Take a minute to think about that title. By “universal” I mean the entire universe. The entire universe is interconnected by energy and energy is intelligent.

By energy I mean every form of energy. Energy is “of a piece”, and every form of energy is an interconnected part of that piece. We are a form of that energy and we are interconnected with the entire universe.

This is where religion comes from. We feel that interconnection and want to know why. Religion is an answer to that question. Religion attempts to explain that feeling of interconnection.

Human beings throughout our world possess a sense of something within us that is more than us. Humanity has attempted to explain that conception by defining a spiritual and superior being that interacts and has control over our existence.

The human concept of god is that god is everywhere and within everything; that god is within humanity and is more than humanity. Every group of indigenous peoples we have discovered in four hundred years of searching has demonstrated an understanding of this and they have developed a concept of it that we call religion.

These have run the gamut from the terrible through the vindictive and jealous to the all-loving, they’ve been given different names and different attributes, but they all attempt to explain this feeling, this sense that we are interconnected with the universe.

The universe is energy. Our atomic physicists learned this when they started playing around with bombs. When they subjected matter to nuclear fission, they got energy and no residue. Their conclusion? The universe is energy. Energy is everywhere and everything.

Intelligence is pure energy. There is neither form nor substance to intellect. Our thoughts are shapeless and weightless. They don’t have space or mass. But they are intelligence.

We can’t say that only some energy is intelligent, and we can’t say that we are not intelligent. The universe must be intelligent. When we became aware of our intelligence we became aware of our universality. It is that intelligence of energy that human beings have been aware of since human beings have been aware of intelligence.

Religion is how peoples have explained the science. How they have explained that we are connected to the universe. That we are the universe, and the universe is more than us. The origin of the concept of “god” is our connection with the energy of the universe.

This is not philosophy or religion; it is a scientific statement. We know that the universe is energy. We know that our intelligence is energy. We know that humanity senses an interconnection with the universe. Now we know that the universe is interconnected intelligent energy.

Science needs to understand that our intellect is energy and energy is interconnected. If we accept this thesis as a premise, a lot of what we see will begin to make more sense.
