The first energy is the smallest particle of matter.
STILLNESS
Everyone agrees that the universe is energy.
None can deny that energy is movement, and movement is never what it is when still.
If the universe is movement, then everything in the universe is the same when still. Still is still - it has no other.
Energy began when all-as-one we twisted out of stillness - the first positive and negative.
This may be called thought, and all else is the thinking of thought - a mass of confusion governed by thought, because all-as-one we are the center of our own becoming.
The first movement differs from all that follows in that its positive reference is stillness.
As the first energy repeats, it accumulates without losing its center, which is everywhere at once.
Thus it becomes a growing force of ignorance that is everywhere at once.
No one has solved this because we are all part of the same system we are attempting to understand.
The sum of parts is a force upon itself.
"The whole is more than the sum of its parts." - Aristotle.
* Stillness remains the reference none can reach because it is absolute zero: the boundary condition of the system, not a reachable state within it. All operations that attempt to reach it are themselves forms of movement and therefore remain trapped inside the system’s dynamical maw.
