We are conduits through which consciousness experiences itself. The whole point of spirituality is to journey through the illusion of separation in order to rediscover the joys and connection of Oneness. Throughout the process, energy layers of blockage are created by drama. The goal of the spiritual seeker is to awaken from the dream…
Ego creates dysfunction in our experience through reactivity and attachment. We get lost in the story, believe everything the mind says, carry the weight of shame, anger, and pride, and protect our misguided beliefs, no matter the cost.
It’s important to understand how our energy plays off of one another. At lower levels of consciousness, for instance, we participate in a constant energetic tug-of-war. Arguments cause the aura to get red, expand and attempt to absorb the other persons’ energy. This is why conflict often leaves one feeling tired, drained, and head-achy. In many traditions, this is referred to as psychic vampirism.
Conversely, when we open in Love, energy flows through us to heal another, and in the process, we too, are transformed. This type of energetic transference is never draining because it comes directly from the Divine. Stated simply, the goal is to be awake and pursue your spiritual path, ultimately dropping anything that blocks unconditional love from flowing.
