Energy -Beyond the human perceptions

The wind that blows now does for a purpose. You don’t blow it! Of course this is clear to you. What you would probably not know is that it blows with some reason and with some expression. Generally while taking our respective roles seriously and living each day as it comes, it becomes difficult for most of us to understand, let alone analyze this.

The existence of God is taken so lightly that even a common occurrence like the wind, which blows with tremendous power, makes one wonder! What if the world were to be completely submerged in heat, without any trace of wind! What if all we saw was bright light and never a patch of shade! There are several "what if’s !". Of course it wasn't you and me who started this wind.

Neither did you create it yourself; but we all remember that there is this supreme supernatural being who wanted these to be in this vicinity as it were. The point is that there are several things in life that we take for granted and can only do so much as to accept these on our journey called life! The trees move as the wind blows, as if they were whispering sweet nothings into each another’s ears, wanting to make people around them believe, that it is love that makes the world go round! You and I just happened to be there to experience it blowing and making them shake in a dance-like fashion. So how does energy feature in all of this?

Questions unfurled
Energy is something that we have all been born with and without which nothing really takes place. A deeper philosophy to this is that when the Almighty created the world he did so with some logical thinking. He used his basic fundamentals in creating and maintaining the existence of life. He did so with energy! Imagine, something must have created you, you don’t really know what that energy or source is. The only thing clear is that while you were pushed out of your mother’s womb, the one driving force for you to live was the energy that nudged you forward. It’s the energy that killed people in the Tsunami waters. It’s the energy that makes you driven in the world today.

So where did God come from? Was He existent in all forms of energy? Or did He create a chain of multi-faceted energy links? If that were the case is God also a human being, like you and me? We’ve created a mental picture of the Almighty and wherever we might go, there is this distinct image of either a man or a woman who patiently listens to us. You are human so it’s obvious that you would want to think that God is a big human being too! What if you were something else, would you have thought that God existed in that form too! Whatever your idea of God is, it is simply stems from the limited experience of who you are right now. If you notice it’s not really coming from any true experience. It is only coming from a limited imagination! And driving that imagination is some sort of energy.

Have you noticed that irrespective of what you do, there is a certain level of energy pushing you forward! Even while you are dreaming or as in this case imagining. You need a pace at which you form images, and even before you realize it, it’s a sort of an energetic field before you that makes you brood on.

An interesting find is that whatever you have so far known, has made your experience widened. The manner of widening your vision is also energy driven. You may have actually limited yourself to only your five sense organs, so whatever your source of energy, your experiences have also been party to these senses. Your sense of smell, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting, is created by your experience of your organs. You would not have realized that all of these are energy prone. If you were to go to sleep, you will neither know the world nor yourself, because all these are silenced and are at rest. The idea of the seven charkas or sources of energy, in yoga, have been stemmed from this very basic chapter of life.

Of spanning beyond the senses
If you need to understand life beyond your limited channels of energy, you need to understand and find out more meaning to them. Your sense organs are limited preceptors. They make one feel that everything can only be in comparison to something else. If I touch a steel rod, it feels cool to me simply because my body temperature is in a certain way.

Suppose I lower my temperature and touch it, it will feel warm. So, is this a genuine experience? Can you really feel the gush of energy through the act of touching? Or is it that when some one drives me to feel it again, am I energetically driven to touch it once again?

So, the whole experience of transcending your limitations can come from within you, or does it may happen from outside you, that’s the basic question. If you want to transcend, you may be in a position to do so if you truly believe that it can happen; else there is no power on earth or in heaven that can move you. Food for thought!
