The first insight surfaces unconsciously at first, as a profound sense of restlessness. We begin to glimpse an alternative kind of experience, more intense and inspiring. When that feeling leaves, we feel dissatisfied and restless and life feels ordinary again.
We start to become more conscious of the coincidences in our lives and believe that there is a deeper meaning. We feel there is something else going on underneath everyday life. These coincidences are happening more and more frequently and when they do, they strike us as beyond what would be expected by pure chance. They feel destined, as though our lives have been guided by some unexplained force.
The experience induces a feeling of mystery and excitement and, as a result, we feel more alive. When enough people begin to have this shared experience we will reach critical mass and the other insights will be revealed.
The way most of us feel about this is to consider such ideas unknowable and shrug off the awareness altogether.
The second insight deals with historical perspective that makes the first seem more valid. History is not just the evolution of technology, it is the evolution of thought. By understanding the reality of the people who came before us, we can see why we look at the world the way we do, and what our contribution is toward future progress. We have been preoccupied with learning to manipulate the world for our own benefit--to raise our standard of living, our sense of security in the world. This replaced our quest for spiritual understanding because the scientific method could not explain the spiritual questions of why we are here. Now we need to wake up from this obsessiveness and reconsider our original question.
The third insight describes a new understanding of the physical world. We will learn to perceive what was formerly an invisible type of energy. It begins as a heightened sensitivity to beauty--objects have more presence, sharpness of shape, vividness of color, stand out and shine. We are then able to perceive an energy field--a whiteish, transparent light--around objects.
We are able to direct this energy in a positive way. For example: Whey you look at a plant, appreciate its uniqueness and presence, the beauty of its physical expression is amplified and the energy field appears. To project your energy to the plant, focus your attention on it as though to inflate it with your energy. A plume of white light encircling your body erupts out, engulfing the plant, and the plant's energy field expands.
When people argue, their energy fields grow more dense and agitated. They intermingle. As a point is made, the energy flows in the direction of that person. If a rebuttal is made, energy flows in the other direction. This is why at the end of an argument the loser feels drained.
When we are able to see these energy fields, our understanding of the physical world transforms. We begin to eat more foods which are still alive with this energy and we become conscious that certain localities radiate more energy than others, especially old, natural environments and forests.
The universe is comprised of one dynamic energy that can sustain us and responds to our expectations. We realize that we are disconnected, cut off. We feel weak, insecure and lacking. So we seek to increase our personal energy by psychologically stealing it from others which is the unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict. Human energy was the only energy we were aware of, but as we transcend this view, we realize there is another source of energy.
The mystical experience had been an intellectual concept, to be talked about and debated. Now we can actually experience it as a flash, a glimpse of this state of mind, a oneness with everything, peace, completeness, love for everything. This is the key for ending human conflict in the world because during this experience we are receiving energy from another source. A source we shall eventually learn to tap at will.
Love is not something that just happens or you make yourself do--you allow love to enter you. Concentrate on admiring shape and presence, as admiration grows the feeling of the emotion of love will grow. Accept the energy, your energy field will grow larger, then you will send energy to the object. Connecting with the energy feels like excitement, then euphoria and then love. This connection allows us to know the magnitude of energy we can acquire. But we can't maintain the connection for very long. Once we try to talk to someone who is operating in normal consciousness or try to live in a world where conflict is still happening, we get knocked out of this advanced state and fall back to the level of our old selves.
We must learn to consciously fill up with energy because this energy brings on the coincidences and the coincidences help us actualize the new level on a permanent basis. We fill up, grow, fill up, and grow again.
The universe can provide all the energy we need if we can only open up to it.
To connect to the energy permanently, we must face up to our particular way of controlling others and stop doing it.
The four control dramas:
1) Intimidator. The most aggressive drama. They threaten verbally or physically to force you to pay attention to them and give them your energy for fear of something bad happening to you.
2) Interrogator. The other aggressive drama. They ask questions and probe into your world with the specific purpose of finding something wrong, then criticizing. You become self-conscious, get pulled off your path, judge yourself by what the interrogator might be thinking. This sends energy to the interrogator.
3) Aloof. A passive drama. They withdraw, look mysterious and secretive, hope you will be drawn into the drama and try to figure out what's going on. They remain vague. You struggle to understand their true feelings. They receive your full attention and energy.
4) Poor me. The most passive drama. They tell you all the horrible things that are already happening to them, implying that you are responsible, and if you refuse to help, these horrible things are going to continue. They make you feel guilty and that you're not doing enough for them--which drains your energy.
Some people use more than one control drama in different situations. Most have one dominant drama that they tend to repeat because it worked well on early family members.
The responding drama to interrogator is aloof, and visa versa.
The responding drama to intimidator is poor me or occasionally, intimidator.
This is the secret of happiness. Once we transcend our previous conditioning and control dramas, we can comprehend the higher meaning for our lives and the spiritual reason we were born to our particular families.
We are the spiritual creation of our parents--their lives have an irrevocable effect on who we are. Our path is about discovering a truth that is a higher synthesis of what these two people believed--this is our basic life question. This is the evolution of thought.
Thoughts feel different once you are connected with the energy. The words you have habitually willed through your head in an attempt to logically control events stop when you give up your control drama. As you fill up with energy, other kinds of thoughts enter your mind from a higher part of yourself--intuitions. They feel different, appearing in the back of your mind as a daydream or vision to direct and guide you.
Stay connected to the flow of energy, then nothing can pull energy out of you faster than you can replace it. You must stay conscious of the process in order for it to work.
Think of your basic life question, the one your parents gave you. Then discover the smaller questions that currently confront you. These always pertain the to the basic question. You will get a hunch about your next step. If you do not get a hunch, be sure you have the right question. Once you get the question right the answers will always come. Be alert and watchful for the coincidences to direct you. The challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative and recognize the answers as they arrive.
Fear images should be halted as soon as they come. Another image with a good outcome should be willed through the mind immediately. Soon, with practice, negative images will not come. If, after this point you receive a negative image, take it seriously and do not allow yourself to get into the situation you foresee.
To grasp the seventh insight, we must pull all the insights into one way of being. We must wake up and see the world as a mysterious place that provides everything we need if we get clear and get on the path.
All the answers that mysteriously come to us come from other people. They will not always have the energy or clarity to reveal the message they have for us. We must help them by sending them energy.
Children are the end points in evolution that lead us forward. They need our constant, unconditional energy to evolve. The worst thing that can be done is to drain their energy while correcting them. This creates control dramas. This can be avoided if adults give them all the energy they need, no matter what the situation.
Children should always be included in conversations, especially ones about them. Never take responsibility for more children than you can give attention to. If there are more children than the adults can provide energy for, the children will compete for it. This is sibling rivalry. There should be one adult, one hundred per cent available to each child, one hundred per cent of the time. This attention can come from caregivers other than the parent.
Tell children the truth of every situation in language they can understand. Do not give fanciful answers for the entertainment of adults. If children always have enough sincere attention, they do not feel they need to act out or show off. This approach makes it easier for children to make the switch, when grown, to getting energy from the universe and to avoid becoming entangled in the control dramas.
The universal energy is both male and female. Identifying with and integrating the energy of the same-sex parent is accomplished easily. But receiving energy from the other parent can be more complicated. Children feel they lack the opposite sex energy and must get it from the opposite sex parent.
Ideally, the opposite sex parent can communicate openly, supply energy unconditionally. They need not do everything the child asks, but explain why and define him or herself as they go. The child gets a realistic view of the parent as a human with faults as well as talents. This will make it easier for the child to make the transition from receiving opposite sex energy from the parent, to receiving energy from the universe at large.
However, most parents compete with children for energy. Children are left to look for opposite sex energy in another person, whom they try to possess. Inability to access opposite sex energy from within themselves sets the stage for addiction to another.
When we first fall in love we send each other energy unconsciously. Both people feel elated and buoyant, incredibly high and "in love". When we expect this feeling to come from the other person, we cut ourselves off from the energy of the universe. As the relationship develops, we expect even more energy from each other, only now there doesn't seem to be enough.
So we stop giving and fall back into control dramas to force the energy in our direction. The relationship degenerates into the usual power struggle.
The way to deal with this is to get your energy up and center yourself again in what you are really doing here. What are your questions? Who is in your path to offer you an answer? Send them energy. They will have a feeling of lightness and clarity so they can formulate their thoughts and share them with you easier. This causes, in you, a revelation of truth in what they are saying. You focus more on them, sending more energy. You both send energy back and forth freely with no limit because you are both connected to the universe as a source of energy.
If a person tries to pull you into a control drama, do not assume the matching drama and theirs will fall apart. Name their drama. Once it's exposed the other person has to be more honest. Look beyond the drama to the person and send them as much energy as possible. That makes it easier for them to give up trying to manipulate for it.
When you appreciate someone on a deeper level, you can see their most honest self beyond any facade they might set up. You can perceive what they are thinking--this is telepathy.
Part of the eighth insight is learning to interact consciously when in a group. As the members of a group talk, only one will have the most powerful idea at any one point in time. If they are alert, the others in a group can feel who is about to speak, and they can then consciously focus their energy on this person, helping to bring out their idea with the greatest clarity. As the conversation proceeds, someone else will have the most powerful idea, then someone else, and so forth. If you concentrate on what is being said, you can feel when it is your turn.
If we exclude someone who irritates us, or if we focus on something we don't like about them, it saps their energy but the whole group suffers. The vibrational level falls for everyone. The truly functional group raises the vibrational level for everyone, all energy fields merge into a great pool of energy.
Our destiny is to increase our energy level which increases the vibratory rate of our bodies. We will get lighter, more purely spiritual. Whole groups of people, once they reach a certain level will suddenly become invisible to those who are still vibrating at a lower level. It will appear to the people on the lower level, that the others have just disappeared. The others will feel as though they are still right there but they will feel lighter. This is what Jesus did. We will be able to vibrate highly enough so that we can walk into heaven in our same form.
Fear lowers our vibration. We will not be able to crossover until we have abolished fear in all situations to maintain sufficient vibration. The ninth insight is to help create that confidence.
What happens as a culture evolves forward--as overall energy levels rise? It will be a significantly different way of life. There will be decreased population so all can live in powerful and beautiful places. We will let the forests go uncut so they can mature and build energy.
By the year 2500, people will live among 500 year old trees and carefully tended gardens within easy travel distance of an urban area of incredibly technological wizardry. Food, clothing and transportation will be totally automated and at everyone's disposal. There will be no exchange of currency, yet no overindulgence or laziness. Everyone will be guided by their intuitions and know precisely what to do when in harmony with others. We will have let go of the need to possess and control for security.
Life will have become about something else--the thrill of our own evolution and the elation of receiving intuitions and closely watching our destinies unfold.
