The Energy that Animates the Universe

The energy that comprises all particulate matter in the universe, harmonically integrates the vibrational frequencies of these particles to form the atomic elements that make up the building blocks of the physical universe.

The energy that determines the way these particles combine also determines the physical-chemical properties of the elements formed and their valences for bonding with other elements to form the stars and the compounds that comprise the planetary bodies as well as the molecules of life itself.

This energy empowers and animates all life, plant and animal. It includes the physical-chemical and biological parameters that allow such life to synthesize and accurately replicate itself.

It is this same energy that emerges in sentient beings as consciousness and in human life as awareness. The consciousness that is realized in the enlightened mind of a buddha is this same dynamic energy of awareness. 

The fundamental law of the universe, the Theory of Everything, TOE. must therefore incorporate the dynamic of consciousness, it cannot be reduced to or derived from Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, E = MC^2. It must be expanded as E = C, where E is the total energy of the universe and C is consciousness. Where Einstein's formulation reveals the energy inherent in matter, E = C reveals the consciousness inherent in energy.

Simply put, this formulation is a theory of everything because it puts consciousness at the center, thereby including all psychological variables as well as social and cultural phenomena, artistic and literary expression, religious superstitions and even the utter madness of human  destructiveness and violence. It is not a reductionist model. It's an integral model of the universe.

A TOE that fails to integrate consciousness into the equation can never be complete because it fails to recognize the intelligence that is seeking the definitive explanation of "everything". That's us! We are that inquiring consciousness.

Enlightenment is awakening. It is becoming conscious of the presence of awareness. It is awareness that is aware of being aware. Awareness itself is the portal to this presence. This is the presence that is in harmony with and integral to the dynamic energy that animates the universe of appearances and possibilities, either of samsara or nirvana. Nirvana is merely being present in awareness.
