What Exactly Do We Mean by Energy?

There is energy around us all the time. We, generally, have normalized it to the point that we don't consciously recognize it.

Here are some examples:

Electricity: We can feel it when it shocks us, it is in all our light bulbs, our televisions, and our hair dryers. We can see the effects of it in the form of lightening in the sky, we can hear it's effects as thunder, but we never truly see electricity. We are all aware of static electricity when we shock ourselves after walking across carpet in dry weather. We see the spark and feel it, but we don't actually see it being created.

Electricity is even in our own bodies. For example, our body's electricity powers the neurons in our brains so they can speak to each other and they send messages that travel from 200 - 400 miles per hour. This enables us to think. We don't see it nor do we consciously feel it.

Emotions are energy. We can feel them, we can see them displayed in various forms, but we never actually see the emotion/energy itself. Joy and excitment puts a bounce in our walk.

Wind is an energy. We see its effects, the trees bending and the leaves moving, we see the damage it can do in hurricanes, but we never see the wind itself.

Some of this energy science can measure, others science has not created the equipment to measure it with yet, but it exist in everything.

Some of us can feel energy, some of us are capable of seeing energy in the form of 'auras', and some of us don't see them or feel them at all, but have a kind of 'knowingness' - a sense about it.

It is entirely fair to say that there in 'unseen' energy all around us - in everything we think, everything we do, everything we see. We live, virtually, in a sea of energy. So can you really say that you don't know about energy? Of course you do, you just haven't given it much thought!
