.:|:. Dove Love’s .:. Points and Passions .:|:.

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  I “play” with a regular deck of cards here at work through the day, using it like the Tarot. I find it so interesting that I’ve now manifested two consecutive jobs with enough “down time” to do this at my desk — both in private for the most part, and with my employers’ consent, as long as my job gets done in the interim :)

Anyway, yesterday I was amazed at all the Jacks I was drawing. At one point, and I don’t think I’ve ever done this before, I did a 3-card spread (past, present, future) and all three were Jacks. Some see the Jacks like Knights in the Tarot, but I see them more like the Pages. The Pages can be about new beginnings, but I was reading last night that they are also about CHANGE. And this aligns with the other messages I’ve been getting. I’m at work and a guy just walked in with an “11″ on the back of his tee shirt.  I take that as a confirmation of that last statement, which I had just typed. The 11/2 is my Life Path number…

I’m still pulling Jacks today, it kinda freaks me out — anticipating change. I can see certain changes are in the works, good changes. Very good. I’m eager for many areas of my life to improve/change, and they are, have been, slowly but surely.  I have to admit, it’s kinda scary…but I’m still so eager for certain things to change…so eager.  The fear aspect of it brings to mind another card I’ve been drawing out the wazoo for what seems like months now, the King of Cups.  That card often represents repeating old patterns, and I’m thinking that he “pops up” around those times when good change is “threatening” to happen, heh  “He” seems to want to keep not-so-good things the way they are… 

Hmm, someone just called and said the word, “Scorpion.”  That’s a totem I’ve gotten many times right before significant change has happened in my life.  More fearful feelings cropping up with that.  The Scorpion may well be one of my main totems.  I’ve even been stung by one — right before my whole life changed in a big way, but it was good change…er, ultimately.  Note, ya’ don’t want to be stung by a scorpion, very painful!  (I like to tell people that I have scorpion blood now, heh-heh)  And it was just a baby one — AND it stung my “baby” (little) finger.  The “Fool” (baby) Tarot card comes to mind with that … it happened right before I became a “baby” in the metaphysical world :)  

Here’s an excerpt from the first Scorpion totem interpretation I came upon in googling just now…(Very on-point.)

===============

The Fierce Scorpion Totem possesses the following virtues: Metamorphosis, openness to change, mystery, independence, self-protection, endurance, ferocity, self-possession, fearlessness, power of passion, masterful presence, magnetic personality, determination, personal intensity, willpower, tenacity, forcefulness, tranquility and dignity.

================================

Ah, the Jeep.  Yesterday, late afternoon, after having pulled all those Jacks, there was a red Jeep parked outside and on the back of it, there was the coolest-looking wheel cover on the spare.  As soon as I saw it, it grabbed me — it was totally a giant “Death” card.  I know that’s an in-style theme nowadays, and that’s something I would have had a strong aversion to in the past.  But having used the Tarot for so long, I am now much more comfortable with it, and any other “death” symbol, which atually represents ANY kind of transformation (big change) in one’s life — not just a physical death, which is rarely the meaning.  Some newer Tarot decks opt for calling it “Transformation” instead of “Death.”

This life-sized ”Transformation” card on the back of the Jeep, it was really a very attractive image of a skeleton, lol   I loved it, it looked great with the red Jeep.  And then I noticed the skeleton had red hair, which is the color of my hair :)  Talk about a mucho blatant message…”You’re in for some mega-change, girlie.”  But not only did the image not spur fear in me, I actually loved it — that speaks of good change.  Even so, seeing a giant “Death” card … that’s wild.  And this after pulling all the Jacks — at one point, I even pulled a Jack in response to “What are all the Jacks about?” lol ;) 

I’m also considering that this has something to do with my anger, which calls itself “Jack.” :)  I see Jack as my “fire,” and I’ve created some amazing things strongly fueled by “him,” including one of my favorite MS Paint pics, “Fire in the Belly.”  But like I’ve said in other posts, like fire, we have to be very careful in using that kind of power (see Scorpion excerpt above, “power of passion”).  But also like fire, there’s nothing else like it, and it is a gift to be honored/respected and appreciated — not hated, denied and pushed down.  It will harm and destroy ONLY when we treat it in that disrespectful way…like fire.

Okay, well, I went off on a lot of winding roads there, but perhaps it all ties together.  It seems certain that big change is on its way in my life — and perhaps for those who are reading this :)  And for sure our world is in store for some major change.  I’m holding to the belief that it will all be for the better.

Peace,
Dove

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  I know it’s not a particularly attractive bird, but the Vulture is, oddly enough, called “the peace eagle.”  I just learned that yesterday.  This totem came to me in a big way yesterday. 

We were having this event at work, a few hundred people were congregated outside.  I was sitting at my desk, but I’m right at the front and can see everything outside (glass walls).  The event was about to conclude, and all of a sudden this massive number of vultures appeared over the crowd.  I tried to count them, but they were swirling around and it was just too many to count.  I’d guess maybe 10 or 15 vultures.

Vulture Totem Interpretations…

Death and Rebirth
New Vision

The Vulture is the symbol of death and rebirth,
the mother symbol,
and represents purification.
For those with this totem,
you will be noticed more for what you do than
how you appear.

Vulture or Condor
teaches us how to soar above our limitations.
It is linked to the Griffin.
This Totem is a permanent totem; once it enters your life
it will be with you always, through your numerous lifetimes.

You may start to see auras and colors around people;
Vulture can help teach you how to accomplish this through patience and vision.

Vultures teach you how to soar without using much energy,
how to ride the thermal winds instead of flapping.
Go with the flow.
Use your own energy powerfully and efficiently.

Vulture is associated with the sense of smell and aromatherapy is a good tool
to use to connect with this Totem.

The Vulture promises us that no matter how difficult things are at the moment,
rescue and change are imminent.

Soar above the drudgeries of every day life through spirit.
And Vulture/Condor is there to protect you in this journey.

====================

It freaked me out, because that’s the Universe speaking to me in a big way.  I’ve gotten the vulture totem in the past, but it was usually just one or two of them.  Geez, it makes me wonder what’s about to happen.  The date I’d been getting on “Magic Monday” is rapidly approaching and I’m wondering if this totem is pointing to this day.  It also reminds me of the message I’d gotten earlier this year about “pain, resurrection and then peace,” as well as the recent dream with the camels and the fox.

I’m not thrilled about the need for more pain in my healing journey, but I got another message last night that may have been pointing to that “pain,” and it’s aligned with what I figured this previous message spoke of.  I’ve had this one book for years and have been trying to get myself to read it recently.  It’s about healing one’s eyesight naturally, it’s called “Take Off Your Glasses and See” by Jacob Liberman.  (Note: In no way did the mention of “new vision” in the above Vulture totem interpretation spur me to this book on healing one’s eyesight — in fact, I just noticed that synchronicity in posting it here today.)

Last night I finally picked it up.  I did as I often do with books, before opening, I asked to be shown the most important part in the book for me at this time.  When I opened it, there was an emphasis on the importance of both pages.  Here’s a potent excerpt from those pages, the first thing I read on the left page…

======================

 …”we spend years resisting exactly what we need in order to cure our ‘nonexistent incurable disorders.’ 

Since we spend many years avoiding those difficult feelings, it can be quite a challenge at first to acknowledge them.  However when we begin to feel them fully, painful, self-defeating emotional patterns actually do begin to shift.  Emotional healing seems to take place as we allow ourselves to feel our deepest pain.  You could say that this process is like allowing a fever to run its course rather than suppressing it with aspirin.”

==================

It seems apparent to me that this is the pain that was referenced in that earlier message.  I feel like I have scratched the surface of feeling this pain, but there’s so much from my past… It’s overwhelming.  And my anger seems to be what I’m most able to bring up … I don’t think I’ve ever allowed myelf to feel grief and related emotions …  That’s probably because I feel strong when I feel my anger, and like most people, I very much don’t like feeling vulnerable and weak, as those other emotions seem to represent.  Ya’ know, “strong” people just “shake off” those types of things, like an idiot told me in the past, heh  { Update:  In re-reading this, I’d very much like to delete that last statement per the “idiot” thing, but I prefer to be honest, to allow myself to have that honest expression, and to give less of a damn what people think of me for it.  To those who would judge me for being so “imperfect,” bite me, I’m human…oh, and have a nice day, lol ;) }

A little synchronicity with the aspirin.  A guy yesterday during the above-mentioned event came up to me, said he had a headache, and asked me if I had an aspirin…  I had a great day yesterday, but kept seeing the number 5 a lot.  I turned back to see the title of the chapter where I’d opened the eyesight book.  It is Chapter 5, “Seeing Through the Fear”  I had a terrible anxiety attack last night, lasting a few hours, as usual.  As enjoyable as the event was yesterday, I never realize that such things, the number of people, the energy of it all, are overwhelming me… 

More from the two pages…

=========================

“Think of the last time you felt really uncomfortable.  Recall that feeling as vividly as you can.  Re-experience it as completely as possible.  What happened to trigger that feeling? What was your automatic response?”

=====================

Geez, I could think of several of these moments yesterday.  About the only time I don’t feel them is when I’m alone.  When I first arrived at work, a girl that relieves me for breaks was at my desk and the guys were around the desk chatting with her.  I felt threatened.  Why the hell was she at my desk at this time of day? (I do like her and there was a good reason that she was there.)  …  But I didn’t show my insecure feelings, quite the contrary.  I exuded confidence, chimed right in with the conversation, was joking around, and immediately got everyone to laughing.  Even so, that was likely the first “straw” on the camel’s back of my anxiety attack last night.  Then my boss seemed like he was angry with me (of course, I always think that, lol), and I often think this just because he walks passed my desk without speaking (several times per day, he’s busy for gawd’s sake!).  Geez.  And when guys, especially strangers – or just people — get close to me.  And when this one guy from the event yesterday was “hitting” on me, trying to get me to go out with him, very uncomfortable.  I never know what to say when I totally don’t want to go out with someone, a very unnerving situation for me…  Lordy, everything makes me UNCOMFORTABLE.  An intuitive in my past told me that I’m pretty much always in “fight or flight” mode…  I’ve just learned to live with it.  So where do ya’ start with all those uncomfortable situations?  Overwhelming.  I think that’s why I don’t.

What concerns me though is by not doing so, I fuel the likelihood of repeating painful patterns.  More from the pages…

=========================

“Like vision problems, our most uncomfortable feelings are chronic.  They keep coming back until we realize that the problem isn’t outside ourselves, in the other person or the external events.  The outside events simply create a resonance, a self-recognition, in our vibrational field.  …

“Now think back to that painful experience or any other difficult experience with a strong emotional charge.  Have those feelings come up again since then?  How long did it take before you had those feelings again?  Then, no matter what changes you decided to make after the first experience, did you eventually get into another situation that felt similar? 

Usually before you know it, you become involved in another experience with the same feeling.  This cycle can continue indefinitely.  How can we learn to shift out of those blocked places?  Sometimes it seems that the harder we try, the more stuck we feel.  But there is a remedy:  awareness. 

…  Awareness is simply a matter of experiencing every moment of life as fully as possible.  Greater awareness does not happen when we try to pay close attention — that effort actually requires a narrowing of one’s focus.  True awareness is an expansive, effortless process. 

Humans have developed a variety of wonderful tricks to avoid being “in the moment.”  Eastern gurus say that the majority of our mental and physical activities arise from the urge to distract ourselves from our awareness rather than out of any truly purposeful need.  I’ve found that the desire to avoid seeing life fully (and therefore feeling life fully) is also the fundamental origin of vision problems.  Most people become bored, anxious, or uncomfortable when they have to sit quietly for even a few minutes … those disconcerting feelings are why we continually seek distractions, and why the Eastern spiritual traditions place so much emphasis on meditation.”

=============================

Hmmm, this reminds me of a guy I know who can’t sit still for 5 minutes.  I’m sadly so much like that guy, and that being the case, I’ve got a lot of healing to do, lol ;)  This morning I was looking at a “coffee table” book I’m going to give to a friend at work next week.  I kept looking for this one beautiful picture that I like so much.  I couldn’t find it, it was annoying, I fanned through the book several times looking for it to no avail.  Finally, I stopped my wild searching and with a nano-second’s worth of energy, asked to be directed to the pic that I sought.  I closed the book and, as always, I poked a fingernail into the book’s pages randomly.  I opened it to a lovely picture of purple flowers.  I said, “No, I like this picture, but it’s not the one.”  I turned the page (one page) and there it was, the beautiful picture I had been seeking :) 

Hmmm, the answers are so close, we just need to settle down from all our fearing and wild seeking, and just ask, and trust that our healing, the beauty, is just a page away ;)

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  Watching ole Charlton Heston (damn, he’s good) play Moses in that movie, “The Ten Commandments.”   A movie I’ve seen so many times since I was a kid.  I’ve always liked it, only now it’s a blessing that I no longer feel even a hint of fear in watching it, unlike when I was a bible-pounding kid.  I see it so differently now…

That line jumped out at me that the Pharaoh spoke.  He was angry that “the slave’s god” was clearly kicking their god’s ass, lol ;)  And to his priests or whatever, he angrily said something like, “You created the gods — to play upon the fear of the people.”  Indeed, all “gods” are fabricated for this reason.  That’s probably the best and most telling line of the movie.

Sitting here watching this, good-gawd, no wonder most people are so horrified of “God.”  Another line that got me, Moses telling his former love that he couldn’t save her child (firstborn of the Pharaoh) because he was “nothing without God.”  Again, no wonder with such things spoken in this type of movie — watching it over and over, year after year (more people watching it than reading the bible) — no wonder we are so self-loathing.  No wonder our world looks the way it does, no wonder we endeavor to destroy it, ourselves.  We believe we are nothing.  So sad. 

It’s all so misconstrued, twisted around into BS — “to play upon the fear of the people.”  No, Moses is nothing without “God,” because Moses IS “God.”  We all are, this is what Moses meant.  This body is a shell, nothing — it is the “spirit” within that is real, is “God.”  And it is us who have personified this thing called ”God” into a fiery-eyed one, separate from us — who supposedly loves us one minute, but is highly wrathed up about us the next. 

The scene that really gets me in the gut is where they are eating the herbs and bread.  Sitting there hearing (trying to ignore) the unnerving cries from a distance of the mothers and fathers watching their children die.  One man in the house with Moses’ is singing!  Yee-haw, rejoice — God’s green stuff is killing children!  Good-gawd.  And then the woman (mother of the Pharaoh, former mother of Moses) is pained by the cries and says, “They’re my people.”  Another of Moses’ people leans over to her and says sweetly, “We’re all God’s people.”  Uh.  It’s okay, hon, God knows what he’s doing in killing those children.  Geez.

When ya’ know it’s all symbolic, this movie is so much easier to watch — yet, at the same time, unnerving in the realization that so many of us believe this represents literal truth.  Moses says that he cannot save the Pharaoh’s firstborn, that the Pharaoh brought it upon himself with HIS OWN WORDS.  Not God’s words, but the Pharaoh’s own words.  Meaning, we create our own reality.  The Pharaoh wished this upon others, and since we are all God, he wished it upon himself… (”karma”)

All the children supposedly being killed by the green death-smoke — it wasn’t about death, it was about transformation.  Again, symbolic.  Interestingly, green is the color of the heart chakra, it’s about healing, it’s about love.  We “die” to (become free of) our old selves when we heal our hearts, and we become something new (transformation, aka, “death”). 

And the absurdity of this Pharaoh not letting the people go after Moses shows him some heady stuff from our “God” :)  I mean, geez, he changed the water to frickin’ blood, even the container of water that the Pharaoh held.  No water for seven days, then the three days of darkness, and that cool fiery hail ;)  How stupid could the Pharaoh be to not give Moses whatever the hell he wanted, lol   Not reality — it is all symbolic messages.   The Pharaoh represents our fear, and how our fear has an irrational death-grip on us (”let my people go.”)  And we allow our fear to have this hold on us — represented by Moses leaving each time.

It’s ALL about us, collectively, and individually.  We are very much NOT “nothing,” we are God :)  We are both Moses and the Pharaoh — it is fear, and only fear, that enslaves us.  We need only to “worship” (love) and believe in the “God” that is within us, that is us.  We need only to face the ”Pharaoh” (fear) within us and set ourselves free from it.  Only then will we truly “know God” (love and trust our own hearts) and get to “heaven” (peace, and creating the blissful lives we desire). 

*Yawn*  It’s time to wake up, to snap out of the brainwashing, the fear, that has kept us as slaves.  ”Fear not.”  “There is NOTHING to fear, but fear itself.”  (Pharaoh = Fear, Moses = Love, Freedom)

“Let my people go.”

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  I’ve been getting the Owl totem today in a big way.  First this morning upon arriving to work.   I had to go around to the back entrance and noticed a large, um, thing shaped like an owl… I was just asking about it, and was told that it was placed back there to hopefully scare away some pigeons that had been nesting in the eaves.  He said it didn’t work, heh

Then a little bit ago, I noticed an email in one of my two main email boxes that had “Owl” in the subject line.  I then went to check my other email, and after a few minutes of scanning, I received another email and “Owl” was in the subject line — again, this is a totally different email from the other, and this email was not at all related to the other one.  So, very interesting…especially since it hasn’t been that long, maybe a couple of weeks ago, that I had an actual owl visit me about midnight, bringing its message with its soft little hoot outside my window…  It was a wonderful message of “magic” and very good change for me.

So here she is again.  Hmmm.  The Owl can be about being silent, so I hesitate sharing my thoughts here…  But in drawing cards (Tarot) on it, I’m getting good things, and certain cards keep repeating themselves. 

Another interesting bit of “magic” this morning.  At the same time that this guy walked through the front door, I noticed a hawk flying high just outside the door.  It was like the hawk was with this guy.  (The Hawk can be about meeting one’s “soulmate” or life partner.)  I even said to him as he came in, “Hey look, a hawk.” :)  He seemed eager to look, lol  He made a point to extend his hand to me before he left and ask me my name.  “Pretty name,” he said.  His name kinda spurred me.  Oddly enough, I was told by an “intuitive” a bunch of years ago that this would be my life partners name.  And then he told me where he lived, several states from here.  But the name of the town intrigued me.  It wasn’t that particular town, but I’ve long intuitively felt this place, with this same name, was somehow significant to me.  We chatted for a minute more.  The hawk appeared again, swirling around high up in the sky, as he walked out the door and off they both went :) 

No, I don’t think this guy is my “soulmate,” but the synchronicity, and the bit of “magic” with the hawk is intriguing.  Maybe just the Universe giving me signals that the energy of this area of my life may be stirring a bit right now.  I have gotten a lot of other indications that this is the case.  But also still getting that “be patient” message, that the Universe seems to especially hold dear, heh ;) 

Here are few interpretations for the Owl totem…  (see source links below)

Note, this second interpretation is an excerpt, and if you read the rest of the article, you’ll see that this person mentions that the hoot of an owl predicts a “death.” Let me interject that this, like with the Death card in the Tarot is not to be feared, because it is a rare incidence for either to predict an actual physical death. A “death” is actually the same thing as a “birth.”  In fact, this Tarot card is often referenced as the “Death/Rebirth” card…  It simply represents transformation from one thing to another. The end of one thing is always the beginning of another. The hoots from the owl I was visited by a few weeks ago did predict a “death,” but not a physical one.  It was actually a CHANGE that I was looking forward to. The end of something I was ready to end, and the beginning of something I was eager to begin. See? Nothing to fear :) “Deaths” happen to us every day all day long. The dark of night represents the ”death” of the day, and the birth of the night. Sunrise, the death of the night, the birth of the day… So when ya’ hear that word “death,” always remember, that it’s just a natural on-going part of this amazing life. One door closes, another door opens…always.   The Universe (and Owl totem) doesn’t distinguish any of it, it’s just transformation, and it’s giving us messages about it.  And physical death is no different, our spiritual energy never dies, so that too is another “rebirth.”  We simply move on to our next adventure ;)

Peace,
Dove

Update:  Hmmm, noticed another synchronicity.  I only scanned these interpretations before posting them, and I just noticed the mention of “cactus” in this first one.  My very last post before this one had “cactus” in the title and for the plural I indicated “cacti” and how it sounds like “cact-eye” — a reference to seeing.  Intriguing.  Also in that post, I mention the Two of Swords and how I learned that it can represent not seeing clearly.   And this very much overlaps this Owl totem.  If I would trust my intuition, I would see that this speaks of how I’m seeing a certain person (mentioned him in that post).  Even as this person repeatedly lied to me in the past, when I was “involved” with him, I still couldn’t get myself to hold onto the reality of his deception.  And this EVEN as he had told me early on (I thought he was joking) that he was a “manipulative bastard.”  Geez, we women can be so detached from our intuition (as well as just good ole common sense) when it comes to men, and the lowliest among them take full advantage of that…  It does seem the Owl, and these other “signs” are endeavoring to help me to trust my intuition/wisdom on this.  It’s strange though, even as I type that, my logical self says “duh,” it’s blatantly obvious…and yet my heart STILL doesn’t want to believe it.  And I even understand it, I understand the “pattern” …   But ya’ know, experiencing things like this make us less judgmental of those who are seemingly doing “stupid” things, despite seeming otherwise intelligent.  It’s not about intelligence, it’s about acting from our unhealed places, continuing our miserable patterns that keep us in “hell.”  When we can overcome those (so very challenging), only then will we find “heaven” (peace)….hmmm, peace, that too is reflected in the Two of Swords.  It seems to suggest that overcoming our inability to see clearly (Two of Swords) will bring us peace (Two of Swords.)  Yeah, that makes sense, it is a “war” within when we can’t decide what the truth is.  This is why “closure” is so important — it makes clear what that truth is so as to make it possible to accept it and move on, which ultimately brings peace.  Otherwise that war within just keeps raging on…

====================================

Owl: deception, clairvoyance, insight (the night eagle)

Owls come in all sizes, from a tiny miniature that actually lives inside the cactus in the desert, to the great horned owl, which is the only bird that can out fly the golden eagle. A fully grown great horned is an awe inspiring creature. Its talons are furry, and closely resemble the paws of a baby mountain lion with claws extended. It is a meat eater, which means it can be a fierce warrior if challenged, or if something dear to it is threatened. It is often referred to as Night Eagle. Owl is at home in the night. It has great awareness of all that is around it at all times. It has predator vision, which means it sees clearly what it looks at. It has great intuition: it is the totem of psychics and clairvoyants. It has the courage to follow its instincts. Owl’s medicine includes seeing behind masks, silent and swift movement, keen sight, messenger of secrets and omens, shape-shifting, link between the dark, unseen world and the world of light, comfort with shadow self, moon power, freedom.

The Owl Totem

The Owl Totem indicates magic and omens, knowledge and of course, great wisdom. They are creatures of the night and the moon. Owls figure into many myths and legends. They have many names in many cultures; the American Indian tribe, the Cherokee’s called them Uguuk, the Russians Sovah, and the Ecuadorians call them Huhua. They are the spirit and animal totem of Athena the Goddess of Wisdom and she was often portrayed with an Owl perched upon her shoulder.   

So much myth and legend surrounds the mighty Owl that it is impossible to list them all with any brevity. The Native Americans associate the Owl with magic, astral travel, and clairvoyance. They have the power to see what is unseen. Shaman, witches and sorcerers were very fond of the Owl as a totem and spiritual guide. Owls are said to be able to see through deception to the truth contained beneath the lies.  Indian folklore and Greek legend portrays them as helpers of man and givers of prophecy.  In the Middle Ages of Europe wealth, abundance and riches were associated with them.

Owls are well known by mystics to be able to sense those with magical powers and can see the good or evil in people. They are messengers of the Gods, and the Universe to many cultures. To the Celts associated the Owl with the ability to guide others through and to the underworld. They will unmask those who seek to take advantage of ones kindness and reveal the hidden motives of those who seek to disguise their real intentions to those wise enough to seek their counsel.

Per Einstein, everything is energy.  Energy cannot be destroyed.  We are energy, we don’t die.  We simply transform and become something else…just as we have slowly done throughout our lives as human beings.  No?  Are you still nursing at your mother’s breast?  What happen to that baby? that child?  that teenager?  :)

It’s all a “dream” … one that we individually and collectively create.

************************* 

What is Energy
September 14th, 2006

When Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity in 1905 he shook the very foundations of science. It was in this publication that he explained what is energy. Without going into complex detail, and his theory of relativity is in fact so complex that most of the worlds top physicists still cannot fully grasp the implications of his theory today, whatAlbert Einstein essentially proved was everything is energy . Previously physicists believed that everything was made up of two separate elements, matter and energy. This, had it been true would mean that the human mind was separate from the human body. With his theory Einstein turned this idea of separateness on its head. E = mc2 in fact proved thateverything is energy and therefore there is no dualistic world, in fact everything in the universe was connected.

<!–[if !vml]–><!–[endif]–>

Today scientists still cannot explain what is energy. Energy takes different forms of course but it is considered in terms of its vibration. Dense forms of energy like metal or stone vibrate at a very slow rate, where as gas or sunlight energy vibrate at a much faster rate. From our human perception, things appear to be solid and separate from one another. However at the subatomic level seeminglysolid matter is actually electrons spinning in a circular fashion around the nucleus of the atom and beyond the subatomic level we find elementary particles which scientists have proven to have a dual nature. They sometimes act as tiny particles of matter and sometimes they behave as awave of pure energy. Fully trying to comprehend the concept of energy is indeed complicated to say the least.

Albert Einstein in his studies to comprehend what is energy also insisted energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed or mutated from one form to another. A simple example on an energy cycle is when the sun sends rays of sunshine energy to the earth, the sun and the rain cause the plants to grow, the animals eat the plants which in turn provide energy for the animals, the food passes through the animals and comes out as waste which acts as a fertilizer for the plants which continue to grow, the animals breed and eventually they die and their bodies decay and go back into the earth which continues to sprout new life and the cycle is endless. Everything is constantly changing, moving and transforming from one form of energy to another but the amount of energy always remains the same.What is energy? Everything is energy.

As scientific studies progress we get closer to an understanding what is energy. What science has ultimately discovered is that the universe consists of something beyond the realm of matter and that something is therealm of pure energy. Quantum physicists with the use of highly advanced equipment known as particle accelerators have performed documented experiments which have revealed subatomic particles sometimes appear out of thin air. These new particles appear to divide and then collide with one another and then disappear. This, scientists believe proves that there is auniverse of pure energy beyond our material universe. Some say this universe of pure energy produces the universe of matter that we perceive as human beings.

Due to our physical senses most of us still perceive the world as dualistic, that being matter and energy as two separate entities. This is, and science has now proven it, an incorrect perception of what is energy and therefore what is reality. By clinging to this inaccurate view of the world we limit ourselves in experiencing the full scope of our consciousness. With the knowledge we have learned from thesebreakthroughs in science we need to let go of these outdated perceptions of reality and understand that there is no such thing as matter, there is only forms of energy vibrating at different rates. Some vibrating so slowly they appear to be matter but understand the matter you appear to see is only an illusion created byswirling masses of energy. Know that matter is a concept created by the human mind but it is not an actual substance.

If you can get your mind around this concept you may get an insight into what is energy. Understanding that nothing is matter, not even your body, it is easy to understand that your feelings and emotions are not matter but very fast vibrating forms of energy. These feelings and emotions are elements which are a part of your consciousness. An easy way to bring in this new concept of everything is energy into your life is to imagine that everything around you is made up of vibrating energy, even though you can’t see that it is vibrating. Try to imagine it as tiny microscopic particles vibrating together to make up objects of different shapes and sizes all around you.

At this point you may be asking yourself how this article on energy has anything to do with personal development. Well now let me get to the good part. By accepting that everything is energy including your body and your thoughts you are taking a step closer to being able to take control of every aspect of your life.

You may have once believed that your brain was responsible for creating your thoughts but now if you accept that everything is energy you will understand that your brain is not some material that produces thoughts because your brain is not made of matter, it is made of the same thing as everything else, energy, and energy as we have learned from Einstein cannot be created. Although your brain’s electrical and chemical processes do affect your thoughts, scientific experiments have proven this, your thoughts come from your consciousness which is another form of energy and that consciousness has existed in some form or another since the beginning of the universe.

Albert Einstein said “reality is merely an illusion.” What reality is, is a projection of your thoughts or the things you habitually think about. Your entire life and everything in it is a result of your belief system coupled with your thoughts. The feelings and emotions you have cement this in your mind and the illusion of all of this combined is what you see as your reality on a moment to moment and day to day basis. Sowhat is energy on the human level? The bottom line and the most important thing in life we must understand is belief is everything. The law of belief is the law of life. Change your belief and change your life.
