Awareness, Thinking, and Consciousness

Consider that everything, all material things both animate and inanimate, solid, liquid, and gas, all the way down to the smallest particle of matter within an atom, is composed of energy at different rates of vibration. All that energy is God in different states of expression. Each expression of individualized energy exists under a natural law, and those laws are established and governed by the very existence of that which we call God. This is the omnipotent and omnipresent nature of God.

One can argue that God is self-aware. One can argue that God is creative. How else could energy be converted into matter, and how else could the destruction (or decay) of matter only be returned to its source as energy? This is the omniscient nature of God. Any part anywhere that decays from matter to energy can give rise to another part anywhere else that pops into existence. This is not religious rhetoric, but science fact.

There is no "inside" or "outside" to Reality. God is not "out there". We humans are not separate from God in any way. We are as much a part of God as any one molecule of hydrogen is to the entire universe. We are as much involved in the creation of the Universe as God is simply because of our nature to be self-aware. That very nature of being self-aware exists in every particle of matter and energy in the Universe. Thinking, therefore, is nothing more than a complex arrangement of self-awareness, and consciousness is the activity of being self-aware.
