!! It represents the quest of my entire LifeTime ! to truly understand the true nature and composition of this Reality and this Universe !! and perhaps I am now 'standing on the threshold of that understanding' ! But I also know it will take a mind far greater than just mine to be able to comprehend it ALL !! Even a Quantum AI computer chip would not have enough 'processing power' to hold that many concepts all in one moment !
So, yes, we are 'on the threshold', to comprehend it ALL !
It is a monumental honor beyond my wildest imaginings that we are here, now, on this threshold !!! And of what humans may be 'gifted' to be able to achieve someday, depending on if humanity is deemed worthy of such an accomplishment or position in Life, and in this Universe.
However, some humans do such horrible things, and some humans are so amazing and beautiful ; the jury is still 'out' on a verdict of : if humanity will be allowed to continue and to survive, of if humanity will be deemed a failed experiment in a "lifeform being" with a higher intelligence that failed to use their high intelligence for 'good' purposes. I have often wondered if humans have been allowed to continue to exist this long because 'the aliens' who are rumored to visit here occasionally in their UFO spaceships, find us so 'interesting' ! The artists, writers, poets, dancers, musicians, and the really good humans, posit that humanity has many 'redeeming qualities' and should not be 'eliminated' as a 'mistake' quite yet ! But, the bad and worst parts of humanity are a very serious cause for concern, so we are still at present 'confined' to this planet and to this galaxy !
