Energy

Energy

Come to think about it
Energy is the least understood
But easily and often
Misquoted out of context
In science and in journalism

If I ask the question
 

Does the matter has energy?
The answer is not clear cut

Then I ponder for a little while,
And ask again
Which has more energy
Matter in motion
Or the matter remaining still?
 

I am called a trouble maker
In my class of adults

When I delve in further
And ask,

What is the smallest particle having energy?
Is it the electron, the neutron, the proton or the quarks?

Then when I ask what is the smallest unit of energy?
A photon
Or a wave
 

I am very much stuck 

With words of expression

Now that I am in deep waters
Not understanding
All these concepts

What shall do to move any further?

State of the matter
Is such that
If each particle
Carries loads of energy
What is the essential force that
Intrinsically bind them together
And hold them tight?
In relation to position
They keep
In space and time
While allowing free
Moving particles to move
Without much hindrance
Rather than that,
With minimum interference
From its neighbouring
Particles of existence

If only the moving particles have
Mass, velocity and energy
That goes with the momentum of forces
What is the principle that
I should apply to my body of interest
Where me standing still
On this planet earth
Has no energy
Until I decide to kick a football
With a force

Now who has the energy my leg muscles or my football or both?
 

How confusing are those concepts
Energy and Forces in action?
I wonder

Then again I should have
Some energy to stand on Earth
Much less if I stand on Moon
What about moon walking,
Sweet talking and

Sleeping one third of our life
On this universal universe

What are the energy consumption of all these activities on earth, on its outer boundaries and in the space in between?

The mind
That made me to kick the ball
Should have either some energy or force
 

In any case
I argue
Since the Mind
That made me to kick the ball
In the first place
Made the movement of the ball
Possible
Until such time the
Mother earth decided to
Abort it abruptly in its journey
In space and time
 

So the mother earth should
Have some control over my mind

In fact, the matter over my mind
Rather than mind over matter
In this instance

Bees, flies, mosquitoes and birds can fly
And in their case
They decide to fly away
As they wish
And also control
The start and stop
Of the flight
As desirable
So birds and bees
Have more energy than me
And humanoids

Staggeringly confusing

Isn't it?

So who has more energy
The Mind (Kicking)
The Matter (Ball)
The Motion (Transition)
The Bees (in Flight)
Or the mother Earth (Gravity)
That stopped the ball in its trajectory?

I wish the answer
Is clear enough
For a kiddy

I am not kidding

The answer to those questions
Are open to inquiry in a
Philosophical Sense
Now that I am beginning to
Think as a Thinker
But not as a Scientist
Who would provide me
The answers to the scientific tenets
That were raised in an open forum
Of inquiry

What is more powerful
Energy wise
The Thinking Mind
Or the Science in Action

I believe the former rather than the latter

Since the mind can penetrate
These concepts at will
Or at leisure
What is the energy and what is the force

 
The mind's energy by its very nature
Is probably far more superior
In its contents and activity
When used wisely and appropriately

Subtle and pervasive
Penetrating
The truths of all kinds
It is the mother superior
Of Wisdom

Now winding up my thought process
Who had used more force
The Italian Parvo Rotti's Goal Header
The French Zidane Zidane's Head butt
An ordinary Ceylonese (my) with a Penalty Kick
At the goal post of Wisdom
Sans destruction

The power of the Mind
Could be ascertained
By intense focus
And attention
To its moment of Origin
And the Energy of its consumption
Can only be harnessed
By sustained
Commitment and Conformity to details of
Metta, Anapana Sati or any object of
Attention sans attachment
And the Competence 

In Meditation cultivated

By that intention
It is achieved
By the wise
The Arhaths
The Buddhas
And Passeka Buddhas
Of today, tomorrow, yesterday
And now in this moment of
Universal extension
Of the timeless dimensions
Of the Sansara Cycle
