DISEASE AND HUMAN ENERGY

Certain dis-eases will melt before an expanding consciousness;
Some will not.
If we get sick,
Cure might not always be on the menu:
Healing, however, is always available.
A conscious approach to existing ill-ness
Can only benefit from an experience
Of how energies are balanced,
And how they get out of balance.
But there are energies moving around and through us
That we may not be aware of.....

Everything, concrete and abstract, is energy --
Thought (as distinct from "thoughts") in motion.
Carrier waves of energy
Bathe us all the time
Whether we're tuned in to them or not.

We're familiar with abstract energies like thought and feeling,
But they morph, interact and get organised into other forms of energy
That affect us
And, therefore, we would do well to be aware of.......

Ideas, concepts, opinions, beliefs, ideals and dreams are all energetic forms.
There are also other fields of energy that we swim in
And that flow through us --
Like social consciousness,
And collective human energies
Like cultural mores, religious, ethical and moral imperatives;
Cosmic energies, galactic energies, solar energies, lunar energies
Soul-ar-memory and cellular-memory energies......
These energies directly and indirectly affect us and our behaviour:
Energies that we don't know about,
And don't know that we don't know.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that this realisation should spook you,
Or drag you into some new obsession;
They are intrinsically neither benevolent nor malevolent
They only become a health hazard if we resist them.
There's nothing to be done
But become, and now remain, aware of their existence.
Whilever we are not aware of them
We are bouncing around inside them
And feeling, maybe, out of sorts and quite uncomfortable,
And never quite knowing why.

To be unaware
Is to be at the whim of the un-known.

Often, what we're observing in and around us
Is the secondary results of energy on the move
(Like a wave of relief, or a spate of violence)
And we plug into those overt events and phenomena
That are the positive symptoms of energy allowed,
Or the negative symptoms of energy misdirected.
But we ignore the energy itself.

Dis-regarding or resisting the core energy
Can result in intense emotional discomfort
That, unattended, may lead to
Physical and mental dis-ease.

While human interaction is happening,
I am training myself to look at the same time,
Beyond the foreground human content of a situation,
To look into the "what-else" of what's going on,
To feel into the dynamics of the greater energy that is empowering it
And the individual or collective reaction to it.
I'm learning to pull focus back and forth
Between the foreground and the background,
The content and the context,
Learning to allow the secondary and tertiary reactions to pass on through,
And to surf instead the swells of energy underlying them
As creatively as I can.

The result?
Amidst all the pain, the shakes, the emotional upheavals and the uncertainty
Resulting from my recent surgery,
I have never felt at the same time
So alive, so energised
And deliriously happy that I can still feel this way.
