    “Sometimes, it is necessary to quiet the mind in order to be able to hear. How can we tune into what is going on outside of ourselves, if it is drowned out by what is going on inside of ourselves? Find your stillness, find your calm, and listen. Allow the universe to speak to you.”
    ― Akiroq Brost

    Or as per George Carlin:
    "Overnight I became a sun worshipper". Well....., not overnight....., you can't see the sun at night, but the next morning I became a sun worshipper".

    “Your whatness
    is what we share with you,
    our togetherness.
    Your thisness
    is your separate essence,
    your distinctness.
    I love you for your whatness,
    for the me in you, and the you in us.
    I love you for your thisness,
    your eternal soul,
    deathless and endless.”
    ― Kamand Kojouri

    "Everything matters not in spite of the end of you and all that you love, but because of it. Everything is all you’ve got…and after everything is nothing. So you were wise to welcome everything, the good and the bad alike, and cling to it all. Gather it in. Seek the meaning in sorrow and don’t ever turn away, not once, from here until the end. Because it is all the same, it is all unfathomable, and it is all infinitely preferable to the one dreadful alternative.”
    ― Ron Currie Jr., Everything Matters!

    “My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation's history, or limited in the spiritual dimension by one language and culture. I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time.”
    ― Edward Abbey, Confessions of a Barbarian

    “Mind is not really 'inside' us in the same sense that our intestines are. Our individuality is a kind of eddy in the sea of mind, a reflection of the total identity of the universal humanity.”

    If Everything is a Pattern made from Stuff and Stuff is made from Energy.
    It follows that Everything is made from Energetic Patterns, no?
    Every living thing needs Energy to continue its existence.

    p.s. Q: Every non-living thing loses energy to continue its existence? 1/2 life of a non living thing....

    No sure everything is a pattern to start with

    Sure some stuff exhibits patterns by virtue of basic building blocks only fitting together in one fashion

    No argument

    I'd put it more - A lot, but not everything, goes from
    • energetic reactions
    • form basic building blocks
    • with limited connectivity
    • limited connectivity
    • leads to
    • visible pattern formations
    • when connectivity is made

    I agree, the regularly occurring limited and limiting connectivity is expressed as mathematical patterns in nature. The Platonic solids are but a few examples of human symbolism to represent naturally occurring patterns, constants.
    Density determines the dynamical properties of stuff. Is it gaseous, fluid, solid?
    Only patterns of sufficient density are directly observable by humans, others may be measured with instruments of much greater range of sensitivity than human sensory abilities.

    "Having loved enough and lost enough,
    I'm no longer searching
    just opening,

    no longer trying to make sense of pain
    but trying to be a soft and sturdy home
    in which real things can land."

    --Mark Nepo
