referring to "matter" and energy there are some basic rules we can derive from the universe:
1. everything is in motion, there is no stagnation.
so how comes that matter exists? everyday´s life interprets matter as something permanent.
2. to create "matter" from energy fluctuation there is one unique motion that makes matter fixed in place: Spin
spin is a principle that consolidates fixation and motion concurrently.
so spin is the most elementary motion in this universe. it´s a building concept for matter.
3. another basic rule is that building concepts for the universe are valid on all scales of existence.
that´s the reason why motion dynamics at atomic level are the same as at planetary level (moon around the earth, earth around the sun) and at galactic level (sun around the center of the milkyway)
4. the rule of diversification based on simple basic concepts results in self-similarity at different scales. basic elements are combined to something more complex (for example chemestry). this rule of diversification creates richness and expansion. this diversification we call "life".
5. these basic rules also apply to human mind. diversification and expansion are mandatory for continuation of life.
once an individual or a community or a civilization is turning in circles instead of diversing and expanding their individual or collective mind they no longer participate to the dynamics of life.
Mother Nature will take care for elemination of this outdated entity. nature´s tools to do so are extremely powerful.
why are we not allowed to continue our way of "life"? because we are suppressing and annihilating other lifeforms who also are important and equitable building blocks of life.
virusses, bacteria, genetic modifications, weather changes, changes in magnetic field, earthquakes, tsunamis, asteroids, sunflares, highest radiation thru gamma-ray bursts from outer space, ... and there are other tools we have no idea of. some of them are described in the bible. how could those writers know? their mind got access to superior information :-)
and this is the fun part: it´s good to understand some aspect, of course. if one can´t understand an aspect he has to believe in that aspect. his belief will cover the timespan needed to create a superior understanding of the aspect. so belief (= acceptance) is important because it´s the opposite of ignorance. one can´t get an understanding of something he ignores.
to ignore something means to take away curiosity, focus and attention from that subject. believing means to stay focussed to the subject. curiosity, focus and attention are mandatory for expansion of mind. they are the fundamentals for plurality. it´s awareness.
to believe in something one has to be faithful. that way psychology comes into play and aspects like trust, self-confidence are meaningful.
our present situation of global human civilization is that majority´s mind is stuck in dead end concepts for too long.
that´s insane from a cosmic perspective.
nevertheless each individual has a choice to "reanimate" his individual mind. it´s more difficult than being supported by collective mind (-> Rupert Sheldrake´s concept or morphogenetic fields) but it works :-)
An individual is powerful enough to expand his mind against the mainstream dynamics.
Mind is sexy ...
