TRANSFORMATIONALISM
A C Q U I R I N G
THE POWER OF POSSIBILITY
By Wayne A. Knight
PREFACE
This book is different from other books. It is not
intended to give you a complete picture but rather to
inspire you to think beyond what is to the power of
what is possible. Look at each slide and think about
what it says and could mean. This will empower you
to mine the value of the idea. I hope enjoy reading
this book as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

THE REALITY OF THE
UNIVERSE
Energy
THE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE IS
IN ENERGY NOT MASS
“MASS” = ENERGY
Every “thing” in the universe is really composed of
energy bundles
OUR GREATEST DELUSION
Mass
MASS
If a “thing” is cut in half repeatedly the result is not an
infinite amount of cuts but the release of its energy
So did the “thing” actually begin with substance “mass”?
RELIGION BASED ON ENERGY
Everything is one of two things:
Energy or
The laws and organizational systems
behind energy
LAWS
Because mass is a delusion
The “Laws of Physics” inadequately explain reality
DEFINED
Energy
LAWS
The order of the Universe is governed by the Laws of Energy not the
Laws of Mass
Many of the Laws of Energy have not been defined because of our
infatuation with “mass”
Our current understanding of energy is that it is various types of
waves (cell phone waves, light waves, sound waves, etc.)
We have a hard time conceptualizing “solid” objects as pure energy
LAWS
“God” is not the energy of the universe but rather
the “laws” that govern and organize energy
Energy is not God and God is not Energy
LAWS
The Laws of nature are not fixed and unchangeable,
rather they can and do “evolve” over time
Thus, God changes,
like everything else in the universe
LAWS
Since energy has no beginning nor end
neither does God
Creation is a manmade construct
That has no bases in reality
LAWS
Gods creates vast opportunities
We are not predestined
Fate and destiny are only limited by how we use the
opportunities in front of us
TRUTH
Truths are found in the definition of energy and the
relationships energy sources have to and with each
other.
As different forms of energy come together different
“truths” result
Truth is all about energy in action
ENERGY PERSPECTIVE
We want to believe that the board in front of the class is reality
But the board changes depending on one’s view of it.
The form of an energy source depends on
the perspective of the observer
REALITY
I intuitively believe that what I see is the same thing you are
seeing
This is simply not true
Reality constantly changes relative to the beholder
REALITY
The Universe is a closed system
Therefore the amount of energy
in the Universe is constant
This is very different view from the current view
that says the Universe is ever
expanding and its energy is limitless
REALITY
Every event that happens in the universe is
neutral
that is, it just happens
Individuals and other living and non-living things
determine the value, if any exists, of all events
Consequence: There is no “sin”
REALITY
Sin becomes a learning opportunity
Learning opportunities
Are not bad nor good
Just opportunities
REALITY
If there is no sin
The need for God to be judgmental
Vanishes
REALITY
The need for confession
The need for forgiveness
The need for mercy
REALITY
Rituals and Ceremonies
Just because we have always done it this
way
Doesn’t mean we have to do it that way now
REALITY
God does not select one individual or group
over others as his “favorite” or “chosen”
servants or for special dispensation
REALITY
As the Law Shaper and Giver
God wants every source of energy
to reach its fullest potential
And our potentials are in a constant state of flux
REALITY
What happens when we reach our full
potential?
God changes “the rules” and we are given
new potentials!
OBJECTS IN THE UNIVERSE
Energy sources (lights, walls, people, relationships,
love, etc.) in the Universe are “open” energy systems
They exchange energy with other energy
sources in the Universe
Touch the top of your desk
You are feeling energy
THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF ENERGY
Energy does not exist as an independent
state
All “things” are interdependent
CONSEQUENCE
“Me” as an independent being does not exist
To define “Me” takes two entities, me and everything that is
not me
We are interdependent
RESPONSIBILITY
I alone bear the responsibility for my
actions
IS PURE DELUSION
We bear the responsibility of our actions
I am not independent from others therefore
we share
responsibilities for each other’s actions
TYPES OF ENERGY
Energy sources with specific forms/boundaries
Energy that has realized its potential (a
book, computer, light, door, air, water, light
waves, sound waves etc.)
Energy that is in the possibility state
Energy that is in the “idea” state
BOUNDARIES
Boundaries between energy forces are the key to
their power
Power of “touch” allows the transference
of energy from one source to another
BOUNDARIES AND MASS
Boundaries viewed as “mass” create delusion.
We think of our fingers as a separate part of our
body
but they are not
BOUNDARIES AND ENERGY
If we see our fingers as energy extensions of our body
we have near limitless possibilities to explore our
universes
We can actually “touch” other ideas (energy forces) and
interact with them
EXCHANGE OF ENERGY INREALIZED ENERGY SOURCES
Energy is transferred across all contact surface sites
Picture on a wall
Transfers energy to the wall
Transfers energy to the air
Transfers energy to the wall hanger
Transfers energy to the nails
Transfers energy to the eye of the beholder
(via light energy)
And these sources transfer energy to the picture
CONSEQUENCES
Energy routinely transfers power from one source of
energy to another
This is the power of the Universe
This power can be harnessed.
No energy is “lost”
TRANSFER OF ENERGY
Transfer of Energy and its various reactions is “Religion”
The measure of an event’s worth is
the direct benefit the transfer yields
to the energy sources involved
AS IDEA
Energy
STATES OF REALITY
Something may be black or white
or some color in between
There are lots of possibilities!!!
STATE OF POSSIBILITY
Stage before something becomes reality
Limited only by imagination of the beholder
Larger than reality (Most of us see “things” after they have realized their possibility)
“Real” but still fluid
POWER OF PRAYER
Derives from seeing the world as energy not mass
Energy can and does pass from one energy
source to another
When we can totally dismiss “Mass” as reality
– we can access near unlimited power
IDEA LOOSES POTENTIAL
An unnamed ideaOnce thinking stops – the idea is lost
DreamsThoughtsVisions
Vanish if not named
Possibility ceases to exist
NAMING/LABELING ENERGY SOURCES
Energy
TWO KINDS OF NAMES
Logos names/labels include the concept of mass and are
powerless to affect change in the world
i.e. as “Mass” Cellphones are just something we
carry
Rhema names/labels focus on energy also focuses on the
transforming power of possibility
As energy – Cellphones bring the world
to the palm of our hand
NAMING THE IDEA
Establishes a boundary
Creates opportunity for repetitiveness
Creates opportunity for transferring it
to others
Creates an opportunity for continuance
beyond the present
Can empower the actors involved with the idea
to build on the original concept
N A M E S D E T E R M I N E T H E B O U N D A R I E S
Naming an idea creates the boundaries of the idea
Limits the idea
Gives it specificity
Distinguishes one idea from another idea
Allows the idea to be tracked over time
A new name changes the boundaries of the original idea
Rhema naming an idea shapes its energy force

ACTUALIZATIONT H E A C T O F M A K I N G A N I D E A
R E A L
Energy
I D E A S U S E L E SS W I T H O U T A C T UA L I Z AT I O N
Actualization transforms the possibility of an idea into
reality
Actualization requires focus
IDEAS CAN BLEND WITH OTHER IDEAS
Actualized ideas can be blended with other ideas
Results:
The idea’s boundaries change
Something new can be created
Progress happens
Things evolve
PURPOSE OF LIFE
Our Purpose in life is determined by the way we use the
energy encounters we experience
It is not something assigned to us from before we were
born
It is based on our previous experiences and the present
encounters
Present Situation New Opportunity
PURPOSE OF LIFE
Focusing the power of the universe
to empower each of us to reach our potentials and
beyond!
NO ACTUALIZATION
Ideas happen
– they get named
-- but they don’t get actualized
Little happens
The potential of the dream dissipates
Describes much of what happens in our world
When energy fields combine things happen
Where I am going with this concept?
Help individuals create and combine energy forces So that more individuals can experience Shalom(The wholeness of life in body, mind and spirit)
