• energies and materia of the universe did not all come from nether Paradise; space is the womb of several forms of matter and prematter as absoluta. Though the outer zone of the Paradise force center is the source of space-energies, space does not originate there. Space is not force, energy, or power. 11:5.9

• Each local universe embraces exactly one one-hundred-thousandth part of the total energy charge of a superuniverse irrespective of nebular relationship, for energy is not organized by nebulae—it is universally distributed. 15:4.6

• The blazing suns can transform matter into various forms of energy, but the dark worlds and all outer space can slow down electronic and ultimatonic activity to the point of converting these energies into the matter of the realms. 42:4.9
• The accumulation and transmission of certain universal space-energies is one of the sources of solar energy 41:7.6

• Such wavelike energy ripples are 860 times the diameters of the ultimatons, electrons, atoms, or other units thus performing. 42:4.14

Unknown forms of energy

• * God, who is energy, from a non-spiritual point of view 3:2.3
