Life Skills: People (part 1)

2009-09-28T06:43:00-07:00

I was told – of course I don’t remember – that I lived in five different states before I was 2 years old. Such is military life. I used to think it was all that moving around that caused me to have problems developing relationships with others. Just when I’d start to get to know some kid in the new neighborhood, we’d up and move again. I blamed most of my loneliness, shyness, and unhappiness on the lack of relationship skills that most everybody else had in their ‘normal’ lives.

Now I know that it was, in fact, all that moving around that gave me the great skills to be able to walk up to just about anybody and strike up a conversation. Because of my varied experiences in all those different locations, I was able to connect with people at any level (millionaire to homeless) and talk on just about any subject.

So why did I have trouble making friends? Why did I go through most of my life with less than a handful of close friends? And why do I seem to be one of the few people I know who doesn’t have some kind of life-long, childhood friend story to tell?

Because other experiences, which need not be delved into here, influenced me to be afraid of new people. I was afraid to talk with them; afraid to get to know them; afraid to let them know me; afraid they would not like me; and afraid that, even if they did like me, they would hurt me in some way.

Most people who know me now, have a hard time believing I was shy and introverted back then. Conversely, I remember at my ten-year high school reunion being met with curious and sometimes shocked looks from former classmates. Even though we were not all that close in school, I just walked right up to them and started a conversation. Okay, it might have had a little to do with the fact that my jumbo glasses had turned into contact lenses, but I think that was only part of it.

So what changed? I slowly worked my way out of the fear that kept me from engaging in life.

Where did that fear come from? Was I born with it? Did I learn it? Did it just show up one day? How did I get over the fear? Why did it take so long to get over the fear? Why wasn’t I taught the life skills necessary to deal with the fear and go over it when I was young, and so I didn’t drag it along with me throughout life? These are all great questions that would need a book to answer… maybe that will come soon.

In the meantime, to release a fear that is stopping you, you can try an old way of releasing it – which might involve some long drawn-out process that takes years of struggling, analysis and pain.

… Or, you can try a new way to go over your fear that makes the process of letting go enjoyable and peaceful. Which would you choose?

What does it mean to have stable energy?

2009-05-04T07:02:00-07:00

Think about a pendulum. It swings back and forth, back and forth. That’s all it does. If it isn’t swinging, it isn’t really a pendulum. It is just some weight at the end of a cord that hangs there. In a sense, it’s dead. A pendulum is meant to keep a stable flow and maintain a smooth arc for long periods of time. It has the ability to do more, but its purpose is to remain in a stable swing. The wider the swing, the more unstable the pendulum is… if it swings extremely wide, it risks being knocked off balance because gravity will not allow it to swing so wide.

If you’ve ever tried to go higher and higher on a swing, you’ll understand what I mean. When I was a child, we used to try to see who could go the highest on the swing. At some point in the arc, when we’re just about parallel to the ground, gravity takes hold and jolts us straight down to the ground. Now, since we’re on the swing, we don’t actually hit the ground, we just hit the end of the length of chain and swing backward again. But the ride is anything but smooth, I can tell you that.

It’s the same with your energy. If you are always looking for just that moment of being the highest, by finding something that makes you feel really good for a short period of time, then your swing will eventually reach a point of imbalance and knock you back. And since you had such a wide swing in one direction, guess what’s going to happen? You have the momentum to swing just as wide in the opposite direction.

The key is when you stop reaching for those extreme highs, you’ll stop experiencing those extreme lows. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t reach for happiness. Happiness is not an extreme. Happiness is our natural state.

Some would argue that going after the extreme high is just too enticing, that it feels too good when you reach it to give up reaching for it. If that’s your choice, then you also live with the possibility that the extreme lows you will experience as a result could be quite painful. As in the example of the swing, you could reach for that high point on the swing, and gravity could jolt you right off the swing instead of leaving you there to hang on while swinging backward. That means, you could hit the ground real hard. Sometimes, we don’t get up from that hit.

Think of an adrenaline junky. It seems they are always doing something that pushes the limits further and further. The problem is that can’t be maintained over long periods of time. You must have balance in life. And balancing highs means you must have lows. If you somehow spend a lot of time at the extreme high end of life, you MUST spend time at the extreme low. You have no choice in that fact.

You do, however, have a choice about how extreme your lows will be. You can control your pendulum swing so that you experience a very balanced high and low swing. So you’ll still experience lows, but those lows won’t be near as extreme and you’ll be more stable and able to deal with them as though they were nothing.

Everything is about energy

2009-04-06T07:08:00-07:00

When for example maybe you’re feeling really good in the morning, and then in the afternoon you begin not to feel so good. Then you look around and see what’s wrong with your life, and say “I don’t feel good because of this or because of that.” Like to blame something.

That’s not it at all. You don’t feel good because your energy flow is not good. When your energy flow is good, it doesn’t matter what goes on around you, you will feel good. We always look for some reason why things are bad. But that’s not true.

The more we realize this, the more we can aim to be stable… to have a stable energy flow. So when you begin to feel anything is not good, then immediately you need to correct your energy. If you start to worry about something, if you start to be afraid about something, if you start to be angry or upset, then you must quickly change your energy.

Even if you’re good, you can still be better.

What is Energy?

What is energy?

They also discovered that we were made of the same basic material. On our most fundamental level, living beings, including human beings, were packets of quantum energy constantly exchanging information with the inexhaustible energy sea…

Most fundamentally, they had provided evidence that all of us connect with each other and the world at the very undercoat of our being. Through scientific experiment they’d demonstrated that there may be such a thing as a life force flowing through the universe.”

Lynne McTaggart, The Field

Energy is the powerful force that makes us alive. Energy moves everything in the universe. Energy produces change. Energy is life.

Imagine the difference between a dead person and a live person. The live person can move. The dead person can't do anything at all. The live person can feel things. The dead person can't feel at all. The live person can own a house, a car or some land. The dead person can't own anything at all. The live person has energy. That's why he can do all these things. The dead person has no energy. That's why he can't do anything.

Energy is the source of life and movement. We can't do anything without it.

What is the difference between a corpse and a live human being?

Corpse	Live human
Has lungs, heart and blood	Has lungs, heart and blood
Has bones, muscles and skin	Has bones, muscles and skin
Cannot work, play, make love or fight	Can work, have fun, find a lover and cry.
Cannot experience happiness, peace or fulfillment	Can be happy, inspired or peaceful
Cannot suffer	Can feel pain, unhappiness, jealousy, fear
HAS NO ENERGY	HAS ENERGY

A car can't drive without energy. A light bulb can't shine without energy. The earth can't survive without energy.

Energy is life

As long as we are alive we are receiving and releasing energy. It's similar to breathing. We breathe in fresh air, and breathe out old air. Even though we can't see the air we breathe it all the time. Energy is the same. We receive fresh energy and release old energy. If we stop receiving energy we die.

Energy is the key to life. If we want to have a good quality life, we need to have good quality energy. Imagine the difference between a sick person, a normal person and a successful person.

A sick person can't take care of himself. He may need help with basic life functions, like eating, breathing and sleeping. He can't make any contribution to society. He is dependent on other people and needs to be served by them to survive. The sick person has poor quality energy.

The normal person can take care of himself. He can be responsible for some other people, for example his family or some colleagues at work. He can make a normal contribution to society and earn a living. He has medium quality energy.

The successful person has a much bigger life. He may be responsible for thousands of people in a company, or he may lead a whole country. He has the power to change the world with his ideas. He can have a very high quality lifestyle and is able to attract support from many other people. He has good quality energy.

The quality of our energy determines the quality of our life. The better the energy, the better the life.

Why do we need energy?

Energy is the key to health. When we have good quality energy we are healthy and strong. When our energy is poor quality we are stressed, depressed or sick.

Most people, when they are sick, pay attention to their body. It is the body that feels pain; it is the body that suffers; it is the body that has symptoms. But we feel pain and suffering only because we have energy.

We should take care of our energy, not our body, if we want to become well. It is surprising to most people, but if you change the quality of energy you receive your body also changes. This is the easiest way to become healthy, lose weight, look younger, get rid of pain and feel better.

Our relationships are also determined by our energy. When we have good quality energy we can attract good partners, we can make friends easily and we can cooperate with people. When our energy is poor quality we fight more, we find it hard to find a lover and we don't make friends so easily. If we can improve the quality of our energy we automatically improve the quality of our relationships.

If your husband has an affair; if you can’t find a relationship; if you are dissatisfied with your marriage; if you are lonely; it is because your energy is not good enough quality.

If you want better relationships the key is to improve your energy. Don’t waste time being jealous, depressed, unhappy or angry. You just lose more energy and the situation will get even worse.

The same is true about money. It is much easier to make money if you have good quality energy. You have more energy to work and to serve other people. The more people you can serve, the more money you can make.

The Chief Executive of a large company serves millions of customers, and the company can make a huge income as a result. A small company, serving many fewer people, makes much less income. Somebody who is only capable of serving himself may not be able to earn any money at all, but may be supported by the government. When we have money problems we don't usually realise that these are energy problems. We think it’s a problem with the government, or the company, or the system. We blame the boss, or the president, or the cost of living, for our problems. We do not realise that if we improve the quality of our energy we will automatically be able to get more money. Money comes from energy. A dead person can't earn anything. The richest person in the world has nothing any more when he dies. It is only when we are alive that we can have money problems. It is only when we are alive that we can solve problems and make more money.

It is not only the material things in life that are affected by our energy. Someone with poor quality energy can never be happy, peaceful, or confident.

When we are receiving poor quality energy we can be emotional, depressed, nervous, and unsure of ourselves. We think too much and have a negative view of life. We can't inspire other people or enjoy ourselves.

When we are receiving good quality energy we feel happy and confident. We don't feel we have problems, even if life is full of challenges. We feel that everything is possible and that life is enjoyable. We are positive and active and can inspire other people.

Positive people are like magnets, attracting positive energy, positive experiences and positive people towards them. Negative people are the opposite. People avoid them; they attract negative experiences and negative energy.

Quality energy = quality life

Some people have a very high quality of life. They have very high spirit; they’re very happy and healthy; they have lots of ideas and lots of energy. But some people’s life is completely depressed; they’re sick; they have no ideas, no spirit, no will, no relationship; their life is a big mess.

Why can two human beings get such different life results? Because their life energy is different. When you have quality energy you have quality life results. When you have no quality energy your life is a mess.

When you receive quality energy from the universe you can’t have negative emotions, because you feel happy. When you’re happy you can release diseases and solve problems. When you have plenty of energy you can do good business, and make money. Energy makes you creative and positive and gives you high spirit all the time.

Universe energy is much more powerful and much wiser than we are. We can just trust and let energy work.

This is the new life technology. When you receive fresh energy you receive solutions to problems; you receive new ideas and enthusiasm; you receive peace and happiness; you get an easier life. All you need to do is plug in to the energy, plug in to the universe.

Life Technology is the most powerful technology of all, because it’s universe technology. It’s not man-made.

How to receive quality energy

Your life is determined by your energy. Energy is life itself and you’re connected with that energy. Without energy you have no life. Your life is dependent upon your quality of energy.

Everything you do requires energy.

After work you feel tired. When you cry you feel tired. Taking care of the kids makes you tired. Lots of sex makes you tired. Running a marathon makes you feel tired. When you worry all day, you’re exhausted in the evening. When you concentrate all day you’re exhausted. When you think all day you feel exhausted.

When you’re happy, relaxed and peaceful you automatically receive positive energy. You’re more open and you can receive energy from nature, from the universe. You don’t feel tired. You feel alive. Nothing bothers you. You have high spirit. If you’re happy and free when you work, you don’t get tired. You receive energy all day. Even though you are using energy, you are also receiving fresh energy all the time. This fresh energy balances your body.

When you’re tense, stressed, angry or nervous you can’t receive fresh energy. You are closed and everything is negative. When you are emotional you use more energy than you receive. Then you lose balance, which makes you tired and eventually sick.

Many people think "I'll be happy when I'm healthy" or "I'll be happy when I have a good relationship". This is the wrong way round. If you are happy it is easy to become healthy. If you are happy you can attract a good relationship.

So how can you be happy and relaxed in a difficult situation? If you truly understand that being happy will improve your energy, and that improving your energy will improve your situation, it is easy to be happy. You need to prove it a few times and then it is easier to believe it.

The effect on our health is obvious. It is common knowledge now that positive thinking can help you, but not so many people are aware that being happy can cure the most serious illnesses - if you know how. The only way to improve when you are down is to find a way to lift your spirits and become happy. It doesn't matter how hard it is. If it works it's worth it.

It is easy to say be happy; it is easy to think be happy; but it is not easy for most people to really be happy when they are very ill. We all tend to think negative thoughts, worry and be afraid when our health is bad.

How does energy come from the universe?

We receive energy from the universe automatically. We’re surrounded by energy. Energy is everywhere. We just need to breathe it in. We just need to let energy come to us. We don’t need to go and get it. We don’t need to look for it. That’s the new technology – life technology – universe technology. When we allow energy in the technology begins to work.

The newest energy technology provides a unique way of solving human problems. A single solution covers all areas of life. It cannot be seen or touched but it can be judged by its results. By learning to 'switch on' this new form of 'life software' you can change your life programme from sick to healthy, from poor to rich, from depressed to happy, from lonely to loved.

Universe energy will transform human life. In the future we will not be able to imagine living without it.

Energy is the key

So when you’re always receiving fresh energy, you always have creative ideas. You always enjoy life, and you have no problems. Like this, you can receive and connect with the most powerful, positive energy.

And this influences everything in your life - your lover, your business, your friends. You automatically shine on other people.

And then they naturally want to listen to you; they fall in love with you easily; they’re happy to pay you; they enjoy socializing with you; they respect you, and they want to learn from you - because you’re bright, and your energy’s different.

If you find people avoid you or ignore you; or they hurt you or burgle you; or they attack you or treat you very badly it means your energy is dark. You’re not shining and positive. You have too much negative energy.

If you understand this you’re really lucky. It’s the key to turn life around. If you understand what energy is, and you use this technology, you’ll have energy with you all the time.

Energy - essential for life.

“A small band of scientists…realised the very underpinning of our universe was a sea of heaving energy – one vast quantum field. If this were true, everything would be connected to everything else like some invisible web.
