Pathwalking 240
I frequently write about energy.
I believe that everything, at its core, is energy. That is the center of the Universe, that is the point of origin for all. We begin and end as energy, neither created nor destroyed, frequently transmuted.
Over the past half a year plus, I have been working to meditate more frequently. Why? Because meditation is the ultimate means to connect to source energy.
What is source energy? Source energy is pure energy in the air, surrounding us, penetrating us, binding the galaxy together. Yes, it is The Force, but it is still a very real thing. Nevertheless, source energy, or universal energy, is the ultimate.
We are made of energy at our deepest, most intricate level. Everything we can see, touch, smell or otherwise engage with is made of energy. And of course, the devices that connect us across the world utilize energy in a wholly different form. It is everywhere, and it is constant, and it cannot be created nor destroyed, just transmuted and repurposed.
Meditating, as I explained earlier this week in Positivity, is a great means to allow one to connect and disconnect with the universe. On the one hand you can seek out your own inner thoughts and manage them in new ways, while on the other you can utterly lose yourself and join source energy for a time.
However you choose to meditate, this is an ultimate chance to pause, to get ahold of yourself, to experience the world while connected with everything at its most base existence…and yet be disconnected from it all.
Why does connecting with source energy matter? Because it provides us with an opportunity to ultimately examine ourselves. Not just the past and present, and not the immediate, touchable here-and-now, but our core, true, intentional selves.
What does that mean? In Billy Joel’s The Stranger, the opening line is “Well we all have a face that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.” The thing is, we don’t just wear faces for other people, we wear them for ourselves, too.
Sometimes this is a necessary evil. When you get out of bed after a restless night of insomnia, stub your toe, then drop the cap of your toothpaste down the drain and burn your tongue on the first cup of coffee, chances are you might just spiral into a terrible day. However, if you work to leave that all behind and put on a different face, you don’t show up to work carrying with you that crazy, no good, terrible morning.
You choose to put on a different face in part for yourself, so that you can do what needs to be done, and in part for everyone else, so that you don’t present to them a bitter, angry, flustered person nobody would want to be around, yourself included.
So we are constantly putting on different faces, different attitudes, and as such leaving behind our genuine selves. Frequently, who we really are is covered under a different persona that has been cultivated to help you walk the path you have chosen.
Connecting with source energy allows us to get ourselves beneath the faces we wear, under the surface and deep into our core. We get to venture to a place where, merging into Universal energy, we needn’t wear even our skin, so we can be our most real, most genuine, most true self.
This is not always easy. Sometimes when I meditate, getting into the zone is challenging. There are times I can neither focus nor unfocus, and I might just sit there quiet for more time than truly getting to merge into that source energy. But I strive to achieve this goal, because I love the ultimate freedom deep mediation opens me up to.
When you go to source energy, you become energy. This is where we begin, it is where we will end, we simply have transmuted into this meat suit we present to the world, fat, thin, short, tall, black, white male, female, or what-have-you. The real, core you and me is energy, and meditating connects us back to source energy, back to the core of it all.
By converging with source energy, we allow ourselves to be fully, completely and totally open to endless possibilities. We are ultimately free to experience both the little and the grand things. We can find the answers to almost all of our questions, because when we are one with Universal energy everything is possible.
This is why energy is so important. When we recognize that we are pure energy at our own core, and we seek to connect to the energy at the core of the universe, we can find calm, peace, contentment, and all the answers we could possibly desire.
I am striving to meditate daily because I find that the sensations I experience when connecting to Universal energy are incomparable. I find that if I mediate in the morning my day feels more connected, and I feel as though I am better able to manage everything the comes my way. If I mediate in the night I find that my sleep is more restful, and I am better able to do things like write these posts or work on other necessary projects.
When we recognize that we are energy, and that energy is the root of it all, we can make better choices and more happily traverse the paths we have chosen for our lives.
Do you connect yourself to core energy?
GOAL LOG – Week 30:
Diet: I am still eating fairly decently. Had more sugar this past week, feel I need to cut back further on that and on carbs still as well.
Exercise: I was a bit of a slug this week, apart from a night of packing up the car after a day up and down many stairs. Otherwise, not my week for exercising. Next week is Pennsic, so TONS of walking, fencing and exercise on the horizon.
Writing: See above. And next week will probably be little-to-no writing, as I will be away and focused on other things.
Meditation: Seven total days of meditation, no less than 5 minutes each day.
Gratitude: I wrote out 5 things to be grateful for every day.
This is the two-hundred fortieth entry in my series. These weekly posts are ideas and my personal experiences in walking along the path of life. I share this journey as part of my desire to make a difference in this world along the way.
Thank you for joining me. Feel free to re-blog and share.
The first year of Pathwalking, including some expanded ideas, is available here.
