What do you mean by "environment"?
There are many kinds of environments. This is not a scientific categorization of kinds of environments. It is just a common sense attempt at putting together an overall view.
These categories are either internal and external.
You have environments that exist inside your skin. And there are environments that exist outside of your skin. All of these environments are essentially created and maintained by forms of energy.
The environments that are internal to you include these categories:
• Subatomic/atomic- Every cell in your body is made up of atoms which are made up of subatomic particles which are all held together by charges or forces. This environment is controlled by rigid rules of behavior for the most part though very strange things happen when you get to subatomic particles. Technically speaking these particles and atoms are not held together by energy but if you break them apart incredible energy is released. Some people theorize that there are vibrating strings of energy that make up these particles. There is this world of billions of particles relating to each other inside you all the time.
• Biological/Physiological- The next level of environment starts with cells. Cells form the basis for all of the biological and physiological functions that take place in your body. The creation and maintenance of blood, all of your organ and muscle tissue, the digestion of food and distribution of its nutrients to your whole body, the conversion of sensory data taken into your body through its sensing mechanisms, etc. are all based on these cells. All of these cells are an environment busy working together to keep you alive. Your organs, bones, and musculature are yet another layer of internal environment that allow you to move and affect the world around you. Your nervous and cerebral system add a final environmental level to this category as their electrochemical forms of energy gather and process data that is brought into your body.
• Consciousness/intelligence- This level of your internal environment is uniquely a result of the organizing power of energy. Consciousness/intelligence is a consequence of countless energy driven parallel layers of self-referential feedback loops throughout the body. This is the world of emotions, intentions, and ideas. There are multiple levels of consciousness that each serve a different function. Your conscious mind is the daily default level that you function in most of the time. There are also levels like your unconscious and subconscious which are less easy to access. And there is the level on which Shapeshifting is most focused: your preconscious mind.
The levels that are external to you include these categories:
• Immediate- The most obvious environment is the one you are in at this moment: the room you are in, the street you are walking on, etc..
• Global- Planet earth has its own unique environment which in time will affect every part of your life.
• Cosmic- Our planet is a speck in this environment but was also formed out of it.
• Unseen- There is a whole unseen environment made up of webs of energy of which we are not consciously aware. These include known ones such as electromagnetic waves (radio waves), sonic waves (sound waves), and atomic particle rays. There are also webs of energy that we may not yet be aware of such as dark energy or parallel universes that tangentially interact with ours.
All of these layers of environments either create and maintain our bodies or are that which our bodies’ sense and take in as we live our daily lives. Our preconscious minds allow us access to what our bodies know. The flow of energy in and through our bodies enables this access. ShapeShifting is the way to connect and express this knowledge.
