What needs to be understood about the relationship of energy and consciousness is that all our normal way of viewing energy gives no indication of its direct relation to consciousness. Similarly, all our normal ways of viewing consciousness do not reveal its relationship to energy. The discussions on energy consciousness such as “Energy - an invariant within the creativity perspective the key to understanding the creative process,” Interdisciplinary Aspects of the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity Technology,” and "Energy consciousness - the mud of creation/Creation" start their discussion based on the equivalence of the definitions of energy and consciousness. The topic, “Need for our own experiments to reveal our nature and the nature of Creation - lessons learned from wave particle duality” discusses the need for us to do our own experiments. That is, since our normal way of viewing Creation does not allow us to readily see the nature of energy and consciousness, we need to create experiences to change our perspective and method of observation to see the relationship.

Another way to view this relationship is to realize and contemplate the fact that all of Creation arises from the same “stuff” of Creation. We are the “stuff” of creation/Creation. In this regard, understanding who and what we are can provide a great understanding about Creation/creation. Similarly, understanding the world external to us, can tell us a lot about ourselves and creation/Creation. It is to realize that whatever we are, we are made of the same “stuff”we experience outside ourselves. What we experience in our life and within ourselves is the same in some way as that which we see outside ourselves. Knowing that, we can then look to see what occurs in the processes we observe outside ourselves. This includes observing both (1) the process that occur within of our world, of which we are an apparent independent observer standing outside and apart from which is occurring, for example, the sun rising, and (2) the processes which occur within our world of which we know we are a part. We can then look at our own lives and infer something about the larger process governing our lives of which we are only a part.

Whether we consider the statement that we all arise from the same “stuff” of Creation an assumption or a fact, is our choice. Whether we wish to call the “stuff” out of which all Creation arise as God or a pre-Creation Void is also our choice. However, it needs to be realized that our choice as to what we believe does not necessarily reflect reality. Of course, the objection can be raised that we can say that living forms arise from a different “stuff” than non living forms. It can be said the evidence suggests there are two “stuffs” of creation. You could say that living forms arise from, or with, spirit or soul (“spirit stuff” or “unseen stuff”) whereas non living forms arise only from material Creation (“material stuff”). These two forms are suggested because living forms have an animating force, animating energy, spirit or whatever that gives it life where as non living material seems to have no such quality. However, we can equally say that a living form is just a different expression of the same “stuff” of Creation as a non living form. That is the “spirit stuff” and the “material stuff” are somehow the same but expressed differently.

If we look carefully, all the material world is made of energy which is unseen (except visible light for we seen that because of how our eyes are constructed) . Energy - the ability or capacity to produce an effect is just as nebulous a concept as what we call the spirit that animates life. We do not consider it nebulous because we can do something with this concept through mathematics and the other half of the definition of energy - that is, the ability to do work. Here work is given a precise mathematical definition of a force (push or pull) acting through a distance. The ability to do work is just the ability to cause a push or pull to come into existence and act on something through a given distance. But what we do know that is not nebulous is that energy can be transformed into mass and it is energy that animates our life. What animates our life has been traditionally called our spirit. Yet it is only an energy. Take the energy process away - that is deny it the fuel found in the food we eat and the air we breath - and the individual dies. So, in some way, energy as described in physics is related to what we call spirit. In fact, this connection about a life energy or life force within us a has been always known and goes back to the original definition of the horse power.

It is not far fetched to say that living forms and “spirit stuff” is only a different expression of the same non living “material stuff.” The question is, “What is this “stuff” of Creation and what is the relationship between the “material stuff” and the “spirit stuff”?” Their relationship is energy. So the starting point to understand how we create our experiences and the reality of those experiences is energy. Energy being that ability or capacity to produce an effect or the ability to do work. We just need to realize that consciousness is a different form of energy for when we are aware and awake, conscious as to how something works, we possess the ability or capacity to produce an effect.
