LIFE ENERGY.

An interesting thought experiment...

Imagine a computer. All the parts of that computer individually, ranging from the CPU, motherboard to the graphics card. If you were to compare who you are to that computer, which part would you essentially be? Would you be the CPU? The motherboard? Think on that for a moment and follow your thought process.

What is it that powers the computer as a whole, what gives it life? Electricity. What if you are that electricity animating your body and mind? You are not the body or mind, but that which powers it. Where does that electricity come from? It is the product of a source of generation which sends the energy out through which it is then separated and focused into a single point. 

So if we used this electricity analogy when thinking about death, the life energy of a human being either leaves the body or dissipates like that of electricity when the power is turned off. I suppose the electricity is consumed by the process of powering the compliance. Maybe the life energy of a human being fades out with age in a similar way.

So we think of ourselves as individuals? Yet the energy that animates us, which essentially is us, has no clear distinctive features in its separated parts and is always connected to the generative source. All electricity is the same and so all life energy is the same. It permeates everything alive and connects to the same source. Interesting indeed.

But what about reality or life as a whole, inanimate objects included? Why is this all here? These are deep philosophical questions and ones that have fascinated the human race since the dawn of our species (Sounds like a line from Star Trek)!

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
