Electricity is never “un-manifest”ed. It is required for atoms to bond and is present in everything that is matter. Furthermore electricity is present even in non-matter space by fields, where it enjoys the freedom to be and simultaneously to not be aka non-duality via the quantum nature of time.
To say consciousness requires a body is just a religious idea of humans being special. In fact, contrary to the astronauts idea of great religious teachings, this would mean biological creatures are not special and do not partake in special gifts from the gods like consciousness. Similar to how people believed the Earth was the center of the solar system or universe. We move on our own accord? Where do we go? Nowhere, because it’s an illusion of movement. Like the example of a train moving at the speed of light, and a passenger walks from the back to the front… he does not break the light barrier because he is not really moving anywhere.

“That’s completely incorrect”. Show me where in the universe magnetism and electricity do not exist? Or gravity? The idea that consciousness requires a “biological body” only means that it requires electricity. How can you assume consciousness and matter are separate while claiming a non-duality philosophy.

Well yea, when you read Epictetus he makes it very clear that he believes in divine providence. That the world is right how it is, and you just do your part… so you might as well be happy about it.
