Energy is the universe and universe is energy. We can understand it with this simple scientific logic that each and every object living or non-living is made of atoms, and atoms are made up of many subatomic particles, if we peek inside those atoms we will find different strata of energy spinning around a nucleus, we call it atomic energy. It is not possible for the universe to exist without energy. Similarly, life is energy. Plants store energy from the sun and pass it to food chain which runs the life in the animal kingdom.
From the strict laws of physics, energy cannot be divided into the categories of positive energy and negative energy, but we have positive and negative impact of energy on our health, social and cultural life. So, that energy which have good results for our health and life, we call it positive energy and if it is adverse then we call it as negative energy. We can understand it with a simple example, suppose somebody run for a distance to do morning exercise in one situation, and he runs the same length to hit someone due to anger in another situation. We can see that in both the conditions he will consume the same amount of energy in calories. But in the first situation, it will have all the sound effects on his health and in the second situation he will have a harmful impact on his health. Therefore, in the first situation, we call it positive energy and in the latter case we call the same energy as negative energy.
In the developmental evolution of Homo sapiens as the human race which starts way back to around 2.5 million years ago and leads to the so-called 'Cognitive Revolution' about 30,000 years back, after two million years of biological evolution into the evolution of human thought processes. Here we evolved a unique transformation of all the thought processes we were carrying forward from our ancestors in the animal kingdom. We transformed the basic animal instincts of food, sex, and shelter into our own human thought processes of humanity and human values. So, in last 30,000 years, we gradually define the human traits of love, compassion, happiness, tolerance, helpfulness, development and progress as positive thoughts, and all the basic animal instincts like hatred, aggressiveness, violence, greed, etc. as negative thoughts. Though all the human beings still have the negative thoughts, our positive thoughts of humanity and human values were evolved to control them, which we see in the form of spirituality and spiritual thought processes.
During the last 30,000 years of the evolutionary journey of our thought processes and their transformation also transforms our biology and physiology. We have different concentrations of different chemicals in our system under two different conditions. Like we have serotonin, endorphins, dopamine, etc. when we do some good work, which makes us happy, relieve our stress, regulate our pulse and BP, etc. While we have a rush of epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, etc. while we have negative thoughts of hatred, anger, violence, jealousy, greed, etc., they make us anxious, increase our stress and BP, make us worried. Hence they are bad for our health.
Our evolved cognitive thinking call that energy used for the betterment of humanity and human values, all those thoughts which are supposed to enhance the development of the human race as the positive energy used in positive thoughts. So, we are encouraged to apply our energy in positive thoughts which reflects in our cultural and scientific development and paved to the agriculture revolution, cultural revolution, scientific revolution, industrial revolution, etc. in the development of human race in last 30,000 years. In fact, it was the reason for a rapid ascend of the species Homo sapiens to the apex of the animal kingdom with all their exponential growth of knowledge.
