Is God energy?

A visit to Mr. Subramaniam's residence reveals another interesting possibility.

I triggered the debate here too! His opinion that God is energy seems valid. A positive one I assume that is present in every living being to varying extents. The negative is what is commonly called 'Satan'/'Devil'. I believe there is no such entity, but a move in the direction opposite to realising God. The key phrase is 'realising God'.

From the veteran on the question of life after death:

"Those who pass away ahead of their time are destined to spend the remaining (missed out) part of their lives on earth amidst us".

So what happens to souls who complete the course naturally?

"Those who finish the course to completion go in for another birth".

My mind is abuzz with questions once I'm home.

If there is something called 'free will', can one break out of the endless loop of life and death? What if one doesn't want to be re-born? What happens to that soul? Where does it go? Where does it reside if it does not anymore belong to earth? Is it possible or meaningful to realise God after death?

If this free will exists, why is it that we cannot (if at all possible, easily) change the story written about us? If we are to go by the old proverb "One can win fate with brains", is this really possible? Are there any examples to prove? If there is free will, why should one be assigned a fate in the first place! Is it because, without fate, we would aimlessly drift into uncertainty? And in order to avoid the uncertainty, we have been assigned a goal by default? Is our destiny then our choice?

From this visit to get horoscopes matched for a bride to this discussion.. interesting.
