Wanderings' Wanderings

So here we are.  Floating through space on a round ball of goo, which at some point in our history coagulated, solidified, and developed life: us.  That’s about how it happened though I’m sure there were other catastrophic events between the creation of everything we know, and our own mortal existence.  The point is simply that we can no more separate ourselves from this earth than a leopard can change its’ spots.  We are born to this world, and no other, yet we go on destroying it because we are the superior ones and know what we are doing.  Right?

When I first started working with energy healing way back in the early 1980′s, I began a path of understanding that the energy I work with does not come from within me, but is something I tap into and to which we are all connected.  There is a “life force energy”, a “Rei” “Ki” which permeates every living creature, every rock, every non-natural made object, literally every thing on, in, and around our planet, solar system, and universe.  The notion we are alone, separated, and detached from everything around us is utter nonsense and not worth the time it takes to think of such a thing.

When we use energy healing of any sort, we tap into something greater than our own individual-ness, and reach for the unknown quantity.  We touch the very fabric of existence, but seldom if ever do we carry that experience of the unknown into our personal lives.  Seldom do we ever connect that universal flow of energy to our own lives or see the connective threads binding all things together.  We heal, then we go back to our everyday life.

Humanity seems bound by the limitation it sets on itself; one where the individual is the center of the universe and where self-centered egoism becomes the guiding force for how we judge everything, and everyone around us.  We expect things to change to suit our needs, and often look outside ourselves for that change, seldom thinking about how our actions affect those around us, or how our needs may conflict with someone else’s.

In a sense, we become separatists.  We externalize the world and universe around us.  We keep at arms length the notion that we have a responsibility to, and for everything around us.  Though the connective thread which binds us to everything around us never breaks, we grow and develop never giving it a second thought; until it directly affects our own microcosm.

Even when our own personal worlds are affected by some external force, we leave the fixing of our own private worlds to someone we deem as better able to handle such matters.  We give up our own ability to effect change, charge someone else to fix what ever has gone wrong, and then gripe and moan when said thing does not get fixed or becomes worse.

We are too busy thinking everyone else around us are monsters for creating a dying environment that we never bother to look in the mirror to see what it is we have done, or what we haven’t done to fix the world around us.  In that regard, we all become monsters because it is everyone’s fault, not just the guy who was in charge.

But how does this relate to energy healing?

Because we are all connected with everything around us.  Our energy is created from everything we consume, everything we expel, and everything we do. We know dust can travel thousands of miles, so when you cut a piece of wood to put up in your home, the dust from the saw has the potential to affect someone thousands of miles away from you.

That doesn’t mean you should stop what you are doing, but hopefully at some point human kind will become aware that what we do has a direct influence on the world around us.

It is however, important to remember that we are energy and energy can not be created or destroyed.  It can only change to other forms.

At this moment in time, at this very place where we are, this is all we have.  We do not have another planet we can fly off to if we should accidentally kill this one.  We do not have the resources to start over again and hope people will change.  This is it: we live in the here and now!

As citizens of this earth, we are bound, together with our host, to ensure this world lives.  It is all we can do because we are totally dependent on this world for our own existence.

We must give up the attitude that we are the omnipotent ones.  We must give up our notions of superiority over the world around us.  Without the life this world offers, we wouldn’t even be here.
