Now use the idea of cycles in the highest possible way and find meaning in what the author of the poetic post felt as he or she wrote.... God will be known to he or she who can find the way in this ever curving maze.
There is one more clue. Before the advent of human beings on Earth other human beings knew God through what we call astrology. Through the study of this discipline the discover God's methods. And what is the source? If we go to visit a constellation of stars looking for beams of energy will we be closer to God or only farther from our home? We err greatly when we look for God too far away. She is among us right now.
The highest master soul that ever lived in the Earth only has a vague idea of what God really is.
I ask everyone to forgive me for adding layers of mystery to this question. It cannot be helped.

Bart, you describe God beautifully.
1. Does one need to be a master soul to interact with God and know God?
For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 1 Corinthians 2:11-16
2. What happens to the energy when the body dies?
Energy cannot be destroyed. The most potent form of energy is thought because thought-waves are cosmic waves penetrating all time and space. Energy can be transformed. (changed from one form to another) When a person dies, the energy is released thermally(heat=energy). Thermal energy is still energy being released into the environment until equilibrium is achieved. It does not cease to exist but comes to an equilibrium with the surrounding environmental energy(temperature). The atomic particles within the body is released back into the earth and atmosphere as gases and whatever is physically left after decomposition. These atoms live forever. Whether they become food for plants, coal, dust, environmental gases, they still continue to exist. Every atom. In the same sense that complete combustion of coal(in the presence of O) would create the products of co2 and h20. The end result is no longer coal, but a different set of compounds. Yet not an atom is lost. The thermal energy was stored in the bonds of the coal and released when combustion took place. In this sense everyone who ever lived continues to exist in particles and energy that become a part of the the greater universe. We symbiotically find another purpose that the universe has decided to use our atoms and energy for.
