Imagine the universe is an egg, an interaction of two things, one surrounding the other. The yolk contains all matter and energy we observe, all the planets and suns and galaxies, all the black holes, dark matter and dark energy, as well as all of time. In essence, the yolk is all of time-space, from the big bang up until now and continuing on into the eventual end of our universe, the "big rip." I call the yolk, the Matter Plane.
The white of the egg is the Energy Plane, this is the system intelligence for our universe, it is the controlling infrastructure, the manifesting mechanism and fuel. We do not often observe this kind of Energy, but we feel it every day, it animates us, gives us life and purpose. It is different from an egg white in that it doesn't just surround us, but it permeates us, a sub-sub-atomic nexus that forms the patterns for all expressions of structure and behavior, all physics, all chemistry, all emotions.
In some ways the Energy of the Energy Plane is akin to Einstein's grand unified field, and in other ways it may seem more familiar (or offensive to some) as "God." It doesn't matter what you call it because what the Egg Model enables us to do is better integrate the energetic aspects of existence into our models of ourselves in medicine, psychology and self-development. We are made of both, and if you believe in re-incarnation, our energetic aspects come and go again and again from the energy field to the matter field and back again.
As residents of the yolk we are still intimately connected to the universal egg white, and considering our personalities, our moods and emotions, our auras and electromagnetic signatures, it seems obvious to me that the Egg model also fairly accurately describes the individual.
Each of us is made up of parts matter and parts energy. If we just simply start there, perhaps we can agree on that? Perhaps we can stop killing each other for what we call the "energy" or the motivations we ascribe to it once so named?
There may be or may have been many eggs. There may be more after our omelet is done. But perhaps we are learning to share it together, taking a little white with every hunk of yolk.
