Involution/Evolution and Energy

What happens with energy as it leaves the Source and Moves to develop and sustain our body? How does it react physically, mentally and emotionally, and spiritually with our experience? How does it get encapsulated and how does it get released? The energy goes through a slowing and densification process as it moves out. It moves back to Source being renewed. Involution and evolution is that process. Come and explore this process.
