A Parallel Between Physical And Spiritual Energy
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed into other energy forms.
Energy follows a direction in its constant movement. In a spontaneous way, it tends
to go from a concentrated state into a state of expansion. For example, after a
while a full glass of hot water goes cold. This is a law of physics according to
which all things tend to go from a high-energy state to a low-energy state. Applying
these principles to the area of our conscience, our thoughts and feelings, we can
discover similarities to these laws. When our thoughts (which are metaphysical (non
physical) energy are focused on the outermost layers of our conscience, towards
the external world (objects, possessions, people and so on), our creative capacity
decreases, weakening us on entering into this expansion and not having sufficient
power (concentrated energy) to take on negative situations and circumstances that
we are faced with.
On the other hand, if we focus on our intrinsic, original and genuine qualities
(peace, love, power) we accumulate more energy and our inner strength can grow.
This means that we are capable of creating, of having more willpower and, therefore,
strengthening our self-esteem. Positive thoughts are a high-frequency vibration
that transports a great deal of concentrated energy, capable of influencing the
atmosphere and the consciences of other people in a subtle way, transforming any
negative vibrations. Negative thoughts are a low-frequency vibration that causes
the energy to become dissipated. They weaken and block communication. They destroy
harmony (peace).

Message for the day 20-07-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be prepared for obstacles is to remain cheerful under all circumstances.
Projection: Generally there is always a wish not to have to face any obstacles.
When we begin something new we usually have a thought to have things going perfectly
well. So when obstacles do come we are not prepared and we experience dissatisfaction
and sorrow.
Solution: Whenever we start something new we need to prepare our mind that
we are sure to be faced with obstacles. Along with it we also need to understand
that these obstacles actually teach us something new and it is only with such situations
we can learn and progress. When we have such thoughts we will be able to remain
cheerful under all circumstances.
