Is God An Energy?

I have been pondering lately the idea that God is energy. Now, of course God is energy. But, somehow lately I have begun to see this fact in a new way. I think all matter is a creation of God. So, why wouldn't I see God as an energy? Well, lately it seems there is a secret bit of God that is inside of me-and you-just waiting for us to explore.
So, what I have been pondering is-why would spirit be within us but not just freely flowing in a manner that we can easily access it. Why would God exist as a spiral of energy at the base of your root chakra just waiting to be released. I think my real question is-why not have this bundle of energy so talkative and loud that everyone feels it, knows it and works to achieve it? So many just walk around blindly not realizing their full potential. Why?

If you replace the word "god" with "myself" we would have a better conversation. It's not matter of divinity inside me and you- it's a matter of developing our own character and finding strength in ourselves and those around us.
I'm not of the mind that people's greatest qualities are given to us by some magical being. I'm of the mind that people deserve their own credit when they realize their full potential.
Maybe some people who are walking around blindly are waiting for the energy to find them instead of creating the energy for themselves. Because that is where the energy is coming from: us.
Peace
JenEverything in the non-physical world is energy. Energy never dies but your physical body does.
I don't believe in a god but I believe in a powerful energy that runs the Universe.
Scientist and physicists are opening up a whole new view of the Universe with energy. Something as small as an electron can anticipate your thoughts. Your thoughts are energy. How weird is that?- 82

I really believe in self-empowerment. And, I believe we are the creators (for the most part) of our lives. But....what about the parctice of Kunalini rising energy? The energy that exists within our own bodies. Itis within us but also aligned and connected with other forms of universal energies that some see as god. When we realize and release this energy we become more spiritually awakened. We become changed. Why?

I'd love helping you feel a bit of God inside...
Anyway, the idea of God equivalent to Energy is appealing.
I think we can say without fear of being mistaken that ALL is Energy.
So, if God is ALL, God is Energy like us.
There was a hubber who said : God is a sinus wave.
This joins what you said.
And is much more attractive than quoting scriptures.

They say (they being some modern physicists) that if you look closely enough at the most basic structure of particles that everything is in fact energy and in motion. Electrons and protons are merely differently charged concentrations of energy. They go on further to say that this energy is common to all and in all. I think it is more plausible to think of an originating source of energy that is in us all and unites all the universe then to picture an old man in a long beard sitting on a cloud in Heaven.
Jesus repeatedly remarked that the kingdom of heaven as well as God were to be found in us not separate from us. Heaven was in essence not a place but a way of existing. As soon as I say all this though I know there are those who will no doubt have some issue with it on both sides. Oh well.- 93

This is a completely rational thought that provides for spirituality AND reality. There is no contradiction of established science, no attempt to validate centuries-old mythology.
No issues from this atheist!

I have pondered this often. What really adds fuel to the fire is to think that could be an intelligence associated with this energy.

No issues from this atheist!I think if I ever were to really expand on my notions of God, creation, science and the Universe, I'd have people on both sides in a fit. I was once told my mind had wandered so far off the map that search parties had given up. I believe that the basic tenants of both sides fall far to short in providing an all encompassing explanation. At that point I think it falls to the individual to immerse themselves in every available data both secular and religious, and through filtering and internalization to come to a conclusion based on what they have learned.
Finally it is important to remain flexible and open to new information as it develops. By this we can grow and further expand as time goes by. Rigid belief is stagnation. - 93

This is also a theory being explored and has been given a boost by recent experiments in Russia given the nickname the Phantom Effect, in which particles in a vacuum were exposed to DNA and grouped around the sample, maintaining their formation even after the DNA was removed. The point being that simple electrons respond to the presence of organic matter, for no understandable reason as of yet.

As soon as you give this a name "god" and tell me it sent it's one and only son "jesus" to save the us from the sin we were born into - but only if I do as you say. Then we have a problem Houston.
And what is also logical is that we came first - the "energy" later.Shealy Healy wrote:

GOD is what is, what was, and what is to come. GOD is beyond energy, and any comprehensible human definition. You're right, GOD created all matter, but it doesn't necessarily mean that matter is GOD. It could mean that, but only GOD really knows. As a finite human example, If I make a great cake, it doesn't mean that I am part of the cake as well.
And nobody pull out the first Law of Thermodynamics card either, unless you can prove where the first energy came from.- 35

The energy is there for you to connect to any time you wish.
No "intelligence" no "rules" no "wrong" or "right" it just "is" - 35

You prove me wrong with science or mathematics then.

Rigid belief is stagnation.I married a non-practicing christian. We had an outdoor ceremony (no church) presided by a methodist minister (not catholic, lutheran, episcopalian, or god-free).
Not one single person was happy with this choice including myself. But I made that choice because if I had favored one religion or tradition, all the others would have felt even more unhappy I think.
Note: it was a wonderful ceremony, after the fact every person was smiling.
What you are saying here made me remember this, because I do believe that when everybody is unhappy, the right choice was made. If everybody disagrees with you, that can only be a good thing.
Back to the point: in my case, it's the rigid belief that gets me upset, not the search for spirituality. Scott.Life wrote:

From a scientific point you would be correct, but I say energy is limited by GOD, as is everything else. You're right I am placing limits, where GOD is concerned there are limits or infinity. It's his choice.

No "intelligence" no "rules" no "wrong" or "right" it just "is" I am happy with I don't know yet. But it is very fasinating.
