The sun rises from the west and sets to the east every day, then night comes and dark approaches, until morning comes again and welcomes our souls to return to their activities to pick up fortune. The sun doesn’t need an alarm sound to rise over its horizon, and the earth doesn’t need a dynamo to keep spinning on its axis. All carry out their duties consistently and work according to their respective portions as if there is a mechanical touch that determines everything to complement one another. It is impossible to feel that everything is going in a state of balance if there is no “consciousness” that determines it. All of them work independently, but all are in compliance with their respective provisions.
The universe occurred in a big bang, where it is said that there was an initial energy that split the original matter apart, so that the glow was scattered and formed a state called space and time. This energy is gradually recognized that it is eternal, eternal. Until one day the law of the conservation of energy was rolled out, which read, “Energy cannot be created and destroyed, but energy can change from one form to another”,
The initial energy is then transformed into a cosmic system that is so complex & sparkling by starlight, and is filled with celestial bodies that are in a rhythm that is full of order in their circulation zone. This energy permeates and empowers every point of the universe. Energy is constantly changing and flowing through the universe, until each energy change will produce a new function again. As energy from sunlight activates the photosynthetic system in leaves, so that oxygen factories in plant cells can produce, which is then converted into oxygen in sufficient quantities and then fills the earth’s atmosphere. Don’t you realize that everything in this world is a manifestation of the initial energy that made the universe happen. Living things, plants, rocks and everything is a layered transformation of the original energy that made up the universe.
However, to transform into the desired physical form, the initial energy needs a “direction” so that changes occur according to context. For example, to turn into water, the chemical energy of hydrogen requires the chemical energy of oxygen so that these two energies react and then fuse to form a physical form of water which is the bond energy. Before and after transforming into form, energy needs a “reason” that makes it specific.
“Reason” makes the change from energy to so amazing in the universe. Reason also makes every result of the transformation of energy into an extraordinarily complex purpose. That is to make every thing in this universe useful. So that the sun can shine, so that the earth can rotate on its axis, so that plants can continue to photosynthesize, so that water can continue to flow. Like electrical energy that continues to flow through our homes so that we can enjoy all the conveniences provided by the technology that we feel today.
Finally we realize, that there is a reason that causes the energy in the universe to transform. There is a purpose in changing energy from one form to another. And there are benefits that we can feel from morning to evening, evening to night, until the sun returns to greet us the next day. So that we can also investigate, that behind all the reasons, purposes, and benefits of the initial energy that formed this universe. There is an awareness, which designs everything to work to achieve its goals and benefits. Consciousness that gives us space and time. Consciousness that gives us a place to live, and enjoy all the beauty that exists in this universe.
This awareness is always around us, it is always in the universe, it is awake to ensure that the energy flowing through the universe is present for us. It’s just that maybe we’re too proud to re-embrace this awareness. Maybe we think too long and far for ourselves, and forget that it is this consciousness that makes everything exist. While he has put the sun on since early morning arrives, and puts the stars when night falls. To remind us that he is always there and watches over us until the time when everything ends.
