Energy, in The ABC's of Consciousness, is described less like a resource to manage and more like weather, something that moves through you rather than something you spend.
Watch a kid run for no reason. Not toward anything, not away from anything, just running because standing still stopped making sense a few seconds ago. That's not restlessness. That's just what energy looks like before anyone's taught it to sit down.
What does Energy mean in The ABC's of Consciousness?
It's framed as something that naturally moves through a person, closer to weather than to a battery that runs low.
As adults we mostly experience our own energy as a resource to manage: how much sleep, how much coffee, how much is left before 3pm. Kids experience it as something closer to weather. It moves through them and they move with it, in a stream, in the wind, in circles around the yard.
The illustration here shows a child standing in a glowing forest stream, light trailing off in swirls the way energy actually seems to behave when nobody's trying to contain it: visible, moving, unbothered by explanation.
