Energism - My own personal religion, and explained

[Star]

I was Agnostic, but after a long extended period of time in deep-thinking, I have determined that believing in energy is the only thing that makes sense to me. I know you may be thinking, "how do you figure energy is worth believing in?" Well, I'll explain.

Everyone and everything in the universe that is living, has a form of energy that it contains and emits. Whenever you die, your body and brain shut down, however, the energy you obtained becomes one with the planet. That energy is used to supplement the Earth in the growing of trees, food, etc. The Earth will continue feeding off that energy for the rest of eternity.

Energy is the only thing that is factual in terms of what everything in the planet has in common. People, animals, plants and even water have energy supplied within. Have you ever been in a room, and had a feeling that someone was staring at you, then you look up, and someone that isn't even in your actual range of vision is staring at you? Have you ever felt fear, happiness, sadness? Have you ever felt pain, comfort or discomfort? No one can deny that they've felt any of these, those are all due to the energy being emitted from other organisms.

The one thing ensured in terms of energy, is that it will last forever. Even if the planet is destroyed due to a global tragedy, the energy will always be there.

I believe in a God, I just don't believe the God is what everyone visualizes it to be. I believe Energy is the real God, eternal, powerful and real. Every question about anything in the universe can be compacted down to be relative to Energy. This is what I feel about all of this. I'm not trying to convert anyone's beliefs or even doubt anyone's morals. This is strictly my personal feelings in terms of "religion."

Feel free to discuss your opinion on this subject.

Interesting perspective. I'm usually all for these types of alternate philosophies, but I can't really seem to grasp the depth of worshipping energy (okay, maybe you don't worship it). It just seems a little vague or incomplete.

[Numb]

Agreed with Z.

The only way I think that I could cope with this form of religion is by somehow believing that God has no form. That he is just an infinite amount of energy. So, I like your belief. I just can't see myself completely converting to it.

It would be a fairly accurate description of our universe as we have observed it and since it is all natural and not any theory, I would not see any real need for belief, worship, or including a God. You are in my eyes, an atheist. You say you believe in God, but you defy the standard definition of God being supernatural or preternatural, since energy is none of that.

I simply ask, why does God need to come in to the picture? Does it not suffice to say that everything is created by energy and that everything consists of energy instead of saying that God is energy, therefore God exists and has created everything / exists in everything.

Star, I think you should take a look at my thread about Thoughtforms. You may like the ideology.

Upon energy, we share roughly the same beliefs. It's simply what makes sense.

[Lycaon]

Star,I agree with your belief. I've believed in that same thing a while now It seems logical to me anyway...

[Compulsion]

I think that this is amazing! You're thinking outside of the box, and you're believing in something that truly makes sense to you. Sure it may be a bit incomplete right now, but you never know that status of Energism in 10 years from now.

My explanation to that is, God is known to be able to create anything and cause anything to happen positively or negatively. Energy is what makes everything what it is, without energy, trees wouldn't move, provide air, etc. (you should understand)
Positive and Negative energy from person to person determines their outlook, attitude, emotion, etc.

I don't label myself as an Atheist, as I do believe in something that brings life to the masses, however, as stated, I believe energy is the only thing that justifies reasonable belief.

I will view your thread in the morning, I have great respect for those with a unique mindset that follow the same type of understanding as myself.

In terms of completing this belief, theory or whichever you would like to label it, it will never be complete. Energies are created and destroyed everyday, and are constantly changing. Even if you thought you discovered everything there is to know about it, you will never truly be able to uncover every element of the concept.
