Happy, to answer your original questions, I would agree that everything is energy in some form, but not all energy is electrical. Further, gravity is a very weak force, and it seems to be linked only to mass, not electromagnetism, so an absolute link is difficult to establish. I’m not sure what you mean with your idea of a connection between the mind and Universal discoveries, other than it takes a conscious, intelligent, sensing being that can establish cause-effect relationships in order to make those Universal discoveries. The fact that there is a universal law out there has little to do with our awareness of it, until someone is in a position to perceive it and take advantage of it. The concept of flight doesn’t mean anything to an amoeba, nor is it (probably) even possible for that amoeba to “think” about stuff like that since it doesn’t have a “mind”. The mind is only able to operate within a brain (as far as we know), and since amoebas don’t have brains as we know them, it is impossible for them to make and retain Universal discoveries. With that said, the amoeba is still able to biologically take advantage of universal laws simply because of its construction. Simple reptilian brains and mammalian brains were incredible advances, but until “humans” developed the higher brain structure, Universal discoveries were about as significant as Pavlovian conditioning. With the higher brain construct, advanced thoughts could occur. Higher degrees of Universal discoveries could be made, and eventually recorded for the next generations to build upon. This is where we find ourselves.

Intuition has definitely had its place in the great discoveries of the past, and it certainly will in the future. Scientists do value intuition in research, but it must be built upon solid understanding or it will not be appreciated or used. Intuition cannot substitute for the scientific method, but it can certainly assist in the early stages of hypothesizing and further tweaking. This is the key to understanding the difference between reality and perception and imagination. Reality is the way things are. Imagination can lead to reality after a fair amount of focused effort is applied, but it is not reality. Perception is one limited snapshot of relative reality, but it is not the whole picture, and it is often interpreted incorrectly.

If you can intuitively figure out a way to create free energy from electricity and gravity, more power to you. However, from my limited perspective, I prefer to concentrate on focusing my limited brain/mind on Universal discoveries based on known laws. Focus Fusion does that for me, and it is close enough to the cutting edge of science to leave room for intuition as a potential contributor. I’m sure there are a lot of discoveries yet to be made. We live in a fantastic age of discovery, and we are just now seeing the tip of the genetic, electronic and robotic icebergs. Intuition backed by good science will certainly make the next 1000 years very interesting!
