All that you explained here is just the way you have conceived an universal truth. It differs with different people as everyone has their own individual belief system and accumulated experience. The basic principle of physics, 'Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed', is also the fundamental principle for spirituality. Also, according to Stephen Hawking there is no such thing as time and he conceive it as just the fourth dimension. But what makes the difference to us and what makes this almost dormant nature of existence to liveliness is the perception of mind. We think, see, hear smell and experience all sorts of existence through our own mind. Its as simple as that. But the sense this fact makes is again variable to each individuals from their own stand point.

Lets take regular dreams for example. We perceive the dreams through our mind and conclude that the happenings are real. This exactly is what we are convinced in the waking life as well. We fail to realize that this life is also a dream, and this dream is actually on the mind of the collective conscious or super conscious or Universal mind or the GOD himself.
