“Lightning is more than a flash in the darkness. Lightning is cracks, rips and tears in the structure of energy that exist constantly. In earthquakes the ground, or if you will the normal resting state of that matter, can be ripped suddenly and cracks can form before collapsing back into a resting state. Likewise, energy is constant and has structure. When forces jar and torque the field of energy, you have sudden cracks and rips until it resumes its natural resting state.
