Energetics – understanding the root system So far we have explored the MeWe Tree above ground. We descended through the layers of branches to find each succeeding level thicker and more powerful. Now, we go beneath the surface into the root system to gain an understanding of how the tree is nurtured, how it is energized by the Earth. As the Earth energizes the physical manifestation of trees, so does the Earth support us energetically. In fact, we will delve into an ancient mystery that has been communicated to me as "Energetics." Here indeed the admonition to "…leave everything you know behind…" is most important for the lessons found herein are profound as they pertain to the very core of our human beingness. Energetics has five Universal principles: 1. The Universe
is nothing but energy. Moreover, since humans have choice and free will, there are five additional principles that apply to humans: 6. We are energetic
bodies that must always be balanced. Universal Application of Energetics 1. The Universe is nothing but energy. This principle is one that causes much confusion. The serious seeker would do well to read Gary Zukav's book, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, for his brilliant treatment of quantum physics and its application to spirituality. For our purposes in understanding the MeWe Tree, please consider the generally well-accepted beliefs of modern physics that maintain that what we perceive as the physical is mostly tiny atomic and sub-atomic particles that are bound together by energy. In fact, if the energy fields holding the particle in place were collapsed, the resulting "matter" would be miniscule compared to the size of the original object and would be quite heavy in terms of its mass versus its weight. This is what is believed to be a black hole in space, a collapsed star. Penetrating further into this concept, we could keep viewing each smaller and more basic type of particles until a point is reached where there is nothing but energy. No further reductions of matter would be possible. 2. There are two basic energies: light and heavy. Energy is vibrational. The vibration determines the power of the energy, the higher the vibration, the more power. Energy is either light or heavy. Light energy is the pure vibration of Divine Light and Love reflecting the highest vibration of all. Heavy energy is a lower frequency vibration that attaches itself to light energy and lowers the over all energetic effect (vibration or frequency) of the mixture of energies. The light energy is not destroyed or altered; it is mixed with the heavier energy (lower vibration), like mixing sand and rocks together. The sand and the rocks are still the same but are combined as one mixture. The result of mixing light and heavy energy together is a lower overall vibration for the mixture, i.e., what results is less than love, and at the same time, the resulting "mixture" of energies will always contain love; thus, love and light are present in every manifestation or focus of energy. The understanding here is that the light energy can always be extracted from a mixture containing heavy energy. This principle enables humans to spiritually evolve. 3. Energy focuses or manifests in conscious forms. This principal is another one that many people find difficult to embrace. Simply stated it means that all forms of energy (including physicalness in our three dimensional world) have a consciousness. It is not always the form of consciousness that we equate with humans, e.g., a rock does not think about what it is going to have dinner! The rock does have the consciousness that it is a rock. That is how it is able to take the form of a rock. Its consciousness is provided through the interlacing of energies that are unique to the rock. These energies "hold" the fabric of the rock together to cause it to appear in our reality. Because light energy is the foundation building block of the energy mixture (light and heavy) that makes up the rock there is a commonality with all other forms composed of energy mixtures. The understanding here is that, as human beings, we can connect with any form by connecting at the level of light energy. It is the universal foundation within everything in the Universe including our bodies and minds. The application also applies to those forms that are without discernible physicalness. For example, thoughts and emotions are forms that have consciousness. Prayer and guided or purposeful meditations are forms with consciousness. Humanity has emphasized materialistic forms. The non-material forms are just as "real" and even more important to our spiritual evolution. Materialistic forms are vital to survival as humans. They have been taken to extremes in many cultures with a corresponding blocking of awareness of the non-material forms that are gateways to understanding that we are Divine beings and how reconnecting with our Divinity thus transforming ourselves spiritually. 4. The creation of forms is through the intentional release of energy. How then does a form come into existence? A form takes shape from an intentional release of energy. The nature of intention is that it is directed. It has purpose and definition. All forms create. The more highly organized the entity (the more complex its physical structure) is, the greater its power to create. All forms have some ability to create. Even the rock creates itself as a rock. Its consciousness gives it form or how it appears to us. It is recreating itself continuously and intentionally as a rock in order to remain a rock otherwise its component energies (light and heavy) would disconnect from the interlaced matrix that is the rock and the rock would disappear as a rock. Its recreation occurs moment by moment. As energy is released
from a form, there is a complementary receipt of energy back to the
form. As the rock releases its energy continuously the same energy mixture
is returned to it so that it retains the form of a rock. The cycle of
release and receive perpetuates the form. If the cycle is interrupted,
then the form may disappear or take on a different form. To change a
form, what is required is to return a different energy mix to the form
that then transforms it to a different form. This was the goal of alchemists
who sought to transform base metals into gold. It is possible to do
this. The greater the consciousness of the form, the more the types
of energy releases (and receipts) that are available. The hierarchy
of release types is: Spiritual is the
release of pure light and love. The hierarchy is based on the proportionality of light to heavy energies as a function of increasing consciousness. Sustaining has the least light energy, and spiritual is total light energy. The higher the consciousness of the form, there is a greater ability to combine the types together, e.g., emotional and thought can combine in the same release, "My feelings are being hurt!" An emotion was experienced and then a label (or symbol) was attached to the emotion. Emotions have less consciousness than thoughts thus when the desire arises to communicate an emotion, thought is needed to classify it and assign a label (from a finite pool of symbols) to the emotion with the hope that it will evoke like-recognition from those receiving the energy release. 5. Intention may be conscious or unconscious. Intention (purpose and definition) is the blueprint for creation as discussed above. Intention may be conscious or not. When intention is unconscious, then it will perpetuate in the same form over and over. The rock has unconscious intention to remain a rock and thus it does. This is how consistency in our world is created and maintained. It also explains why a rock does not recreate itself as a banana. It has no conscious knowledge of banana or anything including itself; although, it is possible to connect with the rock through its light energy component. The higher the degree of consciousness, the greater is the creative potential of the form. The understanding is that for a form with a complex order of consciousness, the nature of what the form can create increases exponentially with the degree of consciousness that it possesses. Higher forms of consciousness can reproduce themselves biologically thus perpetuating their ability to create on and on. It is important to understand the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness. The state of consciousness is that of being aware of self, of having the experience of existence. Awareness, for humans, (as described higher in the MeWe Tree in Understanding Awareness and Understanding the self and the Higher Self) is either physical or spiritual. The question becomes, is one's awareness in the moment of the little self or the Higher Self? This is related to energy releases and receipts in terms of what is available to be released and received. Pure light energy can only be released and received when in spirit consciousness. This explains the relativistic ability of members of the plant and animal kingdoms to create by manipulating lower forms of consciousness. One point is very important to understand and that is about respect. All forms are due to the same amount of respect without regard of their level of consciousness. Because all forms possess light energy, all forms are deserving of respect. This is also at the core of the humility component of harmony described higher in the MeWe Tree. To deface a rock or a tree because their lower level of consciousness is an affront to light energy and is a release of very heavy energy. Human Application of Energetics 6. We are energetic bodies that must always be balanced. We are all beings of focused energy, nothing more, nothing less. It is the nature of our energy organization that contains the soul and the Higher Self as well as all of our awareness of mind, body, and emotion. To get in touch with your energetic body, try this. Stand before a mirror, full-length is best, and really look at yourself feature by feature and see yourself in this human, three-dimensional form. Now close your eyes and reproduce the vision of your body as best as you can. Dissolve your human body into a glowing, perfectly round orb of radiant white light. That is your energetic being. Our energetic body has a finite capacity for holding energy. That capacity can be increased by Grace or can happen through, but not limited to, prayer, meditation, and revelation. The key is Spiritual awareness; the greater the scope and breadth of our Spiritual awareness, the greater the capacity of our energetic body. 7. As humans release energy, a deficit is created in our energetic body that must be filled. The energetic body will always seek balance. As it releases energy, an energy deficit is created in the energetic body. That deficit (or "vacuum" of sorts) will draw external energy to it until balance is once more achieved. This is the receive part of the cycle as mentioned earlier. Release and receive are not necessarily in accordance with our perception of time. The general nature of time is discussed in the MeWe Tree's Understanding Time. There now needs to be a deeper presentation of why humans perceive time as linear. The higher the energy
is, the shorter vibration of its cycle of release and receipt. For there
to be a vibration, there needs to be an oscillation or a start-stop
cycle that corresponds to release and receipt. The interval between
the start and stop determines the frequency. It appears as: (Image
is temporarily unavailable.) This is the model
for all frequencies (vibrations) of heavy energy. Light energy has a
different shape. Light energy is the highest vibration so its stop and
start interval is so short that its shape appears as a point (.). Our
human sense of time comes from our abundant releases of heavy energy
that have an apparent distance between the Start (release) and Stop
(receive) portions of the cycle due to their lower vibration. Thus when
light energy is mixed with heavy energy, it appears to "ride"
the path of the heavy energy's cycle and looks like this: (Image
is temporarily unavailable.) The light energy "dots" appear to be moving through the heavy energy cycle although in reality they are not. All of the dots are in fact one and the same. It is the attachment to heavy energy that creates the illusion of movement and thus creates our perception of linear time. The understanding is that there is often an apparent gap of time between the release of energy (as in giving intent) and its occurrence in linear time. References are often made in the spiritual literature on co-creating about this apparent gap in time. Using Energetics the reason for the gap becomes clear. The stronger the intention, the more energy that is released, and the apparent "sooner" the receipt will occur. This applies to the heavy energy as well as light energy. For example, in a verbal or physical fight, the amount of released emotional and action heavy energies is great. The more energy that is released, the greater the pull of the deficit (vacuum) in the energetic body becomes. A physical or verbal blow is "returned" quickly because of the amounts of energy being released. Think of this as the difference in attractive power that magnets have. A weak magnet has a limited ability to attract. It can only influence other objects if they are in close proximity. A strong magnet can conversely attract objects from a great distance. Often fights end because one or more or the participants reaches the point of physical exhaustion, i.e., the energetic body has depleted itself of the story of its emotional and/or physical energy. The above may appear to give credence to the validity of linear time; however, it really does not. The apparent fast cycle "time" of the fight, used as an example above, is not linear time; it is the power of the intention that causes the appearance to be misleading. Do confuse the strength of the intention with the human perception of time. Often people will express very high-energy, light filled intentions only to not see them fulfilled when the intender thought they should be. Remember that Spirit will return to us that which is in our highest and best good. That includes "when" we receive the return. We may think that we have a deficit in our energetic body that has not been filled (through a return) for a long time. The "long time" is only because of our perception of linear time. I wish that I could phrase this most confusing concept in such a way as to make it very clear. My suggestion is to "…leave everything you know behind…" to discern this concept and allow yourself to "see" into the real nature of time. Our linear time perception is one of the very purposeful limitations that Spirit has imposed on this site of the veil as it is an excellent vehicle for learning. Once we can experience the nature of time, there is much freedom to be gained while in our humanness. If we can truly "be" in each moment, then we are experiencing the circular and true nature of time for there is then no beginning or end. 8. Human energy release uses all six types: spiritual, spoken, thought, emotion, action, and sustaining. In our "knowable" world, humans sit atop the creation pyramid. Nowhere is this in greater evidence than in the civilizations that humans have created. As such, all six forms of energy are available to us to release as we choose. Recall that intention can be conscious or unconscious. We can unconsciously release all of the six types except spiritual. We can only release pure spiritual or light energy through consciousness. That is what the reconnecting with the Divinity within each of us empowers us to do. It is only through fully loving ourselves do we gain the ability to release pure spiritual energy for its source is the Divine within and its release is unadulterated with any heavy energy. It is a full expression of love with no reservations or conditions. What is returned to will always be light energy as well. If we are able to continually release and receive pure light energy we become beings of light and transcend our physical bodies. Some do achieve this state. For the rest of us, we can strive to release as much light energy as we can. 9. Humans can choose to release and receive either light or heavy energy. We can either influence the nature of the energy being drawn into us through awareness and intention, or we will absorb whatever energy comes to us. This "random" absorption will be the result of karmic obligation. The cycle of releasing and absorbing energy is the key activity that defines our human existence. Light energy accepts everything. That is its nature so it will combine with lower frequencies if that is the intent of the person doing the release. Since intent can be conscious or not, it behooves us to be as conscious of our intent as possible. Cleansing is detaching the light energy from the lower vibrational heavy energy. Light energy is always present. We need but to look for it, and if desired, release the heavy energy. This can be done whenever heavy energy is present. Balancing the energetic body is not human time oriented. There is not necessarily an immediate "if then" causal relationship. It is also possible to have energy pulled from the energetic body rather than being released and this also creates an energy deficit. In both cases, balance will be restored but in human linear time; "when" a three dimensional question. In extra-dimensional being (beyond three dimensions), the "when" is irrelevant as "when" is always now. When energy is pulled externally from the energetic body, the pull occurs as a result of one person surrendering to the belief/emotional, heavy energy released by another person. That person's energy uses the shared emotionality or belief of the intended receiver to enter the energetic body displacing that person's light energy with heavy energy. The relevant understanding is that without control of the release of one's own energy, one's light energy can be displaced (an involuntary release) by the energy of someone else. The term "energy vampire" applies here. One person can feed on the energy of another by drawing that person into his own beliefs and emotionality. This is one of the principles that black magic employs. This also explains the phenomenon of being "scared to death." Out of extreme fear, a person has so much of his light energy released, that the life force is pulled from his body. 10. Spiritual evolution is a result of the choices made in releasing and receiving energy. The first major application of energetics in Spiritual evolution is in the domain of so-called "negative emotions" (or heavy energy). These are the defenses against abandonment that exist as reservoirs of "heavy energy" within the energetic body. Triggers that reflexively bring forward the defenses and their subsequent mental, emotional, and/or physical reactions release heavy energy. The resulting outward flow of energy from the energetic body causes a deficit in itself. In most of these instances (and they constitute most of our behavior), what is then returned to the energetic body (to achieve balance) is more heavy energy that keeps that reservoir of heavy energy filled and thus keeps the defensive "reflex" intact. A cycle is established that is self-sustaining. This cyclical process can be thought of as projection and karma. Until there is the intention and commitment to "drain" or substantially deplete these reservoirs of heavy energy, reconnection with the Divine within us (evolution) cannot be fully achieved. Eliminating a "negative emotion" reservoir involves draining the heavy energy reservoir and refilling it with light or refined energy. Heavy and light do not correspond to weight; the labels refer to the quality of the energy. Light energy is the vibration of love, and heavy energy is light energy that has had the element of "not love" attached to it. Thus, negative emotions are emotions that contain love but the love has been overlaid with antithetical expressions of not love. When most people are exposed to heavy energy, they do not experience the love component, only the "not love" overlay which is expressed as hate, anger, fear, frustration, bitterness, unhappiness, contempt, and so on. Draining a negative emotion reservoir occurs when light energy is drawn into the energetic body after the release of heavy energy. This can only occur through awareness that heavy energy was released and then giving intention to have light energy replace it. This means that purposeful draining of the heavy energy and replacement of it with light energy must occur; otherwise, the heavy energy reservoir stays intact awaiting the triggering of the abandonment defenses. This can be done in segments or it can be done all at once. The method is a matter of counseling or therapeutic model whether self-administered or performed by another person. NeoShamanism offers a very effective model for doing this. With respect to karma, a karmic obligation is a reservoir of heavy energy. A karmic obligation is an opportunity to learn that which moves someone closer to full reconnection with the Divine within. This full reconnection is accomplished through developing love of self that then transforms into love of the Higher Self. The reconnection can also be thought of as being with the Divine that exists in each of us and is manifested by the Higher Self. With respect to projection, whenever a person finds "fault" in someone else or some event, then he is "projecting" his own karmic obligation onto the person or the event. The person or event becomes a mirror in which can be seen the person's reservoir of heavy energy and thus is an excellent opportunity to have light energy flow into the deficit created by the release of the heavy energy. Otherwise, the karmic law of equal and opposite reaction will cause heavy energy to be returned to the person's energetic being and the reservoir is once more topped off. An example of the above is useful for developing the understanding. A shopper is in a store. A clerk who is rude and impatient is serving the shopper. The shopper then becomes rude and impatient, snaps at the clerk, and storms out of the shop. Let's understand what happened energetically using this model: Trigger
=> Clerk being rude How else might
this have played out if the shopper chooses a different reaction? A
shopper is in a store. A clerk who is rude and impatient is serving
the shopper. The shopper then becomes rude and impatient, reflects for
a moment, and acknowledges the clerk, "You are certainly busy today.
It must be frustrating trying to serve everyone at once…"
The clerk looks surprised, smiles, and visibly relaxes. The shopper
walks away content and harmonious. Now, let's reapply the model using
this scenario: Trigger
=>
Clerk being rude The only differences in the two applications of the model are in the last four steps that are bolded. In them, the shopper simply chooses to be compassionate and in doing so, karma around lack of compassion is reduced. Heavy energy has been replaced with light energy, and the person has moved closer toward self-love. Note that in the step labeled, "Deficit is created," the shift from unconscious to conscious choice. Choice was key in the transformation of the above example. We are beings of free will and self-determination. We have choice over what we do and say, and we can learn to have choice with our thoughts as well. In terms of energy release, actions use more energy than words, and words use more energy than thoughts, so in accepting and exercising our gift of choice, if we start with actions, we immediately gain access to our greatest expenditures of energy, and actions are the easiest way to manifest choice. The most difficult aspect of exercising choice is to realize that we do have a choice, every moment in every way; no one makes us do anything. Even in times of extreme coercion and threat, we still have choice. "Your money or your life!" may be extreme, but there is still an implied choice. The realization that there is always choice has great power. The power to decrease karmic obligation and increase self-love lies in the understanding and application of Energetics. The second major application of energetics is in the domain of co-creation, manifestation, or "bringing forth." Most of us manifest a great deal in life that is material, and we do so quite purposefully through our jobs, investments, crafts, and labor of all sorts. So why create an understanding about manifesting around Energetics? The reason is that our purposeful intentions around manifesting are probably not moving us in the direction of self-love; in fact, most of what we manifest may be moving us further away. As we release energy in setting our manifestations in motion, e.g., going to work, we create a deficit in our energetic being to allow the return of energy to us, the same as when we release any energy as discussed earlier. Conscious or unconscious intention is the act of releasing energy for the purpose of or creation or manifestation. As we intend (release) so shall we receive, or classically, as we sow, so shall we reap. For example, by going to work for someone, a person gives intention (consciously or not) to manifest wages, and in fact does get paid as money energy flows back into the person's energetic being and balance is restored. Wages or money is only one possible intention associated with working. There are countless others. For example, a person could give intention to manifest fulfillment in life as a result of working. This is a much broader intention than manifesting money and could very well include money as a component of contentment. Giving intention through awareness of what one is intending is much more powerful than unconscious intention which may attract energies that are not desired. For example, a friend of mine was strongly directed by spirit to write a book. For several days after receiving the message, she thought about the book and released energy through her thoughts and emotions, but she did not give intent as to what she wanted to come back to her and balance her energetic body. As a consequence she attracted unhealthy and undesirable foods on which she was gorging. When she shifted her attention to consciously ask for the creativity to begin working on the book, creative energy showed up, and the food cravings left almost immediately. Intentions that are not purposeful and not in one's best and highest interest can retard Spiritual evolution. "Be careful what you wish for because you may get it," is an age-old admonition. Modified for Energetics, the expression becomes, "Be careful what you intend, it may not result in what you want." When we give intention, we are specifying the "what and why" of our request. Although we may specify the "how, when, and where," the experience of many people will attest that often what we get is not what we thought would come forth. It is well to remember that intention (release) and manifestation (receive) are different applications of energy. After conscious intentional release, simply detach from the expectation of results. Apply the "trunk" understanding of patience, persistence, and methodicalness, and know that the results, whatever they may be including no apparent result at all, are in your Spiritual interest. This is the key to sustained faith. The most powerful intentions move us in the direction of self-love (reconnection with the Divine within). There are three characteristics of a powerful intention:
As we release energy associated with the intention, the energy contains characteristics that will return complementary energies to it that are the manifestation. All intentions (consciously or not) are released as energy and will attract other energies to the deficit that its release from the energetic body creates. It is the law of Energetics that this will happen. The understandings around Energetics are long and of a complex nature. Much of what you have read above will transfer to your energetic being and combine with your cellular structure to reemerge as you need it. Much of it will present itself in your opportunities for learning through the model of knowledge-experience-understanding-transformation. These understandings have presented you with knowledge. Now you can apply the knowledge as experiences and from them gain your own understandings. Before leaving the root system of the MeWe Tree, I wish to provide you with three simplified principles of Energetics:
