Throughout history, humanity has sought to comprehend the divine, using metaphors and concepts to grasp the infinite nature of God. One perspective that has gained traction in philosophical and spiritual discourse is the idea of God as energy—a boundless, all-pervasive force that animates and sustains the universe. This idea aligns with the modern understanding of energy as something that cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, echoing the eternal and unchanging qualities traditionally ascribed to God.
Viewing God as energy highlights the divine’s omnipresence. Energy flows through every atom, every living being, and every corner of the cosmos, just as God is said to dwell within all creation. This perspective removes the notion of God as a distant entity and instead invites us to recognize the divine in everything—light, sound, matter, and even the spaces in between.
This understanding of God also offers a profound connection to the concept of omniscience. If God is the energy that permeates all existence, then God is inherently aware of all things, as energy interacts with and sustains every facet of reality. Just as energy holds the potential to store and transmit information, God as energy can be understood as a source of infinite knowledge. This omniscience is not confined to observing events but includes an intimate understanding of all possibilities, potentials, and the intricate web of connections that make up the universe.
In this view, God’s omniscience becomes less about surveillance and more about profound unity. God-as-energy is not an observer but the very essence of existence, inherently connected to and aware of every part of creation. This perspective invites us to see divinity not as separate from the world but as the vital, intelligent force that flows through everything, making the infinite both accessible and deeply personal.
