intelligent energy

[anagogy]

There is no such "thing" as energy. Energy is a concept - an idea in the mind - that is useful for expressing the relation between matter and motion.

I understand what you're saying, Colin. In fact, for this very reason I used to refer to energy as the "thoughtform or symbolic manifestation of conceptual action" because I felt it was a more accurate description of what most people call "energy", but over time I abandoned talking about it because it was difficult to relate to others without referencing common colloquialisms.
