Just how simple is understanding energy?

My glass is half full from its weight! Blinded by it's potential only to its value in the dessert or at sea compared to a running brook or the fact that it may not be holding water, one of our most needed essential in life! Is water the negative or positive of our energy compared to sunlight and gravity of the earth, moon and stars in our lives? Do we need a meter to detect the powers of love or hate in the drain of the daily grind or is it our thoughts and movements that have the potential to change things moving more towards the positive side of natural forces? If a colored rock or well placed magnetic worn or carried in your pocket can turn your world or health (as you see it) around to a more positive movement as to being in balance with nature, just how simple is energy to understand? Having more seems to be more positive in this negative world of todays dollar but we all are indebted to our forefathers for the loan of our senses! Does energy levels get passed down through DNA as most of our good traits? Transfer is the key to the relations of energy factors but movement has to come from something happening first, good or bad, positive to negative or negative to positive! Is love just the affects left over from the first big bang and mis-translat-ed threw time in pictures of agreement between two forces as a metaphor? Is the shame we feel from doing or not doing evenly rated as potentials in energies? Do coins in your pockets drain your energy as to dollars or plastic?

    Some people who maintain or recapture their child-like qualities of awe and wonder, seem to possess a form of mental energy even as the body wanes.

    We are all tapped into a "philosophical power grid" - negative or positive. Both provide the energy to go on - to go on hating, complaining, grumbling... or, caring, being grateful, appreciative...

    "Rocks" have no energy to do anything, sometimes gravity tugs on them and they become animate for a while as they tumble down, but there is no life. We seem to possess something else, while still prisoners of gravity like rocks and other Earth-bound things, we are tapped into "power grids" which we may have difficult time defining, but they seem to involve the spiritual level not available to "rocks" and "wind" and such things. IMHO. -Pat

    From a material and intellectual stand point, difficult and complex. From a spiritual and non-material perspective it is easy, because one identifies with it.
