Treatise on Spiritual Powers: Part III

Identifying Your Energies

Today, we're going to discuss the energies that are universal to all people, as well as the energies that are totally unique to each of us.

First, Universal Energies:

1: Material Energy - Matter is energy, along with heat, force, electricity, and magnetism (plus their combinations), as any well-read science teacher can tell you. This energy takes the form of mundane vibrations. It is what makes up our physical bodies.

2: Mental Energy - Similar to electromagnetism, this energy is also known as Chi, and is held in place by the Material Energy of the body, concentrated into pathways called Meridians. Chinese medicine, as well as many modern forms of massage, know of these pathways and see them as similar to the nerves and blood vessels, but not exactly the same, just as the nerves and blood vessels are to each other.

3: Soul Energy - Held in place by the Chi, this energy is unique, but universal, to all things with capacity for spiritual evolution. Unlike Material and Mental Energy, which are contained within the mundane world, if not the make-up of that world itself, the Soul Energy travels out of the body during death, and is able to evolve further, whether through new incarnations, interdimensional travel, or other more alien (to us) possibilities.

4: Higher Energies - until you truly understand the nature of the previous three energies (starting with the first), it is very very difficult to understand the nature of the higher energies that make up our more divine aspects, such as the Higher Self and Collective Unconscious.

Then, there are the energies that are unique to each of us. Here are examples:

- Spirits of planetary bodies that choose you as soul children (blessing you or cursing you with their energies).
- Spirits of geographical areas that similarly choose you.
- Spirits of elements, such as wind, water, earth, fire, wood, and metal.
- Spirits of animals, the dead, or even those of completely alien origin.

There are things to know about these spirits:

- Spirits are not always friendly, and not always divine. As high as the most godly vibrations can be, there are hellish vibrations just as low.
- These spirits compete amongst each other, and where one will try to hurt you, another will try to protect you if the antagonist is a rival.

Before reading further, do the following:

- Make contact however possible with a guiding spirit. This is best done with protection, and if you wish for me to help protect you, just let me know through email and I'll tell you when I've gotten the message and fulfilled the request. If your absolute first feeling upon reading the previous sentence is something not sure or negative, don't ask for my help, because that's your guiding spirit giving you its best shot at a warning. Not only is it a warning, but if you ask the same "voice" for protection and permission to track it down, and you trust your imagination to be honest, you will find your guiding spirit. Otherwise, with my protective help you will be free to ask a question to your surrounding spirits (the guiding spirit is always around you), and my protection will filter the question to only be heard by your guiding spirit. It will answer you with some degree of clarity, and this degree is dependent again on your trust that you're not fooling yourself.

Once you have contact, state your name, listen... ask its name, listen... ask it to protect you and guide you and listen...

If in listening you feel that there is a deception, break contact immediately and try again just in case your question wasn't quite right for finding the spirit, or the warning was from multiple spirits and you chose the wrong one.

Again, I implore you to look on other websites and resources to double-check and find some process that resonates with you. I'm not the definitive knower. I'm a seeker like you, and all seeking paths are unique if a little similar to some others.

Now, once you are sure that you have found your guide, ask it to show you your spiritual blessings and curses, and don't look for specifics, but rather simple emotional cues or subtle sensory feelings.

For example, if you see flashes of the Sun and it's a positive view, then you're blessed by the Sun. If you see a spider as a creature of horror and danger (but not death, that's different), you're cursed by spider spirits somehow. Every blessing can cure a curse, and positive energy always regenerates. Curses can be cured in a few ways:

1. Countercurses - difficult, dangerous, and inefficient.
2. Spiritual diplomacy - ask it what is wrong, and if it complains, say you apologize for the problem and bless the spirit with the intent to make it happy by your own love. The earnest love for an enemy makes the enemy a friend, with the sincere exception of stubbornly angry spirits. These need to be dispatched by your guide, which can be requested easily in meditation. Just ask it to save you from this spirit, and not let it near you again. Use every protective blessing you can think of, and just bless yourself and your guide. Don't ever curse another spirit, unless you are absolutely sure that you want to do that.

(while this may seem more difficult, more dangerous, and more inefficient, recongnize that it is better in the long-term, and easier with practice, as well as more foolproof with concentration)

Hopefully this gives you an idea of how spirits come into our lives.

Next time, I'll talk about applications of this energy in daily life.
