Christian Panentheism

Christian Panentheism Explained.
Reality is comprised of what we can measure, discover, and describe and what we can NOT measure, discover and describe, That is why Webster's defines God as the Ultimate Supreme Reality. What we can measure is what we call immanent and comprises less than 5% of Reality and the other 95+% is what we call transcendent and cannot be measured.
This is exactly what a panentheistic view of God entails. The entire Reality is mostly transcendent and contains what we experience as the immanent portion - physical materialism. Atheists would have you believe the only thing that exists is the physical materialism and that the rest of Reality is just silly religious imagination. All my attempts to rebut this unwarranted prejudice are rebuffed but there is serious scientific support for this view.
My Christian panentheism establishes the existence of God and eliminates any questions about it. God is immanent (the 5% of material Reality) and transcendent (the 95+% that is Consciousness). Consciousness is transcendent because in its imagination it is capable of creation that is not constrained by the laws of our physical Reality.
Atheists get paranoid when I present my views because they only want to have to deal with the traditional religious views that are easy to refute. The forum has declared that God cannot be the Universe or Reality (despite Webster's definition) and is designed to discourage any further serious scientific discussion of the view. But my religion IS Christian panentheism and I will describe it here in detail because it IS a religious interpretation of Christianity.
To avoid getting deeply immersed in the science that underlies my views, I will use analogies and religious referents that are easy to ridicule to keep the atheists happy and to avoid any censure. I see solar systems as described in the Bible as nurseries for the birthing of consciousness through sentient beings. Metaphorically, each solar system that produces life (conscious and unconscious) is a part of God's life processes and procreation. In fact, a symbolic picture of our own solar system could be as found in Revelation 12:1,
. . . And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And being with child, she cried out in her travail and was in the anguish of delivery.
In our solar system, to our knowledge, humans are the main producer of life energy in the form of consciousness. While in this physical "womb" of the earth, we physically overcome and endure whatever we face while our consciousness resides in the spacetime field around the solar system as Dark Energy. The ever-expanding universe is the result of the continuously produced Dark energy of God's consciousness. Any part of our human consciousness that does not at least harmonically resonate with God's characteristics cannot become part of and share His consciousness.
We each produce unique consciousness energy in the form of BEC's that remain separate from God's consciousness in a little "bubble" of quantum plasma in spacetime around the earth until at least one of us perfectly resonates with God's consciousness thereby connecting the entire collective consciousness of earth with God's consciousness. That is the role of Jesus in my version of Christian panentheism. His perfect resonance achieves identity with God's consciousness which is why He is our example of God's True Nature.
The unconscious life energy and any conscious life energy that is not resonant with the Dark Energy of God's consciousness are relegated to be refined as part of the Dark Matter interstellar background that holds together the lakes of fire that are galaxies. God is described as a consuming fire in the Bible. The interstellar background Dark Matter holding galaxies together is continuously consumed by stars to produce more life energy in selected solar systems within each galaxy. The ultimate recycling process.
The idea of becoming part of the lake of fire that is a galaxy is horrifying to any conscious life energy. However, all the unconscious life energy, which is the only kind that is supposed to end up there, would merely be changing form. There can be no pain without the pain sensors of a living physical body, so to all unconscious life forms, the change is inconsequential. The consumption entails nothing more than a re-radiation of their life energy as heat, light, and other forms.
The situation is quite different for life energy in the form of consciousness. There is a form of pain exclusive to consciousness, namely regret. But in this instance, it is in no way a form of punishment. It is merely a natural component of the infinite creation and life cycle of God. It becomes a sort of self-imposed consequence that results from working toward the wrong goals as a human being.
The consequence of refinement in the lake of fire is regret, the metaphorical "weeping and gnashing of teeth" of an unprofitable servant as described in Matthew 25:30,
. . . But as for the unprofitable servant, cast him forth into the darkness outside, where there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
