Any apparency involving the structures of space, the ridges and flows of energy, the folly of Time -- all these are arbitrary Vias through which Life seeks to communicate and either does or does not succeed.
Life itself as a kind of power can take on the forms of vias and look like energy, look like it is occupying space and has location when it does not; take on the apparency of form when it is formless and take on mechanics when it is in truth pure Ability without mechanics.
Life addresses Life and is felt and answered. Anything else is a charade, crafted along different rules for some purpose other than straight Life.
