Understanding the Nature of God/Creator

[Ming the Merciful]

Hi guys. I'd like to ask a question about the Creator. Some say Creator is All That Is; whereas some say Creator is Consciousness. Anyway there is something i don't understand. As our Universe and all other things is formed of Energy, what is the difference between Energy and Consciousness? They are the same thing or they are different? I'd be happy if you could enlighten. Thank you

Perchance Consciousness is Energy with Intent, 

Zie, ik ben naar de wildernis gegaan en heb nieuwe Goden geschapen.

As I understand it, although I am interpreting this from an Eastern viewpoint, (and Vedic Philosophy). Brahma would be seen as the Ra, (or Universal Consciousness), which permeates everything. Then there is the argument, did the Universal Consciousness create the Universe, (or), did the Universe create the Universal Consciousness? There is now a new philosophy developing where even inanimate objects could, (possibly), have a state of awareness and self-consciousness. A rock could be self-aware, except not on a self-awareness, as we know it. Which brings in the argument, if inanimate objects are self-aware, then the Earth itself has self-consciousness. Then the solar system, and then the galaxy, the next stage is the entire Universe. As nothing is lost in the Universe, or everything is in a state of birth and rebirth, and transformation and transmutation from one form to another, then we must question self-evolution. As we reside in self-consciousness as an individual, and there is the group-consciousness and the merging into Oneness, then everything is made from single-component parts. Creating the overall Universal Consciousness. The philosophy of inanimate objects having self-consciousness is not new, because that is the core philosophy of Shinto in Japan. It has been around for thousands of years.
