Life is Energy
Life is energy, and energy is life.
When we lose people dear to us, their energy has not gone…it has been transmuted back to the Universe.
We will miss the people we care about when they leave us. Their energy may be gone from our lives, but it is not truly gone. Energy can never be created nor destroyed, just transformed into a new form.
As I am sitting at my desk writing this, I am witnessing the sun rising outside my window. Its light and energy are comforting, but also inspiring. Like the sun, I am also capable of rising above the horizon and making my way across the sky.
This has been a particularly trying week. My friends and family and I are all hurting because we have suffered loss. Two people who held very different places in my heart are gone. I will never experience their energy in my own life again…but I take comfort in knowing that their energy is not really gone.
When I work to consciously create my reality, I am striving to manifest a life that makes me happy. To do that, I have to manipulate my own energy, so that I can be attuned to a higher frequency. The higher the frequency I am tuned in to, that better things I can consciously create for myself.
The losses I have experienced make me sad. I grieve for those who have passed…but I also am comforted in knowing that their energies are still out there. When I think of the two amazing men who have passed, I remember that they lived lives that were filled with passion, inspired people around them, and made them both happy. In their memory, as I work on manifesting my life, I hope to work from their examples.
Life is where we are right here, right now.
In this moment I feel sadness not just for those who are lost, but for all those grieving their losses. I don’t believe that we can ever be prepared to say goodbye to those we love. Unfortunately, this life, in these meat-popsicles, is finite. The energy that is our root will continue always, but it will change form when our time on this planet is over.
Our society has a particular obsession with looking forward and looking backwards. Seldom do we work in the here-and-now. I fall prey to that a lot myself, and have been actively working on changing it.
The two men that we have lost were very different, but had one thing in common. They lived fully every day. They were, as far as all reports go, happy. The happiness they expressed in their lives inspired people around them. Both of them impacted a lot of lives, and both have left holes in the hearts of many.
They may be gone…but their energy is not. They showed us that life is precious, and from their examples we can choose to live big, do what we can to be good people, and find what makes us happy.
Over the next couple of days both men will be memorialized. Tears will be shed, and the memories of the impressions they made will flood over us. But when this process is over we will go on. In their memories, I am going to work even harder to use their examples and be the best person I can be.
Neither of these men did anything specifically to be an example. They simply lived, every day, as best they could.
I can live life, or let life live me.
Too often I have let life live me. It’s pretty easy to do…you just go with the flow, let the patterns of every day carry you. There are people who find satisfaction in this. But I desire to have more than just an everyday existence. I want every day to learn new things, to live with all the passion I can, and to be the best me that I can be.
Consciousness creates reality. If I am conscious of what I am thinking, feeling, and the actions that I take, I am able to be in control over my life. Admittedly, this is not always easy. When I spend too much time caught up in the goings-on across Facebook and other social media, or getting angry at the things I have no control over, I let my subconscious do the driving.
The memory of those I lost, and how they lived, can inspire me to be more aware. Though I miss them in this moment, and I feel sad at their loss, I know that they both would want me to go on, and live well. No matter who we lose in this life, I believe that they want us to keep living as fully as possible.
Wakes, funerals and memorials are not for the dead…they are for the living. This is where and how we say goodbye. Yes, it is an ending…but the energy of these lost souls is not gone, just transmuted, and spread further across the Universe. Our loss is the Universe’s gain. I don’t know if that gives you comfort, but it inspires me to live the best I can.
Energy is life, and life is energy.
