You are your own Creator.
Excerpt from "The Secret"
Speaker:
“Describe energy.”
Scientist:
“Okay, it can never be created or destroyed; it always was; always has been; everything that ever existed always exists; it’s moving into form, through form, and out of form.”
Speaker:
“What created the universe?”
Theologian:
“God.”
Speaker:
“Okay, describe God.”
Theologian:
“Always was and always has been; never can be created or destroyed; all that ever was, always will be, always moving into form, through form, and out of form.”
Speaker:
“You see, it’s the same description, just different terminology.”
"If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration"
-Nikola Tesla

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.People always talk about "energy" as if it's a single, consolidated entity. Only it's not. According to physics, energy is a property that must be transferred to an object to work on... or heat... and there are many type of energy: Magnetic, thermal, nuclear, mechanical...
So this whole idea that there's some "substance" called "energy" has always confused me. I get energy from eating food... yet I'm going to die. The sun produces massive amounts of solar energy in the form of light and heat... yet the sun will die... in fact, were it not for dying stars, we wouldn't be here.
So "energy," in new-age parlance is just another term for god, gussied up to sound sciency.

The problem with people always going on about how you can't create or destroy energy invariably miss the little detail that you can change the configuration of matter and energy.
If I blow up my car with a hundred pounds of C4, no matter or energy was destroyed and the matter and energy making up the vehicle will eternally exist somewhere in some form, but the specific configuration of my 2012 Prius V is no more. If I expect to be able to drive it, I will be disappointed. If I expect to find its engine purring away in some automotive afterlife, I will also be disappointed.
The reason this sleight-of-hand is easier to swallow for human minds is that we are naturally resistant to the fact of our own mortality, our own self-referent observations seem shrouded in a certain mystery, we FEEL permanent and substantial to ourselves, and sometimes we have weird experiences that make us question things we know, to a reasonable margin of error, to be likely to be so. But none of that changes the fact that if I bop you in the skull with a ball-peen hammer and cause significant but relatively limited damage to your brain, even that relatively small change to the configuration of matter, energy, and chemicals that is you, will change you profoundly -- and for the worse. There is no reason to imagine that the total destruction of your brain doesn't finish the job -- and lots of reasons to think that it will finish it.

Thank you for your insight.
Reality is like a choose your own adventure book in the sense, don't like one storyline, backtrack to another one.
Rabbit hole has a fork, choose a path, proceed until you decide to backtrack to that fork and see where the other option goes to.
By the way, it wasn't a ball peen hammer, it was a mack truck.
