The Interaction of Two Consciousness Energies

Have you ever had a similar experience: feeling suddenly angry or depressed, seemingly for no reason? In fact, these feelings can sometimes be attributed to external influences, such as the atmosphere around us, family members, or a childhood friend suddenly think of us in such a mood. Our hearts are interconnected; when we think of someone or miss them, they can sense it instantly.

Therefore, when you encounter sudden discomfort, momentary depression, or a sudden surge of anger, resist the urge to immediately follow those emotions. Instead, take a moment to pause and give yourself some space. By paying attention, you'll come to realize that each of us possesses this innate ability.

Someone once asked me: "When I am alone, I may think of a person I have a relationship with, and I usually have no strong emotions towards them. But as soon as I meet them and spend time together, feelings of resistance and unwillingness arise. Is this a result of the energies between two people resonating with each other?"

This is an intriguing question. Why do family members sometimes engage in disputes and harbor grievances? Is it because one person is inherently bad or problematic? In reality, many conflicts within families are not about individual personalities but are instead tied to family energy. For instance, if someone carries critical energy, it may be an inheritance from their parents or grandparents. They've been influenced by this energy from birth and might not even be aware of it. It's only when they interact with family or friends that conflicts and emotions such as resistance and anger emerge.

Why is it that we can feel peaceful when alone but experience heightened emotions in the presence of others? It's because relationships carry the energies of family and karma. Each of us is entangled with family energy and karma, and when we interact, the other person's karma (behavior patterns) and family energy become intertwined with our own. Therefore, when two people come together, it's not merely their individual personalities interacting; it's the interaction of two consciousness energies.

This principle applies to couples as well. They bring their respective family energies into the relationship. Perhaps one partner's family has a belief like "You must never betray me," while the other partner's family emphasizes "You must obey me completely." These two consciousness energies inevitably clash, and the root of the conflict often lies not in the surface-level argument but in the conflicting energy consciousness of their respective families. We become entangled in this without realizing it, making it challenging to find balance.

So, when we wonder why someone elicits strong negative emotions, it's often because they carry an energy that resonates with what we perceive as negative. The flow of family energy aims to disperse these negative energies. While this energy is in motion, meditation can help it flow more smoothly. Carrying this energy often leads to the development of habitual thought patterns, and we interact with people through these patterns. By simultaneously addressing these aspects, we can become aware of our original selves. Once this "negative conscious energy" has dissipated, our true essence, along with the experience of love, can emerge.

Allowing family energy to flow can resolve many problems and conflicts. When we are present with clarity, understanding, and awareness in the presence of energy, love within relationships can flourish.
