Help Through Our Changing Times
Part 11
Dear Fellow Traveler,
In the last episode of
this series we looked at energy and what part crystals can play in
helping you to gain a better understanding of how things work. I hope
that you have had a chance to experiment for yourself or are at least
giving the idea some thought in your quiet times or when you
meditate.
In this lesson I want
to expand on the whole subject of your part in manipulating energy
whether you are conscious of it or not. To this end, I want to engage
your imagination so as to help in not only visualizing what I want
you to become much more aware of, but to actually 'feel' it as well.
After all, feelings are simply another manifestation of energy which
then creates a certain aspect to the dimension of your experience.
At the moment, these
may appear to be merely words and I understand, so let's look a
little deeper into things if you are prepared to take a step forward
and through a door which may have been closed to you up to this point
on your journey.
Imagine an empty room
in your home. It could be your present home or another one which you
have fond memories of. In this room there is a TV which has been left
on and the only living soul who is aware of it is a cat. On the
channel which the TV has been left set to, there is a suspense
thriller playing out. It's now got to the part where things are
getting very scary and the music is going crazy while the victim is
screaming so loud that it can be heard a block away. The cat looks on
while being fascinated by all the moving images but is only actually
trying to figure out if there is anything worth chasing or eating. It
really doesn't care about anything else.
Just as the scene
builds to a deafening crescendo, you walk in the room and the cat
looks around to see what's going on; as it might be more interesting
than what's on TV. You see the scene and instantly react or maybe you
ignore it to a certain degree. Maybe someone else with you doesn't
and then you get caught up in the drama while the cat could care
less.
Conversely, the cat
could have been watching a Disney movie or a nature program with some
attractive scenes but it's motivation would have been the same as
watching the suspense program. Your reaction on coming into the room
would have been different but nonetheless you would have had some
sort of feelings about what was going on if you decided to pay
attention to it.
Now, lets look at
what's really happening. Let's go behind the TV and see that there is
actually nothing there apart from a bunch of wires coming into it. So
where exactly is all the stuff that you see on the screen? How does
it get there and are the people and animals real? How can they be
when they aren't actually inside the TV? Answer.....you make them
real. You believe they are real because that's what you have been
conditioned to believe. It's simply one way that you have been led to
gather energy and then use it. The cat, on the other hand, hasn't
been conditioned in this way and so it disregards most everything
which is going on. You come into the room and the cat sees you as
being real but to the cat the TV is just meaningless colorful moving
images in its feline world. It has no emotions towards it one way or
another.
What comes through the
TV cable is energy. Nothing else. Inside the TV is s bunch of silicon
and copper which has been programmed to turn the incoming energy into
moving images of light. That's all it is. Light energy that has been
converted from electrical energy but it's all just electromagnetic
energy at the end of the day. To your eye it's reality and you react
according to how you have been conditioned, but really, all that's
happening is that you are putting a value on the light energy and
then feeling something as as result. The cat doesn't. It's more
interested in you, its immediate world and its continued comfortable
survival. So why aren't you? What's the difference between you and
the cat?
You could argue that
humans are more intelligent than animals and yet, they don't believe
that moving light images created by a bunch of silicon and wires is
anything to get all worked up about. The cat is not affected by the
energy but you are. If you follow the intelligence argument to
justify your reactions then it must surely follow that your mind is
totally responsible for interpreting the light energy which comes at
you. Not only that but the sound energy too. It's all just energy but
you firstly have the choice of how to process that energy and then
you have the choice of how to react to what you have decided that it
means to you.
The whole world around
you is composed of energy which you are reacting to each and every
moment of your life. Your intellect chooses to determine the quality
of that energy and then you react to it in ways which are very often
rooted in your unconscious through years of conditioning.
The turn of the eras
from one to another has brought with it a revelation. It has been the
end of time but not as it has been heralded by the media and other
sources. Now is the time when we are able to see things more clearly.
We have woken up, but in so doing we are confused. Why? Because we
have been so used to simply reacting to familiar energies coming at
us that we don't know how to react in any other way. Or so we think.
For confirmation of
this then go back to the room and sit with the cat while feeling what
it's like to watch the TV through the eyes of an animal. Remember
while doing this that the cat is also very aware of its surroundings
at all times and so the TV is not its sole focus of attention by any
means. The moving images and sound do not draw it in, especially the
sound. So, let's turn the sound off. How scary is the movie now? How
much do you feel the urge to hear what's being said and to hear the
screams. Or should I more accurately say, the converted energy of the
screams which have been created in a studio and never really happened
in real life? Would you have the same reaction now?
No, of course not. So
why do you get so wrapped up in it? You turn the sound off and things
change. So then, what if you were to apply this to your life and then
take a step back while assessing how things looked from a different
perspective. Try seeing the world through the eyes of a cat while
appreciating the magic which is all around you and not the distorted,
contrived, manipulating energy which comes racing at you each day.
Practice holding the energy of your attention at bay until you have
had a chance to really appreciate just what an effect it is having on
you but, more importantly, getting to appreciate whether you want it
to influence you in the way that it has been designed to – and I do
mean 'designed' to.
You are constantly
being manipulated by a world which wants you to consume. You are a
fully fledged consumer where energy is the common commodity. It's
time to take back control of your own energy and to fully understand
that you have the ability to discriminate between beneficial and
non-beneficial energies. In so doing you then get to decide, in a
more conscious process, which you wish to influence you and which you
don't. In this way you will be creating a new way of beginning to see
things as they really are and in doing so you will emerge out from
under the influence of others who want to impose their will on you.
Taking control bit by bit will launch you onto the pathway of finding
your true self where, having done so, no one will have any control
over you from that point on. You will be able to view the TV in the
same way as the cat but, if you choose to go for a scary ride or a
pleasant and exciting one, then you can do so in the consciousness of
appreciating that it's for your entertainment only where your
feelings are completely under your control.
It's time to get off
the ride that we have been on for so long as the game is up. We have
been given the ability to see what's truly going on as we were
shifted out of the darkness on 12/21/2012. This was the true miracle
but we just don't see it as yet. We will become increasingly aware as
time progresses but right now we need something to point the way as
the new dawn breaks in earnest.
Don't be disheartened
by what has apparently not happened. What actually did happen was far
far greater and much more wonderful than anything that we could have
imagined or hoped for. We are awake and we have a new way of living
which is simply waiting for us to take advantage of it if only we
will step through the door and into a new world of our creating.
Energy is the key. Controlling our energy and how it affects us is
the way to find the lock.
In love and light as
always
Mary
