Look at it this way: without energy there would be no consciousness but energy does not need consciousness to exist. ( I have only be conscious for 40 something years but my Dad is living proof there was energy before me.)
I agree here! I do beleive consciousness needs energy to exist..
Without energy consciousness does not exist..
But energy can exist without consciousness..
have you ever walked into a room and felt the atmosphere (energy) after say someone has had an argument.. you just know it doesn't feel right..Or they have just been having a laugh and you feel a lightness in the air (the energy of a home.. It is without consciousness..
But does this say there are different types of energy out there?.. like the energy people use would be a different type of energy that surrounds us.. Is it contained once we have a body? I know we can feel really zapped and we need to recoup.. where does this extra energy come from? Or is it there the whole time trapped within our bodies.. and we just need to rest the body to enable to energy within to strengthen again? (recharge the batteries) Spirit is known to drain batteries.. Is this energy we use a form of electricity? Just straying with thoughts here..
For me to exist I need consciousness, we all have it in varying amounts.. and in varying ways..same as energy.. But we have both.
I think having consciouness is what separates us to being just energy .. Something projecting rather than being projected.. if you know what i mean.
Now ever since working with spirit I have come to recognise they also are energy and consciousness, Is consciousness our Soul? ..
To me it says we only lose the matter... So the concept our body is just our vehicle.. Really rings bells for me..
I do think we need both, not just one or the other..we are 'both' using each other to exist.. some of us with matter some of us without.
