-: This idea that "Everything is Energy"
is the foundation to every energy program
that I have studied.
And, in fact, this concept that "Everything is Energy"
it's what motivated me to start my journey
towards energetic wholeness.
For me, it started almost 20 years ago
when I was in graduate school for engineering
and I became an avid reader
about the "Theory of Everything".
So this is where my journey started into the energy world.
So I thought it would be a good place to start the course.
Now, when we say "Everything is Energy",
what we mean is
"Everything is Energy".
Our bodies are energy,
our voice and our words are energy,
our thoughts are energy,
our emotions are energy.
Look up and look around.
Everything that you see
is energy.
And when you shift your perspective to orient yourself
and your experiences around this idea
that "Everything is Energy",
the door to the energy world
and all of its infinite possibilities and miracles
can really open up for you.
This concept is so important that I actually thought, well,
I'm just going to stop the course right here.
"Everything is Energy".
That's all you need to know.
Go out, go out and live the world, the world of energy.
We're obviously not going to do that.
But my point is that sometimes
we over-complicate things
when we talk about energy.
But if we all just took a minute to stop
and again, look up and look around
and see everything as energy,
our natural, energetic slows,
and our natural state of energetic wholeness
can come into being much more easily.
So in this course, we're going to do a deep dive
into this idea that "Everything is Energy".
So, what is energy?
What is this energy that we're talking about?
The secret is we actually don't really know what energy is.
I can tell you what it's not.
So we're not talking about energy in the traditional,
potential energy and kinetic energy forms
that were taught to us in classical physics and chemistry.
We're also not talking about energy
in terms of electricity and power.
We're also not talking about energy
in terms of vitality, meaning,
hey, I have energy, I'm going to go run a mile.
Although energy, the way that we talk about it,
is certainly related to vitality,
but that's not what we're talking about.
What we do know is that there is a reference
to energy in almost every culture and religion
around the world.
And it's referenced as something that is part of us
but intangible, and plays a big role in our existence.
So, "Everything is Energy"
and from the ancient shamanic and Eastern traditions,
all the way to modern quantum science,
we've been talking that "Everything is Energy"
for a very long time.
The other thing that we do know
through these cross-cultural references
is that we, all living things,
have a unique energy inside of them.
We call it many different things depending on where we are.
We call it our life force energy,
our original essence energy,
our soul, our spirit,
our chi,
our prana,
our vityana,
our elan vital.
There's so many references to this idea
that "Everything is Energy", and we have
our own unique life force energy.
And this is the basis upon which
everything in this course is based.
In May 2021, we had a conversation
on Clubhouse
called "What is energy anyway?"
and we brought people from all over the world
and we came together for hours.
And we talked about "what does energy mean to you?"
And "what is energy that we're talking about?"
We had people from India and the Philippines
and the States, and Europe.
We had people from all cultures and religions
come together at one table
to talk about what energy meant to them.
And this really helps to put some structure
around this idea
that "Everything is Energy".
So let's take a look and see what they said.
In our global conversation about "What is energy, anyway?"
people told us what words come to their minds
when they think about their life force energy.
And these were words anywhere
from a very scientific standpoint,
like frequency and vibration
particles,
quantum,
multi-dimensional.
They also came up with words that were
a little bit more qualitative in nature,
like divinity.
There was a very strong and passionate voice
in this conversation
and many voices that talked about energy
as being God
or as being divinity
or as being love.
People also talked about their energy
in terms of light,
information,
awareness,
wisdom,
joy,
communication,
and exchange.
So you can see when we talk
about using our energy
to live more easily in our lives,
we're talking about something
that is not easily defined by our words.
And in fact,
as we will talk about many times in this program,
energy is really something that needs to be experienced.
And we do try to put words around it,
but we also need to come to accept the fact
that maybe we can't quite explain exactly what it is
using the words and the tools that we have
available to us in this moment.
Throughout this course, in every module that follows,
we will do a video called "Everything is Energy."
And in each of those videos,
we will dive into one of these aspects that you see here.
So we'll talk about energy as frequency and vibration.
We'll talk about it as light and information.
We'll talk about quantum physics
and entanglement of particles.
And we'll also talk about energy as divinity, as love,
as awareness, as an inherent wisdom.
And we'll talk about it a little bit more abstractly
as infinite potential.
So I hope you enjoy
these will be little micro learning videos
to kind of get us warmed up and started in each module.
And I hope that you enjoy them.
