Meditation has been the core of my life for over thirty years, and the one thing I have done with ferocious consistency.

One person meditating on a regular basis can change the energies of an entire home, and the energies of those that live within the dwelling. Meditate long enough and you can change the whole block. It is that powerful of an energy unto itself. It is also an energy matrix that Humans will gravitate to instinctively and desire to know the origin of the feelings that have begun to stir within them.

There are so many different versions of spiritual practices, and they all hold a piece of the whole, yet meditation creates the whole and creates a matrix of energy flow within the individual that ensures the success of all the others. I speak here from experience, as there are not many practices that I have not learned and done.

Why meditate? Because it is a natural function of every Human Being. I have seen all forms of Humans stop to ‘ smell the roses ‘ at some point in their lives, if only for a moment, and the immediate result is evident and profound.

Observation of the Human realm dictates that the greatest pursuit of life in this age is one of acquisition of energy, we act like a race running on empty, and we will compromise our own lives for the quick fix for instant energies to carry us into the next moment, where we will spend it with total abandon of sense and common sense.

We will buy anything that promises us more energy; pills, power drinks, herbs, pharmaceutical concoctions, magic potions,

And usually with the same end result of being as tired as we were before them.

It has been my personal observation that Humans get energies from the most obvious source: Each other. We are becoming a race of energy vampires, as vicious as the mythical creations of the Silver screen. This dilemma is most apparent within relationships. We are not inherently evil; we are a race of starving peoples, famished for energies that bring us to the brink of death. We have only to look beyond the problems that plague us to see this reality and sense the hungers that drive us to extremes with people we once held in the highest esteem.

Most relationships end over power struggles over who is controlling the energies of the relationship. Psychology has known this for centuries, yet the reason for this condition still eludes them. They can stem the tide of aggression within the relationship, yet with a marginally acceptable success rate.

Observation and experience in my own life and relationships sees one person within wielding the power of the energies of the two, and that person is the vampire that drinks from the other until they are too weak to resist, but not weak enough to render them helpless, either by the subtle seduction of appearing to be needy, or overtly attacking the other with the ferocity of a starving dog.

So where does meditation fit into this ancient picture of human interaction?

The most profound change that meditating over three decades has provided to me is the freedom from human dependence for energies. I cannot express deeply or emphatically enough the importance of seeing energy as our primary source of sustaining food. Once this shift in perception is made, all foods will feed us adequately, and with less than a third of the amounts we now consume.

I personally have eaten only one full meal a day for a quarter century, with no adverse effects, in fact quite the opposite.

I am 5’7’’ and have weighed 150-155 for over thirty years, and am in better physical condition than most half my age.

This is the power of meditation in my life. I draw energies from the air that I breathe, as all do, but meditation has changed me so that the energies I keep and ingest are not as polluted as the normal person out there. I inhale the negative energies that are floating on the winds, as all do, but then exhale them as quickly as I inhaled them, keeping only those that feed me with the highest order of energy.

I no longer require the energies of those around me to sustain my life, esteem levels, or feelings of love and self-respect.

Knowing that those in my life are there for the choice of them being there is a comfort to me, and to them, whether they realize that this is the way of it for me. I desire their presence, and love them for that presence, but do not need them there for any reason other than that. I do not need to ‘ drink ‘ from them, ensuring the love I give to them is pure, and they to me.

It has now become necessary to see ourselves as energy beings in order to address the issues that have plagued our behaviors for so long. We can no longer afford to keep this perspective in the realm of religious myth, spiritual toying, or even in the realm of scientific research. If we truly desire resolution to problems of relationships at all levels of society, the perspective of energy must change to that of survival based pursuits, rather than the evolvement of spiritual hobbyists that keep it locked into the frame of entertainment and sideshow curiosities.

Further observation reveals that most of our economy is based in our illness’s, even beneath the movement of recent decades of health, exercise, and healing, there is the reality that we are being spoon-fed an unhealthy dose of diseases and issues from marketing firms selling us the cures, from multi-billion dollar corporations to the psychic at your local spiritual center.

We live in an ocean of energies vaster than the planetary oceans of Earth, and equally as dense. We take in the energies carried in the oxygen as fish extract oxygen from the water, both being life sustaining requirements. If fish exist in polluted waters, they will surely die a slow and agonizing death, as will those that live in polluted energies.

Therapists that advise their people to meditate find these people respond more quickly to their expert advice and also see more independent work being done by these people, as they have changed the matrix within themselves and are processing internal negative energies quicker, while reducing the amount of external energies being taken in from their environments.

This is also the basis for what we term ‘ divine healing’ as sincere prayer mimics a meditative state of mind, allowing healthy energies to dramatically increase, restoring a balance between healthy energies and toxic. People that are healed in religious healings will rarely stay healthy, as they return to the old state of mind and the habits that fed them this toxicity. Most people engaged in self-destructive behavior patterns are lacking the knowledge to shift their ‘ feeding ‘ habits and are essentially starving to death, as a person that only has spoiled food in the home, and eat it regardless of the outcome. A starving person will engage in desperate behaviors, the condition that most people seeking therapy arrive in.
