We have the very mistaken idea that matter is inert, lifeless, dead. We are wrong. We observe a cup of water and we think it is dead matter, lifeless, lacking Consciousness. We think the water and the cup are just a bunch of atoms, molecules, and minerals sitting there, and are nothing more. We are wrong. Similarly, when we read any scripture, and we read about the elements, we think of physical elements, and that physical elements are dead matter. We are wrong.Every atom in nature is a trinity of matter, energy, and Consciousness.Every atom in nature has matter. Every atom in nature has energy. Those we can verify easily. What we do not realize is that every atom also has Consciousness. Nowadays, fortunately—even though it may be too late—finally the scientists are beginning to recognize that this is a fact: that all atoms have Consciousness. As they are performing experiments with quantum physics, they are discovering that the Consciousness of the scientist affects the experiment. When the Consciousness of the scientist is observing the behavior of a quanta of light, the light changes its behavior. If that quanta is not being observed, it behaves differently.
Particles are not conductors by themselves, just like they are not conscious, and most things made of particles (wood, plastic, glass, etc. etc.) are not conductors (and maybe have no consciousness), but each single particle in the universe has an electrical charge and each single particle in the universe has a property, say, C. That property C is the one that allows our brain to be conscious. I am not claiming that each single particle is conscious or that each single piece of matter in the universe is conscious. I am only arguing that each single particle has this property C which, under the special circumstances of our brain configuration (and maybe other brain configurations as well and maybe even things with no brain) yields consciousness.
