The Energy of New Forms of Energy

So first of we get something straight: there is no separation between spiritual and physical. Second, energy is the same no matter what form it is in. Therefore it must flow and not be restricted. Is it then possible that when we consider the various types of energy resources-such as wind, water, and solar power; oil, coal, and natural gas; and even wood used for heating-that the same principle applies?

The restriction in these cases would be when a resource is limited to specific users and not mad available to all. When one country, or one state, or one supplier controls an energy source for its own use, whether through greed, or fear, or desire for power, the flow is restricted and outcome of this, rather than being beneficial, is anger and fear of being deprived, which often leads to war. Thus countries, including our own, have used these natural resources in power struggles in which a few benefit and many are left with little or nothing.

So let us see a new Earth right now. See the sun and wind bringing low-cost energy throughout the world to everyone See water flowing, clean and unrestricted, to make crops flourish everywhere and to provide pure drinking water. See fuel resources being produced cleanly and efficiently, and shared where needed. See consumers of fuel finding better ways to provide the energy needed. See a new understanding among all people of the divinity of forests and woodlands; of rivers, lakes, and oceans; of all natural resources. See the change in consciousness that understands and respects what God has provided us to care for, so we may be cared for by the natural world. Thank you, God, for making it so.
