Metaphysical Art Explained
"ENERGY: More Types"
by Adam Blatner

Posted September 2, 2013

About 400 years ago notions of energy, types of energy, were being formed---gravity, etc. Before that, physical force, leverage, things like that were contemplated. About 250 years ago electricity was "discovered." Gradually, "electro-magnetic" energy was not only discovered, but the idea emerged that one type of energy could be converted into another type of energy. They haven't yet figured out how psychic energy fits in here---it's not the same "type" of energy, doesn't follow some of the same rules. It's not precise at all, and partakes of some of the elements of chaos theory and fractals. Really, it's multi-dimensional, and humanity has only begun to consider the existence of dimensions other than the three you know, or meta-physics---how stuff happens beyond actual matter, "stuff."

So the mandala for today is about energy, just to drop a hint that there are more types of energy than humanity can imagine. You now have learned and are continuing to learn about a variety of types, but while it's really obvious, your scientists and even philosophers haven't been able to get a grip on "energy." Maybe this will help.

The point here is that energy flows crackle. You can hear it in certain types of music, and it isn't just loudness or speed. You can feel into what "warms you up" to wanting to talk, interact, dance, create, be an enthusiastic audience, experiment, learn, etc. Curiosity is an energy, as is interest and attention. You can feel it dissipate when you are tired or bored, and often boredom makes you feel tired, "low energy."

It turns out that beyond the nature of the drive---sex, nest-building, territory guarding, fighting, play, hunger, fear-fleeing, chasing, etc.---there is the energy of the drive. It's too easy to lump it all together and talk about drive, or vitality, or wanting to stay alive or be lively or propagate the species. Those are such abstractions! And even naming the energy and noticing its rich complexity is valid---but I'm noting the energy itself within those drives.

Beyond and blurring with that is the energy to evolve! Nothing knows that it's evolving. Most people don't, even if the idea has been around for over a century. In part that's because it's "bigger than life," literally---bigger than one lifetime, "my" lifetime---much bigger. But then the sun is much bigger than the planets and there are stars much bigger than the sun. Still, the point is that there are trans-physical energy flows that don't just flow, but have innumerable complex dances, "crackles," "snaps," "pops." It's not just a vibration, nor a harmonic. I mean, there are innumerable harmonics, but there are also many discontinuities, build-ups of tension, releases of tension as it all flips into another form or dimension. There are comings together and separations, convergences and differentiations---these and other processes are energetic flows---that's the point. And they're happening, really, all around and within and beyond you!
The point here is to help you imagine these being showered down on you as a fine mist, or raindrop, or phone call. They are opportunities, coincidences, dreams, nudges from your angelic guardians that something is potentially available if you have the wit to recognize and act on it.
