The question as to why we have instincts was my main point. Why do we have the instinct to survive if we are all one energy anyway? We are going to die and our energy will be transferred into something else. So why do we fear death? Whats the big deal? Why were the rules of how life is created set if there wasn't purpose? Why couldn't Earth just remain a lifeless planet if life's energy is just as meaningless and inanimate as the Sun's?
Life can manipulate energy. Or as someone put more eloquently, consciousness can manipulate energy. But energy made consciousness. So is it not safe to say that consciousness is the evolution of energy? Is it not safe to say that consciousness was created by energy for some sort of purpose?
And ultimately, is that purpose to preserve energy's survival? Did the Sun's energy make consciousness in hopes we are able to break away from this galaxy and live on forever as we make children in hopes they achieve something great for mankind so our names will live on forever? Thats what I've been trying to say, but not doing a good job obviously.
I'll put it like this. The purpose of energy is to have a continuous existence threw consciousness.
Ultimately, I'm talking over my own head. But appreciate the discussion. Its intriguing.
