I agree with most of how your posts characterize matter, energy, god, soul, etc. .. except, I disagree that there is such a thing a "negativity" or perversion in any fundamental sense. I think the primordial will which generates matter and individuality is the will to experience - i.e., free will - and from that will all experience has been generated, including what we call good and bad.

Just as light and dark are only meaningful if both exist, many experiences require the context of harm, anger, and hate; the play reqires that the actors participate in all sorts of variations.

When you get right down to it, everything is comprised of flittering potentials of energy; the materialist perspective actually died factually decades ago with the advent of quantum physics. Mind and self are necessarily built of energy; to say they rely on matter is to forget the canvas upon which all is built.

Matter is an illusion of perspective.
