dhw: Or maybe there was just energy in the beginning, and energy kept and keeps transforming itself into all the forms we know and don't know, some of them conscious, some of them not. And that would explain why ATI is such a rich mystery, and why we spend so much time vainly trying to grasp the ungraspable.

> I simply think all eternal energy was conscious. I don't think consciousness can appear de novo from nothing. The original energy was conscious.-I get that, but that doesn't answer my question. If eternal conscious energy was first (in the beginning), from what could consciousness make forms that are unconscious?
