Our Energy System
Author: Robert Elias Najemy

Each person is like an energy box (or energy system to the
scientists). Energy comes in and flows out and what remains
determines the energy state of that box or system. When the
state of energy is high and of good quality, then the box
(a person) feels well. When we are lacking in energy, then
we, like any instrument or being, do not function well.

The one source of all life energy is the universal cosmic
consciousness. This consciousness is the universal source
of all energy, regardless of the form that energy may
temporarily take. Energy flows into the box from this
universal source. Each of us has a differing degree of
opening towards this universal energy source. Some are more
open and thus receive more energy than others. Prayer,
meditation, deep relaxation and a balanced way of life, as
well as a positive mental attitude, develop a greater
energy contact with this universal source, which most of us
call God.

This energy, however, does not remain in our system, but is
used in various ways for various purposes from heating the
body and digesting, to thinking, walking, creating new
cells, expressing emotions and growing spiritually. There
is one energy source and it is distributed by each
individual according to his or her needs, desires, beliefs,
fears, attachments and actions.

Much energy is lost around food, especially because we eat
more than we need, and eat the wrong substances. This
creates a significant energy drain, as the body tries to
handle this great demand of dealing with these large
quantities of unnatural substances.

We loose a great deal of energy through needless talking,
which not only expends energy, but often creates feelings
of separateness, antagonism and competitiveness, which then
require additional amounts of emotional energy to deal
with.

The endless search for security, happiness and affirmation
through external factors, persons and situations is another
important energy loss, as ninety percent of our energy goes
into this vain pursuit of happiness through the external
world.

We also loose large portions of energy through anxiety and
negative thinking. We spend much time and energy worrying
about what might happen, or about what happened in the
past, and thus are not able to take energy from the only
real source which is in the present. Whoever lives mentally
in the future or past will not have contact with this
energy source except during the hours of deep sleep.

Thus, although we have incarnated for specific purposes of
learning and growing emotionally, mentally and spiritually
and for manifesting certain missions of service here on
earth, a rather insignificant amount of energy manages to
flow in that direction. Most is lost through the various
energy leaks and little or none ends up flowing towards our
actual life goal.

But these leaks are not our only problem. We also have
certain inner blockages to energy flow, which trap the
energy within the system, not allowing it to flow outward.
That causes a stagnation of energy flow, which is
destructive to the system itself. This manifests as
suppressed negative emotions such as fear, guilt and doubt,
which prevent us from manifesting our full potential of
energy flow towards our life goals.

Few people live in such a way that large portions of their
life energy flow towards their spiritual life purpose. In
addition to the previously mentioned obstacles, one other
major obstacle is that they have not yet realized that they
have a life goal (beyond survival, pleasure and self
affirmation) or, if they have, they have not discovered
what exactly it is.

What do we need to do? We need to make a system's analysis
of our energy flow. First of all we need to plug up the
leaks such as overeating, talking, socializing too much,
chasing after external sources of happiness and the
tendency towards fear and anxiety. Secondly we need to work
on removing the inner  blockages of fear, guilt and
self-doubt. Thirdly we need to discover the purpose for
which we have taken this incarnation. Included in that
purpose there will be both what we have come to learn and
what we have come to offer.

Lastly we need to open up our aperture towards the
universal energy source, so that we can channel an
ever-greater flow of cosmic energy towards our life goal,
in the form of thoughts, words and actions.

The first ecology system, which needs harmonizing, is our
own life energy system.
