intelligent energy

[ColinT]

Perhaps the most crucial aspect of Ra's communications is the role played by terminology and basic semantics. You will understand this if you question - deeply - your own understanding of the word "energy". Everyone "knows what energy is". We have an energy industry. We've had the "energy crisis" and promise of more to come. You pay an energy (electricity) bill, so it surely is real - or is it?

If you go back to basic physics, energy is defined as the product of mass and momentum; more familiarly, mass and velocity or motion. Expressed as an equation using E for energy, m for mass and v for velocity, E equals a half of m times v squared:

E = 1/2 m v ^2;

The unit of energy is NOT a fundamental like mass (kilograms), time (seconds), distance (metres) etc. It is compound: one Joule (unit of energy) is one Newton-metre; a Newton is the unit of force, measured as kilogram-metres per second per second. To put it bluntly:

There is no such "thing" as energy. Energy is a concept - an idea in the mind - that is useful for expressing the relation between matter and motion.

The reasons that almost everybody today believes energy to be a "thing" are common usage, flawed education, and an inability to think independently.

So when Ra speak of "intelligent energy", they are accepting the common usage in an attempt to convey something that can only be apprehended intuitively.

I'm quite aware that you won't like this reply, nor consider it useful, at least initially. But if you ARE prepared to think for yourself - and this is hard, thankless work - you can arrive at an understanding of Ra's terminology.
