The What-Is-Not

[Shawn]

The flame itself is that which transforms the candle wax and the oxygen into light, heat, smoke. But what is that thing? Is it really energy?

Is this level 2 of that "game"?

If you like. Or maybe it's level 0.

I would say the flame cannot exist without the energy supply from wax and oxygen. So it is probably more something like a catalyst to transform matter in all these kinds of energy. Like an alchemist which transforms one thing into another.
