Energy, Energy, and Energy:  Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Energy is the ability to perform work or make a change.  To put it simply, it's what causes events to occur, whether it's moving objects, producing heat, producing light, or powering machines.  According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be generated or destroyed, but only changes from one form to another.  For instance, a battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy, which can then be used to produce light or heat.  In a nutshell, energy doesn't vanish - it simply changes form.

.

The reason energy is conserved is that the laws of physics remain constant at all times (time symmetry).  To achieve that symmetry, energy conservation is necessary.  Energy cannot simply appear or disappear because the laws of physics don't change with time, which is why the universe follows the same rules yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  Due to nature's consistency and predictability, energy always transforms instead of being created or destroyed.

.

Think about what would happen if energy were able to just appear or disappear:

·  Machines would never run out of fuel.
·  A ball may bounce higher than where it began.
·  You could get “something from nothing,” breaking all predictability in physics.

At the same time, the lack of energy would mean that becoming within all beings or things would be impossible, resulting in the absence of the law of kamma.  Without energy, the fluctuations of dependent activities would be impossible to iterate since everything or every event is interdependent and co-appearing ad infinitum (the qualities of emptiness). 

 

Ultimately, a correlation exists between energy and emptiness.  Looking through energy is the same as looking through emptiness; looking at emptiness is the same as looking at energy.  From this comes the saying, “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form”.  The principle that applies is that seeing into form means seeing into matter, seeing into matter means seeing into energy (E = mc2), and seeing into energy means seeing into emptiness. Remember that an object can only emerge from energy and emptiness in a system, not from nothing.

Energy Is Space In Tango, Space Is Energy At Play

 

Energy is generally represented as a vibration, which is the presence of opposing forces.  The alternating motion of the opposing forces would then generate a continuum of undulating patterns swinging back and forth.  This may be elucidated by a tango dance (a partner dance), where space is meant as energy to play on a dance floor. 

 

But what causes energy to travel in a wave pattern?  Generally speaking, travelling would entail motion.  Motion does follow laws, specifically Newton's Laws of Motion, which describe how objects move in response to forces.  These three laws specify that an object that is at rest stays at rest, and an object that is in motion remains in motion; unless there is an unbalanced force acting upon it, the speed and direction will remain the same (first law). When a net force is applied, an object will accelerate in the same direction as the force, but the acceleration is proportional to the object's mass (second law).  Lastly, every action produces an equal and opposite reaction (third law).

 

Now, let's take a look at the illustration below:

Remarks:

1.  Spacetime fabric is full of energy vessels, as are blood vessels in our tissues and organs.  Basically, we could describe these energy vessels as the arteries and veins of the cosmos in a nested structure of the corrugated pattern. 

2.  In accordance with the 1st Law of Motion, if Point 1 to Point 5 are at rest, they will stay at rest or vice versa, unless an outside force is applied to them.

3.  When energy travels, there will be a scenario where the opposing forces from Point 1 to Point 5 move towards each other, as shown below:

4.  The pressure dynamics at the collision point cause the energy vessels to flare outward before reuniting with the adjacent energy vessels ad infinitum.  Eventually, the opposing forces would alternately move, generating a continuous sequence of wavy patterns that swing back and forth.

5.  In addition, the intersection of low-frequency energy waves in space is called matter.  This is something that occupies space due to the conversion of mobile waves into standing energy waves, as shown below: 

6.  In other words, energy and matter are only two aspects of the same thing; the two are mirrored differently under conditional phenomena.  

 

From what we've seen, it's possible to conclude that our mother nature is organised around a system of symmetry.  Gravitational force occurs when the gravity conveyor belts start to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise in relation to the spawning of atoms or molecules. These gravity conveyor belts are, in fact, the rotating motion of the energies that make up the integration of the arteries and veins of the cosmos.

Mother Nature: A System of Symmetry

Mother Nature has two sides that exist simultaneously and can be represented by a mathematical equation, as explained below:

Remarks:

1.  In Mother Nature, everything is impartial and infinitely interconnected.  It means that everything is a matrix of everything and that duality or multiplicity of circumstances would always exist in all things or matters, just as the ascent of one thing would mean the fall of another elsewhere, without exception. 
2.  Generally speaking, the mechanism of universal laws would always function in the context of absence, balance, and constant (ABC).  Consider the following equations: -
 
E = mc2 or E - mc2 = 0 or mc2 - E = 0,
A = B or A - B = 0 or B - A = 0.
 
3.  Typically, each existence consists of three basic elements, namely energy, matter, and space.  These elements would be subject to the cyclical influence of balances and imbalances.  The applicable principle: under balanced phenomena, the basic elements would intertwine through the process of aggregation, while they would dissociate through the processes of segregation under unbalanced phenomena. 
4.  During aggregation, certain information would be generated, stored, and recalled into the integrated elements.  This is critical for the evolution of consciousness in the dependent nature, as shown below:

.

Section 1: A Chain Of Balanced Activities
Balance à stability à aggregation à agitation à information à knowledge à representation à memory à compulsion à ignorance à blindness à disorientation à confusion à irrationality à impulse à sparkling à inkling à volition à awareness à consciousness à manas à mind and body à sensation à six sense bases à conductivity à contact à stimulation à feeling à experience à craving à grasping à clinging à unsettling à becoming à creation à birth à energising à mobility
 
Section 2: A Chain Of Imbalanced Activities
Mobility à hauling à aging à draining à death à fragility à segregation à diffusion à imbalance
 
Section 3: A Chain Of Balanced Activities
Imbalance à adjustment à alignment à new balance

5.  Ultimately, Mother Nature could be illustrated as a compass - an instrument used to point directions.  The needle of a compass is magnetised and always points toward the magnetic north in all circumstances.  In other words, it is the culmination of a system or a chain of events that essentially reveals a state of equilibrium (perceptible in the iterations of birth, life, death, and rebirth of things or events).

Rainbow Body: A Testament To The Formless Nature Of Form (Emptiness)
.

Tibetan Buddhism and the Bon tradition have a concept called the rainbow body, which represents a high degree of spiritual realisation.  When a skilled practitioner dies, their physical body becomes a “body of light” or five-coloured rainbow, and only their hair and nails remain.  In some cases, this transformation is manifested in the body shrinking, emitting light, and even disappearing altogether.

.

Having achieved this state is a demonstration of mastery over mind and matter, as well as the attainment of pure light and energy.  To be more specific, it represents the ultimate spiritual achievement, the attainment of enlightenment, and the practitioner's ascension from the physical body to a higher spiritual level.  Basically, Buddha’s nature exists within the innate faculty of all beings and things.  It’s just a matter of time before we discover such a reality through enlightenment.  

.

For a general understanding, the nature of Buddha may also be recognised as the black hole of emptiness, as shown in the following illustrations:

In summary, if mental consciousness were not present, duality or multiple circumstances would be hindered.  Subsequently, all phenomena would manifest in accordance with the deepest facts, which means without any labels, boundaries, names, activities, forms, or descriptions. This implies that the ultimate truth is beyond the mind, concepts, and words, as it is beyond our standard ways of viewing things.  A clear mind is capable of discerning the most profound facts about things or matters, like a lotus flower that breaks the surface of the water and blooms without being touched by the mud or soiled water of the pond.

Form Is Emptiness
