Re: ALL is Spiritual
It's been said that ALL is Spiritual...
That matter is just slowed down Spirit...
What do you all think about this?
You're equating "spirit" with "energy." Energy is what makes molecules vibrate, and the frequency of vibration determines whether we can see them, among other things. I think we could spend a lot of time talking about what we mean by spirit - and even then we might not wind up on the same page.
I think that the most accurate way to envision reality in all its infinitude (obviously impossible to visualize fully but can be experienced directly in part) is to think of it as an infinite, multidimensional matrix of vibrating energy. Both space and time are meaningless outside a pretty narrow set of paradigms, and all that we can detect with our senses and our technology lies within an infinitesimally tiny section of bandwidth on the divine spectrum. Somewhere outside of, or on the fringes of what we are able to detect lies the world of spirit. And since we can't detect it in any reliable, repeatable, measurable way, we can't prove it even exists. Of course, those who are able to enter this realm know perfectly well that it exists.
The ultimate source of the entire matrix is what's traditionally been called God in Western culture - it's just a name, and there are plenty of others. "God" doesn't care what you call "him." "He" knows how bound we are by conventional patterns. Matter, energy, yes it's all spirit, but that too is just a name. It implies intelligence and volition and carries an aura or sacredness, but I don't know how to define what it is in words that everyone (or anyone!) would agree with.
