The Science, Part Three
An attribute of conscious-energy is an
ability to be conscious of, and that can happen whether manifested via a space
called a “plant,” a “bird,” a “human,” an “animal,” etc. Another attribute of conscious-energy is, if not manifested, the potential to possibly manifest and then be conscious of.
Too often this is not understood:
consciousness is, whether it is conscious of itself or not, yet it must be
conscious of something to be deemed "consciousness."
What does conscious-of-ness via a form of manifested energy involve?
To understand, consider the functioning of the subatomic particles of an atom: One attribute of the subatomic particles at the core of atoms—the electrons, protons and neutrons—is that they are conscious of each other and function spontaneously in certain ways in relationship to each other . . . as do atoms as well.
Electrons are conscious of a nucleus and swirl around it as if the two are dancing some subatomic dance together that is resulting from their “magnetic attraction” to each other.
[The notion of manifested consciousness (that the natural way for humans to behave when the consciousness is manifested via a “human space”) is to relate, to interact, to bond, and to break bonds, etc.
All of that is initially subatomic in its nature, but the natural way of abidance ends after humans become exposed to ignorant and insane and unnatural programming, conditioning, etc. and after humans become exposed to ignorant and insane and supposedly supernatural ("spiritual") programming, conditioning, etc.]
The natural way happens automatically and spontaneously, and when that occurs, the way remains all natural. No one teaches the electron to revolve around the nucleus . . . it’s natural.
No one need teach humans to be “attracted to” each other; no one needs to teach a human to masturbate; no one needs to teach humans or birds or mammals to fornicate. It all happens naturally and is understood - without any "thinking" or "study" - via the manifested consciousness.
NOTE: Only the bastardized “mind” (filled with all of its dualistic nonsense and the arrogant belief among persons that they have the right to manage the conduct of other humans and to control the bodies of others) will teach persons that it is unnatural to do what is natural:
“Our dogma teaches that you can be supernatural (that is, super spiritual) only if you do not do what is natural, because we believe that some natural things are actually unnatural and dirty and taboo! Bad boy! Bad girl! Feel the guilt! Feel the anxiety our teachings generate! Wallow in it! Let it paralyze you! Allow it to make you stop abiding naturally! Instead, abide unnaturally and supernaturally! That's our goal!”
Such dogmatic teachings provide an excellent example of how persons can be stripped of logic, how the consciousness can be programmed and corrupted, and how persons will end up behaving as fools if they unquestioningly listen to persons who have assumed position of “authority.”
Are you seeing how asleep persons are when programmed by their political and religious and spiritual “leaders”? They can actually be taught that something which is completely natural is unnatural; they will then believe that something which is natural is unnatural, and then they will try their best thereafter to avoid behaving naturally.
And in that process, they will be convinced that they are pleasing some supernatural entity by unnaturally avoiding the natural.
That kind of learned ignorance, which bastardizes the consciousness and which thrives on blind faith, can produce either a nation of repressed, uptight and hypocritical persons or “an army of god” whose members are masochistic, sadistic, and suicidal. Such is the relative existence toll of corrupted consciousness and duality . . . and the subsequent unawareness of awareness.
Now, note the other ways by which electrons reveal that they are conscious of: they can play a role in establishing chemical bonds, “A” being conscious of “B” and bonding with it. An ion from one atom can be transferred to another atom as all involved are conscious of each other.
Electrons can also be shared between two or more atoms, so an electron in one atom can be conscious of other atoms, can interact with them, and can bond with them. (Yet the “not two” remains valid since this is all about energy / matter.)
Is any “one” directing an electron’s behavior or orchestrating the way it conducts itself in relation to other particles about it? Of course not. Is consciousness present? Obviously. An electron can be conscious of an object (such as, in this example, the nucleus around which it is spinning).
Is any “one” present within the atomic substructure to be conscious of a subatomic particle’s consciousness of other particles? No. Even though no “one” is present to be conscious of consciousness, is consciousness present and functioning nevertheless? Obviously, yes.
At this very moment, there is a field of energy which can be called “the Absolute” in which whatever is happening is happening even without any "self"-consciousness or any "self" or "Self" to be conscious of. Take that “pool” of energy to be a “field” of energy or a “system” of energy.
It doesn’t matter what term is used to point to that field, but know that it is limitless and infinite and boundless and omnipresent. Understand that transferences of energy can and do happen between a “system” of energy and adjacent regions and understand that energy can also undergo transformations.
Thus, energy moves in wave-or-particle-form “into” the field, moves throughout the field, and (sometimes) moves “out of” the field and manifests. (“Out of” is in quote marks since the “field” is all-pervasive.)
In the meantime, the consciousness is still consciousness and is still conscious of, even though it is not conscious of itself when not manifested in some space with a nervous system. Compare that to the manner in which consciousness functions as it operates a heart and lungs even during an “unconscious” state of sleep.
“You” are not conscious of “your self,” but the consciousness is conscious of. Any duality-based notions of a "you" or a “You” are not or a “yourself” are taught and learned ave to truth to them at all.
at manner in which consciousness functions as it operates a heart and lungs even during an “unconscious” state of sleep is a natural function and is not taught and not learned. AS IF living happens exactly like that. Peace (or the ability to respond wisely every day to non-peaceful happenings) can only come like that, too.
Also, see the examples on planet earth of such energy transferences and energy transformations: sunlight can strikes a human in a non-usable form, but if it strikes a plant, then the process of photosynthesis will transform that energy into a form that is usable by humans. Plant cells can be consumed and converted into human cells.
That “transference” and “transformation” process can trigger the manifestation of conscious-energy and can facilitate the continuing manifestation of consciousness until one takes mahasamadhi.
The ability of energy to undergo transformation and transference sets the stage for (a) a plant to transform energy which (b) can be consumed and can thus (c) be transferred and transformed within a human space.
The claim “we are what we eat,” however, is only true to the degree that it makes clear that the body is a plant food body, though the body is not “what the supposed ‘we’ truly is.”

THE EXPLANATION
Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:
"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
"There is no hell."
