GPJ: Matter is a special form of energy. E = m.c^2. Energy is the more basic concept. Of course I am referring here to the measurable energy defined by physicists, not the imaginary "energy" or "chi" referred to by new ageists. - Ch'i has been around for much longer than new age thinking. It is one of the older units of measurements of energy recorded in Chinese writing. New ageists are not the only ones to use the term ch'i, just as Christians are not the only ones to use the term spirit, or physicists the only ones to use the term energy. But far from being imaginary, ch'i represents wind or breath, which can be measured by physicists. I'm sure you know this but just thought I would mention it.
