Forms of Energy
(Transcendent use of the phrase “form of energy”)

The compassionate man (human being) comprehends that we are all information beings. We are formations existing as finite, dynamic balances amidst the continuous transformation, informing all even as we are informed by all the other countless, myriad, possible formations or “forms of energy”.
We paradoxically are being transformed even as we transform all according to the principles of physics, the premier principle being the Conservation of Energy Principle.

Billions of years in a moment. Even with the aid of the most sophisticated sense-enhancing technology known to man, no human being can imagine the energy, the vast array of possible forms existing in this tiny glimpse into a trace element of the firmament, the universal formation, the continuous universal transformation.

The Conservation of Energy Principle.
(A Compassionate Definition)

The most transcendent definition of energy is that it is the universal potential, all of which is active. It is action. It is change. It is continuous transformation
The most transcendent statement of the Conservation of Energy Principle in this context is the following:

Energy, being the universal transformation, continuously changes all forms and is so bounteous it can usefully be called a constant.

In other words, paradoxically
(1) energy is all forms though no form is energy
and
(2) transformation (change) is a universal constant.

As with all forms, a human being is a finite form of energy, that is a transient balance of information amidst the universal transformation.
In other words, we are mortal, moral beings, a situation made complex and often very difficult by the fact that every self-aware decision we make involves the incredible, ingenious self-deceits of the ego. This is compounded by the limitations of the thought process to transcend paradox.

Indeed paradox is an anathema to the ego, the exclusive force from which our vanity, arrogance and delusional hopes arises in our psyche

For instance, we can use a transcendent word like “form”, which is both a noun and a verb, yet the ego has us struggle to simultaneously imagine “the acted upon” with “the action”.
The noun is the perceived form that is acted upon whereas the verb is the forming of the personal perception.

A picture can communicate paradox in ways words cannot. Even then, it fails to communicate the paradox we experience when we actually form a shape with our hands.

Note: the word “act”, like “form” is also a transcendent word, being both a noun and a verb. Both form the active part of vital words informing our communication about our actual, formative relationship with energy e.g. “active”, “action” and “information”, transformation”.

The ego would have us resolve the seeming confusion of “form” and “perception” pictured above by using the word “form” in most exclusive ways while denying the informative role of our perception in how matter is manifest.

Hence the psychopathic phenomenon of the US Energy Information Administration providing the following “explainer”:

Screenshot of EIA definition of “form of energy”.
The six “forms of energy” named here are more aptly understood as six perspectives or ways of seeing existence. The universal potential is manifest in myriad ways. These are but six of them, each of them informing the other – often in very sustaining ways when we employ them with compassion.

The folk at the EIA exclude the trillions of forms of energy that are manifest to us. They also exclude the countless googols of forms of energy existing beyond our perception, which the EIA describe as inactive.
Their exclusive notion of a “form of energy” effectively destroys the English language’s capacity to communicate a science of energy and our ability to develop true civilization.

Perceptions and Formations
(True Hope of Physics)

Compassion reminds us we are information beings amidst the universal transformation and such extreme exclusive, delusional language is indicative of an ego-driven culture that fatally estranged from reality. The EIA conflates “perception” with “form” in a hopeless way.

With compassion, we are better able to embrace the principles of physics, which remind us in the interconnection of all paradox of information.
With compassion we are better able to transcend these paradox – especially the paradoxical reality that any form is informed by all possible forms even as it informs them all.

Accordingly how we perceive the universal potential determines how it is manifest in our lives and this is determined by how in accord our language~behaviour is with the principles of energy. We cannot simply “will” the universal potential to deliver what the ego would have us crave.

Our perceptual relationship with energy (the universal potential) is summed in the statement Power = Energy/Time with our sense of time being the vital variable in the equation. And always our self-sense of time is subject to the exclusive (divisive), acquisitive force of the ego…

The paradox of information means that ultimately means we can perceive the power of any formation in terms of any other formation whether it be a subatomic particle, a drop of water or a galaxy. Ultimately, if we were as eternal as the universe, we could perceive the universe in and through any form.

We live the paradox of perception~perceiving, which ultimately means we can perceive the power of any formation in terms of any other formation. Ultimately we can perceive the universe in and through any form. Perhaps no one alluded to this reality better in the English language than William Blake (1757-1827)

William Blake paints Isaac Newtown crouched over at the bottom of the black ocean obsessed with measuring, dissecting and abstracting existence, completely out of touch with reality. Blake believes the prevailing obsession with reason and rationality is psychotic and unsustainable at both the individual and societal level.

Blake is living through the advent of the English Combustion Revolution (aka the English Industrial Revolution), which is now two centuries later impacting the whole surface of planet Earth in a catastrophic way. Its brutality, pollution and general horrors were already becoming apparent in Britain by the 1800s.

Blake clearly understood the vital role of true perception, the psychopathy of the ego and how, without compassion, men’s behaviour becomes exclusive, arrogant, acquisitive and delusional.

Blake writes in his poem “Auguries of Innocence” the following great verse:

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour

This is one of the few lines of poetry most of us can recall from our English school days and it is probably the most likely to come to mind during miraculous moments, such as watching a young child inquiring and marveling in timeless way at some tiny speck in the pavement or garden.

We still sense the truth of his verse despite the endeavours of our “Science” and “Physics” teachers in our Anglo media to suppress it.

We sense we can better know all things when we observe them from a multitude of perspectives.
For instance, we can understand our human formation as an electrical being, as a thermal being, as a gravitational being, as a light being, as a kinetic being and as all manner of other potential being. Each different perspective enables us to potentially enjoy greater sustaining potential when we employ its insights with compassion.

Summary Wisdom of The Conservation of Energy Principle

There are countless, myriad possible forms of energy.

Any form of energy is continuously being transformed even as it transforms all others.

If we know the power (Power = Energy/Time) of a form of energy (e.g. atomic power, antpower, man power, horse power, our sunspower ), we can usefully employ it as a measure to evaluate the power of any other formation of energy.

Every form of energy is unique and it should be named according to its unique characteristics.

We live the paradox of energy~~transformation: All forms are of energy; no form is energy.*

*Note re Delusional Hope of Physics such as the equation “Energy = Power = Fossil Fuel.
The confusion and conflation of any formation with energy results in obsessive, delusional behaviour involving fearful, arrogant, wasteful and polluting uses of that form of energy. All forms of energy are infinite and such delusional behaviour inevitably generates suicidal sensations of deprivation, desperation, alienation and violence resulting in self-destruction.
There are countless forms of energy and we confuse energy with any particular form at our peril.

True hope of physics.
