Energy flip

 It happened again. That flip in energy that I first experienced in early 2008, and that accompanied on and off since. The mind is quiet and vibrant. Heart-centered energy is pulsating, and somehow magically, the inner energies align with the outer.  Why do we have to spend years fluctuating between two worlds of (imagined) self manifestation and the mystery of 

S (tillness)

E (nergy)

L (ove)

F (low).

I wouldn’t know actually, other than observing that Awakening is a honeymoon period when we receive what we are, but that it is often followed by a little clean-up process when we have to face, understand and let go of what we are not. 

Spirituality 1.0 happens when we get tired looking for happiness in the material world. Spirituality 2.0 occurs with the energy flip, when the heart-energy replaces the preoccupation of our modern part of the brain, the neocortex. 

A friend told me about his big breakthrough. He had been a hard core seeker for years and eventually became so tired that he wanted to commit suicide. God didn’t let this happen. While visiting his family he fainted and when he returned he had an out-of-body experience that lasted weeks. His energy switch was entirely subconscious in nature but all the years of seeking set him up for it.

The point is that everyone eventually makes it to the other side. Everyone who starts following the glimpses of light that point to a world beyond the self-inflicted realities shall be bathing in it when the transition is complete. Until then keep chipping away with the help of mindfulness and devotion. A flip of energy is always but a step away.
