Energy Labels

 

Recently I had an experience in the midst of a lecture. An audience member became disruptive. Instead of yelling, heckling or outright obnoxious behavior, this was much more subtle.  The person was playing energy games and directing them towards me. When I finally figured out what was happening, I had to decide where it was coming from. Having done that, I zeroed in on the person responsible. Now I had a choice of how to react. I simply stopped for a moment in the middle of the lecture. I chose to be unconditional love. I made eye contact and smiled at the person in full recognition of their conduct and sent them total love. The games stopped. The lecture continued.  It only took a few moments.

The real choices we have in life are how we choose to respond to our environment.  We can choose to react in anger, resentment, embarrassment, love or joy to name a few. These words are just labels on bundles of energy. Any emotion you can think of is just another label. We blame others for making us feel one way or another, but we are the ones in charge of choosing our reactions. They are just triggers. The triggers they send are just raw energy.

There is always a choice of how to respond. I will always choose joy and love. To be happy we must become conscious and make an intentful decision for Joy by choosing the path of Light. We become conscious by paying attention to our emotions and thoughts. When we pay attention we can recognize the energy and give it a name. Giving it a name lets us stand a little separate from it so we can take a moment to become conscious and ask ourselves how we wish to react. When we decide how to react we take the standard bundle of raw reaction energy and re-label it.  Tearing off that label and giving it a new name and direction is one way of being able to make a healthy response choice more easily. 

Tear the Label Off the Energy

People teach about protection from psychic attack. Psychic attack requires a sender and a receiver.  If you are the receiver of such energy, simply tear the label off it.  Stop calling it ‘attack’.  It is just raw energy.  Energy cannot be destroyed, simply changed.  Best of all, it can be changed just by your intention!  Use the energy and change it to Love.  Put your new label on it. Surround yourself and the sender with that Love. That is the truest ‘defense’. Be love, send it, feel it, acknowledge it, allow it and reflect it. 

If you send hate, anger or revenge back, you will indeed get more of same. You have engaged (received) the fear and forgotten to change the label on the raw energy.  If you believe that lighting candles, or doing a ritual, or blessing oneself works, then to the extent you play in that defense arena, you are already attacked.  Simply surround yourself with love and BE it, send it, feel it. Love is the true nature of the Self.

A wonderful lesson in A Course in Miracles  says "Your attack thoughts attack your invulnerability."  Very wise indeed.  We are truly invulnerable.  It is our fears that undermine us. They attach to that raw energy labeled attack.   Our deep internalized fears rise up to invalidate our natural state of love.  We can recognize our fears and love them. Re-label the energy to Love. It’s just like electricity, not good, not bad, but it’s how we apply that energy that helps or hurts.

No doubt there can be perceived attacks. It is up to us to decide to tear the label off and use the energy to help not hurt. We have the power to transmute such energy simply by intention. Engage love and overcome fear.  Joy is always an option. So is Love. Try choosing them.
