Our Struggle for Energy: Evolving from Conflict

In order to evolve from our current , stagnant state as human beings; to progress to a higher level of understanding and purpose; to realise radical cultural change and evolution...and to alleviate conflict around the world; we must stop competing against each other for energy. This can only be achieved if we learn how to fill ourselves with energy from sources other than each other. Having recently revisited James Redfield’s "The Celestine Prophecy," I have been thinking more about interactions between man on interpersonal, professional and political levels. While many tout Mr. Redfield’s work as new age sensationalism, it causes one to think more clearly about where we have come from, how we are evolving and the reason for our existence. In the book, an ancient Peruvian manuscript is sought which contains 9 insights that, when discovered and understood, will alter human culture dramatically, evolving mankind from where we are now to a completely spiritual culture on Earth. The second insight in the book explains the importance of putting our current awareness into a longer historical perspective…that history is not merely about the evolution of technology and growth, but the evolution of thought. By understanding the consciousness of the generations before us, we can understand why we look at the world the way we do, and better appreciate what our contribution is toward further progress…and our evolution. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Nice article - thank you. What about actual physical energy as distinct from "psychological" energy.
Sean, thanks for taking the time to read the article. I think that it's an important subject to table because, when you think about it; for years we have been re-hashing the same strategies for change, but face the same problems still, and will continue to until we step outside of the box that we've been in for so long and consider new approaches and let go of our culturally-instilled skepticism. Think about it, years ago, we rejected thoughts of new ideas and concepts in the same way...for example, the notion that the earth was round was laughable at one point in history.
Regarding the physical energy that you speak about:
"After the fall of the medieval world view, we in the west suddenly became aware that we lived in a totally unknown universe. In attempting to understand the nature of this universe, we knew that we had to somehow separate fact from superstition....science systematically removed the uncertain and the esoteric from the world."
This skepticisim of the unknown still exists today, as it did years ago. We laugh at the ignorance of our ancestors...and generations beyond us will certainly laugh at us in years to come as our history and evolution unfolds.
"Then, two investigations occurred which opened our eyes again to the mystery in the universe...two major findings, those of quantum mechanics and those of Albert Einstein. The whole of Einstein's life's work was to show that what we perceive as hard matter is mostly empty space with a pattern of energy running through it. This includes ourselves. And what quantum physics has shown is that when we look at these patterns of energy at smaller and smaller levels, startling results can be seen. Experiments have revealed that when you break apart small aspects of this energy, what we call elementary particles, and try to observe how they operate, the act of observation itself alters the results - as if these elementary particles are influenced by what the experimenter expects. This is true even if the particles must appear in places they couldn't possibly go, given the laws of the universe as we know them: two places at the same moment, forward or backward in time, that sort of thing....in other words, the basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is looking like a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe - as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems."
The psychological feeling of being drained or numbed after being degraded or humiliated by another is actually caused by the physical alteration or removal of one's energy by the aggressor...who in turn increases her energy as a result...and that's what conflict is about....the battle for energy. Even though we are unconscious of it, that's what's happening. Some people claim that they can actually see shifts in energy (or auras) when two people are in an argument or conflict.
Hope that this helps....
Peace out....
