Dearest sister in Christ, to me the single most amazing thing about our universe is that, at bottom, every single thing in it is made up of exactly the same "stuff." Which to me is totally mind-boggling, considering the virtually uncountable different forms living and non-living that occupy it.

Lately, a new thought has come to delight (haunt?) me: The "stuff" underlying absolutely everything in our universe, living and non-living, is itself fundamentally composed of just two things: Light and (willful) Intelligence. It's the Intelligence that explains the different forms....

I'm still mulling that one over!

Thank you ever so much for your splendid essay/Post!

Not only is all made of the same stuff, all the stuff is quantumly linked to a single origin of it all.

I believe the Bible reinforces your notion of everything being made of light and intelligence. I would put it slightly differently however, as all is composed of light and information. The Word of God, the Command From God is information. Now, the task for you is to guess how that information is attached/fused to light. ;^) I believe the clues are spread throughout the Bible, Old and New Testament. My feeble effort to illustrate it is the use of my 'where/when' designation.

Funny. I often say that the universe is made of hydrocarbons.

But, as you say, animated and illuminated by will, intelligence and light.
