Why this whole thing even works in the first place!

Flowing energy causes matter to move.
Energy always flows, and it does so from "hot" (areas of high energy) to "cold" (areas of low energy). (or for those of you on the Entropy bandwagon - entropy increases, on average).
Those two simple points are all that you need to understand why everything works the way it does on this physical plane of existence. Every action (or inaction?) is the result of energy flowing from one area to another - from hot to cold.

Which is probably why it has such an easy time moving matter around....
One's own self will always be the easiest thing to move

Flowing energy causes matter to move?"""
isn't matter moving too?

or if everthing is moving
isn't it not?
where is the spark?

Yeah, because energy is moving it

I think the word "energy" has been hijacked by new-agers to make it sound as some etheral thing flowing around, when in fact energy in physics is an abstract concept. Energy by itself does not exist, its like saying height exists. You can't say height makes kids grow, instead height is a word to describe the growth of kids And of course, we all have to thank coomic books and cartoons for that deep understanding of physical concepts.

I hope you aren't calling me a new-ager 
Energy certainly does exist "by itself" - matter seems to exist quite nicely and matter is just another form of energy.
Using the word "flow" is definitely misleading...but it's also one of the best/easiest ways to explain the concepts of energy transfer to someone who doesn't spend their sunday afternoons reading physics books

Consciousness formed matter. Each atom and molecule has its own consciousness of some sort. Consciousness and matter and energy are one, but consciousness initiates the transformation of energy into matter.

This is an idea that you just thought up.

That would fall under the "new-age" heading...
Notice in my original post I wrote "on this physical plane of existence"? I wote that for a reason

HAHA so if something is new-age it is wrong? Its better than being stuck in "old-age" and never getting anywhere.
If you think of things this way everything makes sense even Christianity haha.

ever have an energy problem w/ you air condition?
they charge you $700 for a $15 part?
a motor won't start by electric alone
you got these + and minus's that don't give a shit about energy, until you energize them...
the spark, the capaciator, is

Yes, caffeine is the building block of all life. The "big bang" was actually the explosion of a Starbucks in a nearby galaxy. The caffeine fallout "seeded" Earth, and the rest is history.
