What is Energy?
A current scientific definition of energy may include statements like 'the ability to do work', or 'energy cannot be created or destroyed, but transfers from one form to another'. At AYA, we believe that evidence will emerge soon of many more interesting properties of energy, leading to a greater understanding of its core nature.
Everything is energy. Everything in the physical universe around you, including you, is made of energy. The whole universe is one huge energy field with lots of different types of energy, all moving and vibrating at different speeds and concentrations. The building blocks of everything is what we call energy but how that energy is arranged is what decides how the energy looks and acts. An easy way to think of this is using the analogy of buildings. A cathedral and a school can be made of the same bricks but they look completely different and they function in completely different ways.
Energy moves in cycles of creation and absorption and when it is created, it is created with a separation to it. We call this positive and negative separation, which has nothing to do with good and bad but relates to electrical charge. An important feature of energy is that it is always trying to remove its separation to become unified because when it gets rid of its charge - and becomes unified, it becomes absorbed back into its source (what scientist currently call annihilation into nothing).
The type of energy that you are probably most familiar with is what we call material energy. We call it material energy because it is commonly called matter (everything that has mass). Material energy has the lowest level of vibrational frequency because the separation has become permanent (which scientists currently call electrons and protons/quarks). The highest frequency of vibration of energy is empty space. Yes, empty space is not actually empty, it is a type of energy which is vibrating at a tremendously fast rate (quantum physicists call this vacuum energy or zero point energy). These two energies are at opposite ends of the energy frequency spectrum.
In between these two extremes exists a huge multitude of different types of energy, all vibrating at different rates and concentrations. A large proportion of these energies on the energy spectrum fall under the category of 'subtle energy', or sometimes called subtle magnetic energy because that is exactly what subtle energy is - a magnetic field. Magnetic fields can exist in different strengths and our current scientific instruments can only detect very strong magnetic fields. There are actually many types of very weak magnetic fields as yet undiscovered by science and some of these fields have evolved the ability to hold structure. In the same way that matter can clearly hold structure (atoms and molecules), weak magnetic fields can also hold structure. This is how it is possible that we have a whole side to our very own biology called 'subtle energy anatomy and physiology' that has so far been undetected by science. This is starting to change however with the new emerging science of quantum biology.
One of the most important concepts that exists in the universe is the concept of the universal trinity. The universal trinity describes the cycle of creation and absorption which is the beating heart of the universe itself. It is a cycle which is repeated throughout the universe at all levels, from the largest (great universal cycle - the creation and absorption of the whole universe), to the smallest (creation and absorption of energy bubbles in vacuum energy). It also describes how the universe comes to be an Aware/Conscious universe through the process of creation of akashic information by a non-physical Source, the manifestation of the physical universe made of energy from the mirror image of that information, and absorption of energy back into the non-physical Source (which creates the sensation of Awareness in the Source). It sounds complicated at first but understanding will quickly grow as these new concepts are grasped.
The universal trinity can be shown as a diagram or a formula. This is only a brief introduction and we go into this concept in great detail in AYA Education.
