> Energy has no feelings, no conscience, no self

> Where did you get that idea?

It is not an idea that one needs to have given to them. It is the simple conclusion of known physics. However, the claim that "energy has consciousness" is a non-obvious idea, which can't be derived from the evidence and mathematics we use to describe the universe. It should be supported if you believe it. It would be an important learning about the universe. That, or you're redefining "energy" as "any system that contains energy," (including a human being, which very few would define as "pure energy").

Is there any meaning to this position you're taking? Does it support predictions about the world? Does it change how you think about the world?
