Divinity pervades the universe; its sparks animate every single thing. A physicist would say that energy is latent in subatomic particles and that matter is nothing but bundled energy. From a spiritual perspective, the goal is to raise the sparks, to restore the world to God: to become aware of the interplay between energy and matter; to become aware that every single thing we do or see or touch or imagine is part of the oneness, a pattern of concealed energy.

Daniel C. Matt, God & The Big Bang
