The Energy Way

 Making Waves

Stand up please and make a circle.

It is important in our Work that when you are sitting, or even now when you are standing, but particularly when you are sitting quietly as we have done and always do at times, that your conscious awareness of yourself – which I presume is there, it has to be there – is not limited to what is going on in your own system, in your body. The whole point of the Work is to connect everybody, sooner or later, with the universal energy, which is always there but we don’t really connect with it properly, or we don’t realise it is there, or most of you guys do realise it is there and at times you feel connected and at times you feel separation.

You need to recognise that you are a unit of life that is not separate from life itself, and not to have it in your mind as a knowledge or an understanding, but to turn it into practice. All the time that you are walking around, being aware of this and that, listening to your thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears, that is all focused on yourself as a unit – which is not to be denied, but at the same time as all that is valid for you as a particular human being, it is really important that alongside that, together with that, you put out your feelers and your openness to feel the sea of energy that is everywhere. And the more you do that, the more that whatever you do is coming from that sea of energy and not from your individual perspective on reality.

It is important that you recognise the significance of what I am saying. I see that in fact this is a continuous habit of mine now – except if something really takes my attention or some focus is really strong and I get lost in it, but otherwise all the time – to sense myself as part of something that stretches in all directions, indefinitely. And that doesn’t deny the individual that I am and what is going on in me in every way, but it is not everything for me, in fact it is not even the main thing. I feel myself settled and relaxed in the energy field that all life comes from.

It is important when you are sitting there that your awareness is not just on watching your thoughts, your feelings, your breathing, or even experiencing maybe relaxed or blissful states that come – I see they are coming to some of you, I could see it on your faces this morning in the first session, but don’t limit yourself to that because that is all coming and going. I can see some of you going into great spaces, this morning I could see Mishka was in some joy, in some continuous state of very high level energy, but there is no way that will stay; maybe eventually it can happen that that is going to stay but now it is going to go, and then you are going to hope that something happens that will throw you into it again.

This search, this openness to connect with the One energy, once you establish it, honestly, it is really always there. Once you establish a real firm connection with it, again and again, once it really takes, it is always accessible. Then no matter what else is going on through time in your life: the ups and downs, backs and forths, goods and bads, highs and lows, great experiences and losing them – this other level of connectedness with the peak of life itself, with the flow of life itself, with the energy of life itself, once you have that you never lose it.

And of course it is not changing. All the comings and goings: wars, changes of president, the banks going bankrupt and then recovering again – whatever is giving you hope, expectation, that now things are going to change in the world for yourself, for the nation, for everything, which may or may not happen, if you go with all these swings you will never find happiness, you will never find bliss, you will never find equilibrium, you will never find peace – impossible, because this is the way it is supposed to happen. It is not only that it does happen like that, it is supposed to happen like that. The very setup of life of human beings all being different is bound to be a continuous back and forth, in and out, up and down. It will never be otherwise, unless everybody is connected with the Energy Space and then there can be peace – but that might take a few billion years! But it needn’t take a few billion years for you, it can take five minutes for you, a few hours, or at least in this lifetime you can certainly manage it, that at least you find that place in yourself where you are affected by everything but you are not fundamentally disturbed by anything anymore. You have the richness of having found your true base. And that true base can never be just in yourself; in a way it is in yourself but it can never be only in yourself. Your base is part of the basis of life itself, and if you find your base and at the same time that is not a separate thing just in your place where you are standing but is part of something that is everywhere, then the power of that base is a billion times stronger than if you just localise it in yourself.

So what I am mainly trying to work with on this seminar – I haven’t really done any individual work with you, maybe I will before we finish – is to try to intensify the presence of the One energy. And in fact, although the One energy is independent of any member of that energy, of any life including mine, I see that it is actually possible, because I can see the effect of it, for me to intensify the presence of this One energy and to actually direct it at other human beings. So it is not only that I am asking you to put your feelers out, connect with it, open to it and join it, but in addition I am contributing to that by creating waves. I am creating waves in the One energy; the One energy doesn’t really have any waves, it is just one wave, but in fact, just like when you go into a lake which is completely calm and then you start swimming, you will create waves – so you can create waves even in something that is completely still, by its very nature still. So in a way I am creating waves in the One energy and seeing what I can do to make the waves hit you all so that it can awaken in you that same possibility, potentiality, in yourself, so that then the separation disappears and you can relax into it, the fundamental state of life that you are a part of.
