Lol............ i agree with Always Good ....we both are top contributors because of others brain .



Knowledgeable people of today speak of the power-current in humans as the "spiritual energy force".



The spiritual energy or vital force exists in and about all things created by God.



It is found in every human being, in every animal, in every plant, in every stone, in every mineral, in all water, in every star, in every spirit and in all other existing things.



It is nothing material, but is spiritual and is always associated with a spirit.



It is the vital force of the spirit, which is always its conveyor.



Wherever there is life, there is this force, and wherever there is this force, there also is a spirit.



Since this spiritual energy exists in and about all things created by God and is always associated with a spirit, it follows that every created thing harbors a spirit.

Though I answer you quoting some other links, but those may not be "suitable" to your taste. Hence the above.



Edit::--_Actually in AruNagirinathar's Thirupugazh on Thiruvaalangaadu Murugan, he mentioned all these things, but as I know about you, I have not given them here. Thiruvaalangaadu is near Arakkonam, where it is believed Lord Shiva defeated Goddess Kaali in the Dance competition and where Kaaraikkaal Ammaiyaar attained Moksha.

I believe, only energy of consciousness and awareness is spiritual,



I consider all forms of other energies listed by you as materialistic energies ,

because these produce results in or influence only the materialistic world,



though I think, every form of energy is dual in nature,

it behaves as material at the temporary or visible end

and as energy at the permanent or the invisible end.

human energy is spiritual and u said right about material

energy and matter are just different states of the same thing. If matter is material, so is energy.

I agree,energy creates material & material creates energy .... but how did it all begin?

Funny, but I think that neither scientific nor religious questions can be decided by a poll.

The answer is given by the least knowledgeable, apparent Top Contributor (so called Top Contributor at this moment).



वाचक दोष: क्षन्तव्य: (Vachaka doshah kshantavyah). Pardon if anything is not acceptable.



Energy is prakrutha in micro level and Energy is aprakrutha in Macro level!



1) Universal Level:



Energy is prakrutha!



The mass and energy are interrelated.



Cosmic Level deals with the type of energy that exists here in this material world - electrical, mechanical, thermal, kinetic, gravitational, potential, magnetic etc



One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.



For example, consider a simple hydrogen atom, basically composed of a single proton. This subatomic particle has a mass of

0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 001 672 kg



This is a tiny mass indeed. But in everyday quantities of matter there are a lot of atoms! For instance, in one kilogram of pure water, the mass of hydrogen atoms amounts to just slightly more than 111 grams, or 0.111 kg.



Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy this mass would be equivalent to, if it were all suddenly turned into energy. It says that to find the energy, you multiply the mass by the square of the speed of light, this number being 300,000,000 meters per second (a very large number):



= 0.111 x 300,000,000 x 300,000,000

= 10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules



This is an incredible amount of energy! A Joule is not a large unit of energy ... one Joule is about the energy released when you drop a textbook to the floor. But the amount of energy in 30 grams of hydrogen atoms is equivalent to burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline!



The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that explains the early development of the Universe.



2) Cosmic Level and Beyond:



Energy is aprakrutha:



अप्रकृत aprakRta adj. not belonging to the matter



(i) Abheda, Bheda and Ghataka Srutis:



Paramatma - Cosmic energy - Eswara



Jivatma - local Energy - Chit



Materials - Achit



The Abheda Sruthis seems to state that the universe (all chit and achit entities) and the Brahman are one and the same. They seem to convey the identity of the universe and the Brahman.



"Tat Tvam Asi" seems to tell that the Jeevaatman (Chit) and the Brahman (Iswara) are one and the same.



The Bhedha Sruthis seems to categorically declare the difference between the Brahman and the universe.



"Pradhaana Kshetragjnya pathir gunesha:" means that Iswara is the Lord is of Achit and Chit, and Iswara is with divine qualities namely Power, Strength, Lordship, Firmness, Knowledge and Glory which are beyond the reach of all words and sense organs.



The Ghataka Sruthi synchronizes the above two types of sruthis and resolves the apparent contradiction in the above mentioned two types of Sruthis.



The Ghataka Sruthi declares that the Brahman is the inner controler (Antaryaamin - Aatma) Soul present inside all chit and achit entities and all chit and achit entities are the body (Sareeram) of Brahman. This Sareera-atma Bhaavam (body-soul) relationship between the universe and the Brahman is conveyed by the "Ghataka Sruthi" This makes it clear that both the Abheda and Bheda sruthis convey the same meaning without any contradiction.



(ii) Taittiriya Upanishad - Anandavalli:



One unit of Brahman ananda is equal to,10 power 20 times of the Unit-Bliss from all the wealth in the world.



The Material Bliss from all the wealth in the world is insignificant to the Spiritual Bliss (Brahman ananda, The Cosmic Energy).
