> This is an important post because it highlights both the inadequacies and the deceptiveness of language. In the first statement you equate God with "energy". We all know that energy exists and is everywhere, and so the temptation (I'm sure this was not your intention) is to regard this as some kind of proof that God exists and is everywhere. My response was meant to indicate that energy means energy, and without attributes the word "God" then becomes meaningless. In your latest reply you have changed the term to "universal intelligence", which is intelligent by definition. But energy is not intelligent by definition, and so you cannot equate a UI/ God with energy. (I agree with you that IF there is a UI, we will have a great deal in common with it.)-I think we are talking across each other: Principal thoughts are: matter is energy on the outside and mind is energy on the inside. The UI is pure energy 'organized' into intellect. My intellect is not my brain, which looks and feels like fatty jello. God is the UI, organized energy. Yes energy is not intelligent unless it is organized into an intellectual mind. God isthat universal mind. Any old energy, the way you appproach it, is avaikable anywhere. Rub your TV screen, get static sparks. We are not discussing at that level.
