Inference

The ancient Hindus gave one of the best representations for the formless, infinite, attributeless God in the form of a three dimensional oval shaped cosmic egg. This shape was called "lingam" which in sanskrit means distinguishing symbol. Thus the Shiva linga is a symbol of that which is beyond all symbolism.

Let us discuss a few natural and supernatural concepts: Sublimation, Deposition, Combustion, Materialization and Teleportation.

'Sublimation' is a phase transition when a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state. For example: moth balls, dry ice, air fresheners and iodine.

'Deposition' is the phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase. When a substance deposes, it changes directly from gas to solid. For example: snow, dry ice, hail stone.

'Combustion' is when matter turns into light and heat energy. Eg, steam energy, paper burns to give light and heat.

'Materialization' is the creation or appearance of matter from nothing. Eg. a gem appears on the hand from nowhere.

'Teleportation' is the transfer of matter or energy from one point to another point without traversing the physical space between the two points. Eg. an object disappears from one place and reappears somewhere else without being physically transported. Let us watch at least one YouTube video that demonstrates each of the above phenomena or explains the concept.

All the above concepts demonstrate that matter can change its form. Matter can become energy. Energy can become matter. All matter at its core is energy. The source or form of energy may differ eg. light energy, wind energy, thermal energy, sound energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy, potential energy etc. but the energy itself is one and the same it is cosmic energy. This superconscious energy is what all cultures and religious traditions refer to as "God". Therefore, everything is God. To love god is to have loving devotion towards all beings.
