This all makes perfect sense to me, I'm still trying to get it to make perfect sense to everyone else.
I believe that the entire multiverse that our universe exists is comprised entirely of energy, that the reality we see is merely something our minds currently comprehend due to our very nature being that of infants in the grand scheme of things.
Energy is impossible to destroy, it can only be moved on. When we die, energy is released back into the universe, maybe even the multiverse, where the energy is spread around once more. (This explains the concept of the soul and why people feel like they were/are reincarnated.)
The energy that we leave behind, our bodies, is simply matter that is a condensed form of energy. (You know these as atoms.)
Now, spirits and psychic imprints that re-enact the past, both colloquially referred to as spirits or ghosts, are a bit difficult to explain. I like to think of them as beings of energy, one is fully conscious of themselves and have not been dispersed among the universe, one is simply something like a tape recording.
I believe that magic is real, but not the flashy flim flam that you see in most books. Magic is simply the use of energy to achieve a goal, and the will to achieve that goal. (This is speaking strictly outside of the normal use of energy by our bodies to live, breathe, or move.)
I personally believe that all of animalkind is capable of changing the world around them through indirect means, via energy manipulation, but that we all are either heavily limited of have had our belief in our own abilities have been brought down to the point where we all but remember what we were capable of.
How I got to these thought stems from the shamanic training that my older cousin, Wolfram, has given to me thus far, and my observations of the universe since. I've noticed that when I manipulate my energy and give it will, I can force my own pain away and induce heat within my hands, nothing so grandiose as healing a papercut or causing a small flame, but the effects can be noticed via manipulating thermal energy that is being released (I.e. a candle flame).
I have observed the universe and saw patterns, though some of which I'm still trying to understand, yet I have seen the things that we as Humans do are observable in animals, and vice versa, that when one splits an atom, that the energy is released.
When one weighs the evidence of that with the concept of manipulating energy, one can only wonder at the implications, not only on the individual, but on the entirety of the multiverse.
If you're confused, I'm sorry. That's the best way I can describe this, the leaps in my logic only appear sound when you see how I made them, and often the leaps were purely from meditation into my inner space.
I have not been offended, mainly because being offended by someone else's religious choices is like getting pissed at a Muslim and a Jew for not eating bacon. Just because you like bacon doesn't mean other people like it or want it.
Mmm..... Bacon.
