Category:Energy Beings

These are beings made out of energy rather than matter. (correction: Matter IS energy in various vibratory states)

While extremely popular in science fiction, the concept of energy life is hard to define and might in fact be a misnomer in most cases. This is because energy is not a thing, but rather a property of things: therefore stating that something is "made of energy" is analogous to saying it is "made of volume" or "made of texture". There is no such thing as an "energy particle", but the closest real thing would probably be the "force particles", a.k.a. "gauge bosons", such as the photon. Some species in this category are explicitly described as having a physical structure based on photons, whereas most of the others are simply described as "energy", therefore their exact nature remains unclear.

While the above answer seems logical, its scientifically wrong and fails to address the concept of consciousness separate from a physical neural network. For thousands of years, people have very much understood concepts and experiences of astral travel, interfacing and communication with beings that are a higher plane of material. Likewise have we known of and named this conscious form of "energy" from various cultural perspectives.

But since we're approaching this scientifically, the previous answer fails to mention Einstein's equation:

E=MC2 - "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. Under the right conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa.

All matter is energy in a range and spectrum of vibratory states.

Energy beings are embodiments of consciousness operating and existing at much higher vibratory states. We define them as "energy" because its easier than saying "embodied consciousness operating at higher frequencies and alternate planes of dimensional existence" ...and if you really want to experience these planes and/or beings, there are many methods of meditation and altered states that allow it. Look into guided meditations by the Monroe Institute.
