Human beings also function as energy nodes
within the ‘human grid’. We receive, store, and distribute energy amongst
ourselves. As open systems, energy is information, and vice-versa. In this
context it is important to realise that this energy can be used to fuel individual
self-development. The more focused a person’s thoughts, emotions, and
behaviour, the finer the quality of energy. Much of our energy is lost daily
through wasted emotions; when anger, fear, and other corruptive manifestations
become assertive and exaggerated. At all times the negative seeks to embolden
itself, to present itself as being greater than it is. Again, this is because
there is always less negative inside us at all times in comparison to the
positive. Thus, the negative needs to pretend it is worse than it actually is
if it is to have any chance of great influence over the person. This is
something to make ourselves constantly aware of: we can be food for the
negative as well as the positive. As in ecology, everything is someone else’s
food!
When confronted with an unpleasant event or issue
we can ask ourselves: ‘is this a problem or a situation?’ It may help to
remember that every problem is also a situation, but not every situation is a
problem. By finding out which is which we will have a better basis from which
to act upon. With an increase in information and awareness comes a parallel
increase in responsibility. We have a responsibility to ourselves, to others,
and to our earthly and cosmic environment. As each of us develops according to
our own capacity we may feel a strong desire to pass this on to others. Yet it
is important that we talk to others in accordance with their level of understanding. There are likely to be times when we
feel frustrated that other people are not ‘seeing’ things correctly; that they
are not ‘understanding’ the evident truths. In periods of chaotic change,
people often search for the tried and tested, the trusted and secure. For many,
notions of evolutionary transformation and energetic change will seem nothing
more than abstract fantasy: the hallucinations of a mind losing its
reality-grip. Fine: all things come to those in their own time. What is important is that necessary energy is not
needlessly wasted through vain or egoistic efforts. Frustration and haste can
easily eat away at one’s own energy reserves, resulting in the person becoming
less effective and functional. This is of no benefit to anyone. As in all
endeavours, preparation and timing are essential factors. As Ali (fourth Caliph
of Islam) is credited as saying: ‘Three things once gone are gone forever: the
word spoken in haste; the arrow once sped from the bow; the missed
opportunity’.
Increased acceleration of events is upon us, yet
haste will be against us. A spiritual renaissance in the minds and hearts of
more and more people will spread as physical events unfold to reveal their duplicity.
In this awakening let us be assured that when we strive to develop and lift
ourselves, we indirectly yet significantly also lift our world and those around
us. In essence, spiritual realization is about realizing the spirit of others.
Everything will change. Yet humanity will continue,
albeit in a different way. Our material structures will change, be transformed,
and from this we will have the opportunity to become more human. These are the
words of Maya indigenous elders who have anticipated these changes for a long
time. It is time for a renewal of the spirit. By this, it is not meant that people
should flock to spiritual doctrines. The true spirit is within the heart of
each person, and is the responsibility of each person to find their own
contact. Each pathway of experience is unique to every person for there are as
many ways to the spiritual centre as there are people’s hearts. Nor is the true
spirit one of contemplation alone, for the spiritual ideal of our era now is
one of considerate action. And through this action, things will change. How
difficult or easy these changes will be depends much upon the response of each
person. What is important is not the event itself but rather how each person
deals with it. The changes we face may be out of our hands, yet each of us has
the power to choose how we respond to them.
Willaru Huayta, a spiritual messenger in the Inca tradition, has been
travelling the globe telling people that 'The world is at a critical point of
transition, which is highlighted by the crisis in spiritual and moral
principles. Nationality is no longer important...Human truth is one. The most
important thing now is to awaken the consciousness in a positive form.[i]
