46th Weekly Thought:

Our flowing energy

Even when alone, we are aware of being connected with the world; we take our responsibility for our actions and become an important part in the life of others.

So now we are dealing with our energy. Sometimes we feel like we are drained, without energy; sometimes we are "filled to bursting" with energy. In the past, many of us saw this as something over which we had no control and perhaps even sought therapy. But at some point along the way we learn to look more closely.

First of all, we realise that energy always needs a source. In the search for it, we realise that there are two sources for us, but they are somehow connected: one inside us and one outside. If we only give from within, we will eventually be drained and empty. If we only ever take from the outside, we become dependent and remain empty. So both are a trap.

So there always needs to be a mutual relationship.

A wind only arises when there is a difference in air pressure - the greater this is, the stronger the wind.

Electricity only flows when both poles are connected - otherwise it's just like a dead battery. And if the charge carriers are not separated, there is no current.

Creativity only occurs when our inner vision connects with an object.

Activity only arises when there is something to do - whereby it doesn't matter in the first instance whether the impulse comes from inside or outside.

What we are learning now on our way is to connect on the one hand with where our vision is needed and at the same time to pay attention to the exchange between giving and taking! How this is done in our lives is our own responsibility and we should not pass it on or try to make others responsible.

Whenever we achieve this, we realise that we have become one again - with ourselves, our environment and the Almighty Source. And it fills us with a real deep gratitude and joy!!!!
