This is called pantheism. Under this scenario, the next time I have a bowel movement, I better not flush, I might offend someone.
Utterly ridiculous!

You got it.
{{{what was the lesson behind hurricane Katrina}}}
The lesson of Katrina is the same lesson that people have been ignoring since the Europeans settled America, and that is not to build in areas that have a definite history of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods etc. But people haven't learned the lesson yet. They continue to build in these places, in reckless disregard for Mother Nature. That doesn't mean that once we learn the lesson the hurricanes will stop, that is part of Mother Nature.

All things have energy. The Divine is made of energy and energy changes form but never dies. Energy is infinite. Everything is connected by energy. Everything happens to keep a balance. Things do happen by coincidence and there are accidents but the universe always maintains a balance.

It sounds lovely, but I see a logistical problem. If "everything happens for a reason" (one primary one being "lessons to be learned") this seems to assume that the reasons will always be fulfilled and the lessons will always be learned. What happens if they aren't? Does that mess up the cosmic schedule? Or are there retakes on the exams? (Or is there merely the illusion of free will?)

That's a very immanent view of the world that relies upon a strong belief in predestination. Unfortunately, it rejects all that is transcendent about creation and rejects free-will.
Either set of extremes (you've combined two different theological concepts in your question) leads to a lessening of the understanding of the divine.

I believe that is your opinion. I do think to myself "everything happens for a reason" when bad things happen, but in my opinion, it happens for a reason and with the good things that happen, something bad has to happen to keep the balance

Sounds good to me, in reality we have only touched the outer hem of the great mysteries of God`s awesome creation.
