We’ve speculated that consciousness is energy and energy is an expression of consciousness. We’ve also observed that energy flows, it moves. A rock looks like it is inert, but its atoms have moving parts that are quite active. Is consciousness, like energy, always “on the move,” in need of movement, and when movement stops, does consciousness itself cease to exist?

Your question is formulated from a bias of being aware of physical types of energy as described by the laws of physics—heat, electricity, magnetism, light, and so forth—all of which have a vibrational component. And you speak of atoms that are not truly particles but energy in a certain configuration that is denser because of its vibrational characteristics, yet it is a discrete packet of energy, existing in isolation, and thus can be a part of something that is coherent and has a certain stability to be observable on a macro scale as the sum of many such component parts and, as such, that stability may contribute to an existence through eons of time depending on the starting composition. There are many ancient worlds and star remnants from galaxies that have come into existence and faded away over time. Their energy still exists but is in differing forms that no longer function the same way but are exhibiting a different set of potentials. This is the best way of understanding consciousness, that it is a pluripotential energy of infinite capabilities. There are many physical analogies we could give you to assist this understanding, all of which will fall short from the true intricacy and magnificent and awesome nature of consciousness in its totality. One such analogy would be pointing to white light being comprised of many wavelengths, each of a differing nature and each of a visibly differing color to the eye, yet all are present within that white light wherever it is existing and radiating as it emanates and beams outward. Consciousness, of course, has many, many more varieties of capability and expression because there are an infinite variety of things in existence comprised of consciousness to begin with. So everything you see and can imagine about it is a representation of the potential of consciousness to bring things about, whether short or long-lived, and representing a wildly varied array of other characteristics. There is an entire set of physical expressions within the physical plane of consciousness and its many creations, but that is a small subset of a total of infinite size. This is why there are no borders surrounding what is in existence, because that cannot be defined given the vastness of infinity. Another analogy we could give is that this web of consciousness that is nonlocal and omnipresent, meaning it exists everywhere at once, is sort of like a vast ocean that is supportive of varied content in varied configurations that can move about, come and go, expand, contract, transform into seemingly different manifestations of infinite variety, all the while being supported and interconnected by a kind of intrinsic foundation analogous to the Internet. So what you see on the Internet, if you send a message to someone or visit a website to review its contents, is the basic information intended to portray what is intended by the creator of the website or by you in sending a query to an individual or organization. Those exchanges will happen seamlessly without a seeming connection to anything. In physical terms, they leave your keyboard, in constructing a search query, and then information appears on your screen seamlessly without your having to know where the information goes and how an answer is returned. That is the supporting foundation of the Internet providing the platform, to have information content exchangeable in a meaningful fashion without having to mount an elaborate strategy and set of instructions on how to ensure a message reaches the intended party. You will be giving a label or instruction by stating an email address, for example, and it is that content that will enable the Internet to process the query and bring about a response because your query will have your identity or location embedded within. So there is a vast capability of interconnectedness that knows where everything exists using a basic framework to define this, and that is analogous to the basic web-like nature of the field of nonlocal consciousness as a support for an interchange that is seamless and instantaneous and can be utilized by all forms of consciousness, particularly sentient beings who have business to conduct.
