A Change in Perspective

I woke up with an insight this morning that brings the whole truth down into a little change of perspective. A metaphor, too simple, maybe, for anybody to take it for an insight , but here it is anyway.
Electricity always flows from the positive to the negative, just as water flows from the higher to the lower. It is the same with life energy, which is a short form among scientists for the meaning of the word God or IT. IT flows always from the center outwards filling the gaps and cravices, from the more concentrated as in the center of the earth /sun/big bang to the lower levels expanding into space. IT flows through plants and things and sustains everyone and everything, being experienced by humans as generosity, giving, love, knowing, acting and creating, when we go with its flow, but as resistance, pain, disease, anger and fear, when we bring the ego in opposition to IT's expansive power.
The scientist might say, that here I am introducing subtly an intelligent component into IT, the life as such, and I would definetly agree, because if intelligence is in the universe, as in you and me, then it is in the universe, the total oneness of being I call IT.

This is wonderful! One of the strange things facing philosophy and science are Godel’s Incompleteness Proof and Quantum Mechanics, respectively. In the case of Godel’s Proof, it turns out that if the universe is causally deterministic- that by most definitions, all of its parts are conscious. In the case of quantum mechanics- it isn’t what we KNOW about quanta that is special- it’s that we don’t really know ANYTHING! We can predict particle behaviours, but we still don’t know WHY they do what they do. They just… choose to…
IT.
That's my hope, that faced with quantum physics, a lot of people will realize that they really don't know anything. Freedom from the known, as Krishnamurti said, is freedom from judgment, freedom from the analyzing mind, freedom from self, freedom from the personal story, and freedom to relalize that we are totally free to begin a new storyline any time. All we need to do is to develop trust in Mind, Universal Intelligence, or God.
-Oops, now the old church people seem right after all. Is that dangerous?
Well, if Jesus meant God to be Mind, or (Super- or Sub-)Consciousness, or Universal Intelligence, and not some old pupa in the sky as some are trying to tell us, the whole teaching seems to make sense again. At least Emmet Fox, Thomas Troward and Ernest Holmes can make it appear pretty convincing to me.
