Dark energy

Dark energy is a complete mystery. It is truly supernatural, beyond anything in nature. It is formless and omnipresent, permeating the universe, present in all space. One could think of it as being a different dimension, beyond space/time. But because it permeates space/time, it becomes the only known candidate for the medium through which electromagnetic particles/waves (including light) propagate. And it is also the only bet for the medium in which matter (negative energy) exists.

When considering God as energy, the two forms of God as E and matter proves God's immanence in the universe. When considering God in the form of dark energy, God is transcendent – a unity.

When considering God as awareness, God as individuated awareness (I) makes up all life in the universe (and by extension all "non-life"). God as transcendent awareness (not-I), is formless, undifferentiated and omni-present - the same as dark energy. Dark energy is then the transcendent state of God/Awareness. Though the names given by religions differ (Holy Spirit, Allah, Tao, Buddha Nature, Brahma, Void, Absolute Bliss…), the essence is the same. It is the state of heaven, unity, and non-separateness; our true home. It is the opposite of Iness, and unknowable by I.
