TRANSFORMING OUR LIVES THROUGH THE USE OF ENERGY: AN ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE

Editorial Avenue: No. 08, 15th May 2024 

Human existence as we currently know it is a thread in the midst of fragility. As it weaves in and out of the histories, cultures, and timestamps of ancient and modern breakthroughs in wisdom, the chaos, disequilibrium, and instability that are part of human reality on earth are still prevailing. The dominating factor behind the chaos remains your inability to look up to a trusting figure of authority for guidance, protection and leading of entire nations’ paths away from a breakdown in their communities’ norms, social order, and cohesiveness. Nature never deviates from its course though and we observe a common theme as civilisations evolve and modernise themselves: there is enhanced attraction and excitement around apocalyptic fictions where a saviour with superhuman intelligence manifests to protect all of Earth from its inevitable destruction. This saviour may have roots in religion, philosophy, or modern round table discussions but the principle remains the same: deviation from a God-Self as the saviour and protector from the Light and attraction to an Ego-Self as the destroyer and transformer of evil. Our concern is that entire human cultures are having a dominant predisposition towards a reality made up of non-God consciousness despite nature still following its course. What is natural for the human blueprint is to inevitably seek for a higher form of consciousness, no matter how it manifests itself. At the opposite side of this spectrum is humanity’s point of view or its predisposition towards escaping the chaos rather than seeking to unravel its mystery and collectively transmute it into a higher good.

This brings us to the collective interest there is around eschatology, or fictional stories focused on the decline of civilisations, the pain and suffering of the people who directly experienced that decline and the moral principles that could have averted or transformed the disastrous human consequences presented. The Germans have coined a term for referring to this phenomenon. It is called the “zeitgeist” or the dominant mentality of a period in time. The zeitgeist of your current time period dominantly points towards apocalyptic outcomes in all of the literature, theatre, and movie productions, past and present, that maintain a high success rate. Not only are these a reflection of your current preoccupations and concerns but also an expression of the values and belief systems that you are holding onto that allow you to remain in equilibrium despite the chaos. This brings us to May’s message for all of humanity: energy is a movement made of life and force. Wherever there is life, there is a momentum of energy driving it forward.

This understanding is what eventually led to the development of the wisdom behind energy healing modalities and teachings. The possibility of utilising energy in order to generate a powerful transformation of one’s life then probably appeared as an enticing prospect to master. But the utilisation or manipulation of energy for the purpose of achieving a personal goal without the proper consciousness and understanding of interconnectedness does raise ethical concerns as energy is not transactional in the way that humanity may currently understand it. Energy will certainly flow with the movement that is so desired but if the principle of interconnectedness is denied and the intent is not aligned with the good, the karmic consequences may not be the most desirable. As such, to live one’s desired human life focused on the secrets of energy does imply a certain degree of conscientiousness and attention to the request being made.

A moral imperative remains and is only possible when we are able to move above and beyond the Ego-Self and into the nurturing existence of God-Self energy. Currently, human civilisations engage in a moral imperative of harm reduction as opposed to being in the Good at all times. It may have become so over time because the nature of evil has irrevocably scarred and transformed how humanity sees itself. But the polarity of light is not the darkness or evil that you have known for so long but rather the absence of light. An absence of light is this state of unconsciousness, an unmoulded form of experience or a lack of realisation of the light. The absence of the light does not darken or generate evil. It just is. God’s infusion is what allows a transition from the absence of light into the light. It is through the process of transition that illumination appears and becomes the generator of life force energy. What we desire when aligned with the Good, we will desire out of reason. There will be a push by a higher form of justification for desiring it. Reasoning is a gift as it comes from the God given faculty of thinking, thought and the manifestation of a chosen physical reality through intent. What we desire when aligned with the reasoning of choosing Good over evil though, we are desiring out of a diminished thinking structure. It is the belief that Good, and evil are objects that may be transformed through our thinking hence the notion of opting for harm reduction as opposed to going for the Good. The danger with this of course is that a possibility in the mind may lead to a capacity for action especially in the absence of a Higher Moral Good leading, guiding, protecting. But the absence of anything simply means that it exists in its unconscious form and is awaiting a transition. A redirection of our mental energy towards ethics as the exclusive representation of the altruistic side of humanity is the answer.
