clearing energy

In addition to the previous blog post, came this understanding.

When two or more people live together, maybe also work together, it can be compared to using the same workshop, as artist painters.

When they are living/working closely together, it can even be compared to using the same table on a regular basis.

Now picture that there is a person who doesn’t, for whatever reason, clean his dirty brushes in his own jar, but decides to dip them regularly into the jars of fresh water of the other(s)?

After a while, the other(s) will start to protest here and there, won’t they?
“Can you please make sure you clear your own stuff in your own jars, thank you!”
shall be the pivot of uttering some complaints.

Clearing and refreshing the jars is not much of an effort, no rocket science at all.
So why do they complain?
Why does developing a pattern of leaving that task always to another, not go down so well in the long run?

Of course, in a harmonious co-operative team:

• cleaning the energetic jars with the social mental emotional residue muck, can be done ‘several at the time’ and
• people will take turns to volunteer to do so.
• No-one needs extensive ‘ thanks!’ for that. It is a simple friendly in a smooth workflow and will automatically be reciprocated without any fuss too, so
• everybody can have the pleasure of staying in the flow of the work and play, without having to interrupt it for clearing their own jar individually every single time, when it gets troubled.
• it is even perfectly OK, to dip your dirty brush into someone else's clean jar every now and then.

But if this natural automatic reciprocation is not happening and it is within in the team always the same people doing the energetic clearing up after the very same other people,  to keep the mutual energetic space workable and clean….. than this pattern does affect peace and harmoney on a very deep level: the sense of team spirit.

When it occurs temporarily, or for an objectively Very Good Reason where it is clear that a team member can’t be  contributing to this part of the co-operation ( but shows then genuine appreciation for being enabled by others to still make clear paintings in this mutual workspace), there will still enough foundation for peace and harmoney.

For it is part of team spirit, to give (simple) support to those who really can’t perform a task.

The thing is now that clearing energy, is a bit different from taking dirty mugs to the kitchen, or getting a round of coffee for everyone.

Not that much, if it is always the same people doing that for the very same others…….a similar undermining of the sense of team spirit is going on!

In this case, clearing your/an energy jar is not a physical ‘activity’, but a meta-physical procedure, that is, as I understand it, an intrinsically part of being alive, it is a soul capacity.
Anyone alive can ‘do’ it.

It is even my understanding that a person who doesn’t clear energy in his own here-and-now in a healthy natural way, for himself and regularly for the people he is actually sharing the same energetic space with….. will experience feeling less and less alive, well functioning as a fully healthy capable human being.

The reverse is, to my mind,  also true.

When one feels to need to make a major change in life, go somewhere else, do something else, leave everything behind, because you feel dull and numb and out of sorts, ‘ not happy’ and experiences all sorts of ‘lack’…. having endless lists of ‘things’ that are missing now, that would really make you happy….

Give a try to consciously clearing your own energy jars!

Of course you can probably find a new place where people like to welcome you on the team.

Why?
For you are so good in telling them nice things about their works of art and about all the other fantastic skills you see in them, for instance. People like hearing that.
And you can continue the habit to let other people do the energy jar clearing for you.
Trust that they will feel good about themselves for it…… until……. they don’t do it with a smile anymore and start wondering (out loud) what you actually are contributing to energise the team spirit of this team…...

So, yes... freedom of choice.

But the answers to these questions:

• in who's jar(s)  do I clear my dirty life-residu brushes and 
• how often you I refresh my own jar
• how often do I recipricate clearing jars on my here-and-now team...

....are likely to have a lot of impact on the quality of life as you experience it.

How to refresh your clear energy jar?

Adding high-frequent small breaks, where you disconnect from all activities and relax your mind.

Mini-me-time.

refresh

Working on a Dutch website on the importance of taking short breaks on a high frequency ( mini-me-time) to keep your social mental-emotional state clear and fresh, this analogy came up.

Any water colour painter will know the importance of making sure you’ve got clear water in one jar.

The clear, fresh, transparent water is the carrier of the message you’ll add to it… the pigments you choose to add to it, in any shape you desire to form.

It is only, when you use clear fresh water, you’ll be able to preserve the lively light.
Which, for  those who don’t know this about this painting technique, is in a water colour painting not added by the painter… but is where the base, the paper, is still visible.

Not clearing your water on a high frequent regular basis will spoil the end result, so you do keep an constant eye on how clear your water is.

Replace ‘water’ with ‘energy’ and ‘water colour painting’ with ‘living’ and you know why I am such an advocate of regularly emptying a part of your system ( the energy-container) in an appropriate place (not over your canvas, nor somebody else’s) and get a refill of fresh clear energy.

It goes equally as quickly as emptying a jar of trouble water in the sink, opening the tap, washing the jar and filling it with clear water, before returning to you canvas.

You may think:" But I don't like working with clarity...!"

"Maybe I am living my life more like an oil painting artist... !? They don't use clear water as a carrier. They don't need transparancy on every layer to preserve the surface of the canvas in places, leaving parts untouched .. !They simply add the touches of light at the end."

Well, in real life painting you may have a choice on which techniques appeal most to you and when you master the skills, end up with satisfying results.

In this case here, I would say, that unless you are a car or another industrial machine, who get's a regular refill on oil (product) to run smoothly, who's systems short circuit and break down when water gets poored into it........
If you happen to be a living human being..... .you are more than 80% water, in every single cell of your body.

You do not end up with satisfying results, being troubled.

Refresh your content, at the 'tap of life'...... clear water, clear energy.

spell?

What does a palette of choice sorceress do?
Well, she loves to put a spell on you!
Let me spell :” I am loving my life.”, for all to see
Using a special magic ABC

Awareness (of)
Being
Consciousness

Applied simultaneously, wholehearted, all at once present in your mind’s eye

Or playing slowly, sequencial, ONE at the time, to gently familiarize yourself with the ‘why’?

In a Dutch sorceress here and now,

they clearly point to the very same!  ‘How’?

Awareness  (actieve bewustzijn)

Being (bewust zijn, wezen, wat iets is)

Consciousness (totale bewustzijn)

truth traits

What we find normal about dealing with money, may hold value in dealing with social-emotional interactions: exchanging values.

When you handle real money a lot, as a profession, working in a shop or at the bank, you develop skills to distinguish valid money in a split-second from  money that looks alright to the general public, but is not official produce from the banking system.

Sometimes the ‘fake notes’ need real close scrutiny, even for a professional, but very often it simply doesn’t feel right, or look right, to the trained eye and fingertips.

As an empath (with 10 years of hands-on professional information management under the belt), I can sense quite subtle discrepancies between what people really think-and-feel (intent and aim at) in relation to what the words they use and how it is presented (in form and actions).
As a professional in working with human interactions of exchanging energy, I can detect when when a message is suspiciously not quite fully genuine. I feel it, see it, when the handed out values are no genuine  produce from the Universal ‘banking’ system called ‘life experience’.

I can share some of my insights on how I can tell, using what you know about bank notes, as an example.

I am going to be painstakingly obvious here.
Please bear with me.

• You recognise it general shape, for it matches what you’ve seen before
  (only goes for your own currency…. a note may be genuine, but from another currency system you are not familiar with)
• It has likely values on it.
  (20, 25, 50, 100 are more likely than 33 and 89, let alone 32,5 or 88,7)
• It has a front side, with many things on it ….. and a back side, with sometimes similar but yet quite different things on it
  (the complexity and variety of traits is created on purpose, so forgery is discouraged)
• Front and backside are one ( same size, same paper, no layers in-between)
• Within one currency, comparing notes with different values, they surely are different, usually have a different colour and often contain a different main picture, but  also have many consistencies in their general lay-out. Certain traits are always found on the same ‘spot’.         

As a member of the general public, you will immediately doubt notes with very unlikely values, notes that are completely blank or black on one side, or cobbled and glued together layers of paper.

The same goes with really clunky forged truths, often called ‘ thick obvious lies’

It is really important in the world of human energy exchange, which takes place in energy vibrations,  to take into account that people may be bringing you vibrational values that resonate on you as a very unlikely 21,6 or 41,7, but are actually genuine, life-experienced truths.
Very much like the international banking system, if you meet people from another circle of cultural circumstances, sometimes ‘conversion’ is in order… checking with the current real-time conversion-rate going between systems.

Which may give you the impression that it is easier to detect forged values within the circle of people of your own cultural background. 

However, if you are collectively holding some ideas to be true, that are actually at variance with real life experience ( human nature)… you may strongly believe those note to be true… use them yourself even on a daily bases (for everybody you know is using it confidently and accepting it everywhere you go)… but it still didn’t come from the only real Universal banking system of expressing energy in motions: life experience.

The first checkpoint when you desire to verify the authenticity of a value is, taking sometime time to interact with the person bringing this value to you.
Does (s)he belief in its authenticity?

Not unlike somebody who is trying to get away with handing out a forged banknote, and (s)he is aware of that, such a person will behave differently when you hold that note a while longer, start to play with it, look at it with more interest.

When you perceive behaviour like ‘not looking you straight in the eye, attempts to distract your focus from this value to something else (that is either obviously true, or ..... charming you), eagerness to speed proceedings up….’ are equally true when somebody wants you to accept and belief something they know not to be entirely true.

So, playing with the truth somebody is giving out from his beliefs system and holding it with interest to the light, asking honestly interested curious questions about its origin, is something only a person who is honestly convinced of the authenticity will appreciate to spend time on with you.

For….. I know to be true…. people like to talk about the backgrounds of their genuine life experiences, the values they hold dear. 

So when you show interest in both the face-value (opinions, ideas) as well as the backside,  most people don’t mind at all to spend a few minutes chatting about that.

A great litmus test for authentic truth is 'flipping'it'.

For, like money has its marked value on the whole note, regardles from which side you look at it, despite the fact that they are opposing sides and different.... all Universal Truths are paradoxes too.

When you 'flip it', it will look and be the opposite side, but still holds the same value/truth!

So, trying to make fun of a truth, flipping it around, going to the exact oppsite side and inquire if the bringer is equally happy and confident with that happening, sees the value and fun in that too, is a great indicator for it holding great Universal value.

That can be done asking the question:" Can you put yourself in the reverse position of the one you are presenting me with now.... what do you see?"

Somebody who doesn't like people to flip his truths around, alter perspective, only want to look at it the way he presents it, from a certain perspective and distance, isn't confident that from whichever angle you look at it, it will show clearly the very same value........

The more enthusiastically and detailed a person can tell you about all the inns and outs and can answer in depth questions about the core-value system, with a genuine smile and twinkle in the eye, the more likely it is that this person has actually used this value himself over and over again for years and has experienced its real value in his life. Chances are, it is a genuine currently still valid note from the Universal bank of life experiences.

Give away trait

Which brings me to the main trait even the most well crafted counterfeit produced values I have come across in my experience, fail to re-produce with accuracy.
Whether the note is single-handedly produced by the person standing in front of me, or multi-handedly by the collective of his culture … that doesn’t make  a difference.

It is the watermark of Universal authenticity, the vibe of wholeheartedness.

Every single genuine life-experienced note of real value, has ‘ the heart in it’.

If you look at the image above, you’ll see in a corner, on each side, this image.

It is the only feature ( apart from the fibres of the paper) that connects front and backside and is only viewed whole and complete, when it is ‘in the light’.

And only, only, when front-and backside fully align (what you say you belief and what speaks  out of your actions, matches what you mean, by the heart of (your own) life experience…. then and only then, the heart shape shows welle and complete.

The paper is  transparent there!…
Most counterfeit produce can’t get the transparency right, so you can only see half a heart on whichever side you hold it against the light.

Many people don’t know what these odd little abstract vibes are all about, so .....often a mind-made reproduction/interpretation of it is made.
Where I even came across this: not getting the direction right on one side ( like in the image above).
Even if the value had been transparent, it wouldn’t show a heart, but two not connected shapes.

And then, when people are doing their best on transparency and get both halves of the heart in the/roughly the same place (the here and now, area) , it is very difficult to align both ‘prints’ and ‘cuts’ in such a way that it always fits seamlessly, no matter how often they give notes of this value out.

That only succeeds, in my experience, in genuine produce coming from the Universal banking system, applying the sturdy fibres and various colours of the highest values in the life-experience.

To which, every living being on this Earth, is very much invited to help clear the system:

With play, with light, with curiosity with taking an interest in both sides and …… making sure to give  people authentic notes,  where you see, inside/out  the whole heart picture: transparent and present, in any here and now.

Yes, clearing the system, also means testing the values in the belief system wallet that you got culturally handed over from generation to generation, knowing that REAL Universal Natural Truths, will always show up wholeheartedly, no matter where they are: fully, transparent, simple and clear.

Wholehearted.

The watermark of the Universal Love of Life.

the saying 'no' strategy

So often heard:

• " I am having a lot on my plate' (personally) 
• " we are 'having a lot on our plate' (as a group/organisation)

followed by, 

• "so I/we now say 'no' to just about everything'

It sets of all my alarm bells as being a risky business.

This approach may on a short term seem a good idea, to survive the stress of getting all the tasks done that are now on your plate.
On the long(er) term, this is NOT a sustainable wellbeing supporting information and energy management strategy!

In my experience, saying ' no' to just about everything, as a surviving strategy of ‘what is now’ , is saying 'no' to living life.

This is not a at all a plea to say ‘yes’ to things you really don’t want to say ‘ yes’ to!
Also not a plea on thoughtlessly piling 'yes-things' onto your plate, in a linair (stacking them up) way, whatever falls of, falls of......

It is a plea to keep consciously assessing, BOTH what is now on your plate, AS WELL AS any new appealing opportunities arising (here, now).

Replacing the question,
“What shall I say ‘no’ to?”,
with
“I wonder how I can harmonise all the things I like to say yes to’,
opens up the co-creative re-arranging powers of you and the ‘Universe’.

Feel fully free to not choose following up on this advise.

I am honouring my highest truth.
If I am aware of someone walking into a direction, known to me to hold severe wellbeing threatening risks, I will bring the information of what I know to work better, to their attention.
One cannot choose what one is not aware of.
All within the context of knowing that all people have full freedom of choice. 

paradigm fun

Two people, walking the path of life, are having a turbulent conversation about the importance of caring for others, in order to make the most of life.

The ego-centric person exclaimed:
”Others? Why should I bother with others, if I can simply have it all?”
The altruistic person replied fiercely in horror:
” I wish someone could teach you a real good life lesson!”

Since they are both walking their path soooo closely to Joy, the purple sorceress picks up on their turbulence and miraculously appears.
“ There is a difference of opinion about dealing with others here, I notice?”

‘Yes, sorceress, PLEASE explain how it is impossible to have peace of mind if you don’t bother with others, at all.”

The purple sorceress looks really rather puzzled on this request.

Then she replied enigmatically:
“ Peace of mind might also be found when one sees how this holds truth:
BOTH the ego-centrics AND the fully enlightened will NOT see the purpose in bothering with ‘others’.”

The ego-centric smiles and walks on, boasting:” So, I am right then!”

The altruistic person pauses for a second, gazes with wonderment at the sorceress and then laughs with a new twinkle in her eye.
She thanks the sorceress for this Really Good Life Lesson, that opened her spiritual eyes.
Fully spiritually awake now, she walks on too, with a wide open heart and peace of mind coming now from the paradigm of being one, knowing all to be interacting parts within the inseparable one consciousness.

The sorceress giggles at the magic and wonder of playing with words :

Two answers to the very same questions can be exactly the same in words.... and yet coming from a completely different deeper understanding and intention, produce a completely different set of behaviour and perceptions on what makes 'quality of life'

There is freedom of choice, even in choosing your paradigm.

crossroads: happiness or joy?

Having a fair amount of misery left behind me….what to choose?
He, look, a cross-road in life! How convenient. Guidance on my path.

Let’s see……
Hum…… is  JOY not the same as HAPPINESS?

My own personal happiness, containing all the things that please me, is indicated to be the left.

Sounds like  a ‘joy’ to me…..
Why is ‘my joy’ then indicated to be to the right?

Oooooo...... is this supposed to be the point in my spiritual growth where I have to abandon all the things that please me, personally, to experience MY JOY?

That seems like a no-brainer to me…let’s go left… !
I can always try spiritual growth some other lifetime.

------

• Why is this little playful purple sorceress staring so intently at me, freezing me in my tracks?
• Why is she pointing out that this whole website, where I am staring at this cross road,  is about being able to make both/and choices…not only either/or?
• Why would it be that those distant images of happiness and joy seem to have so much in common….?

---------

The sorceress:

Consider that soul deep JOY includes your personal happiness (BOTH/AND) , while pursuing your own happiness (on the expense of the freedom of choice and self-expression of others), is not heading for soul deep joy.

For your soul longs to resonate harmoniously with all ( not only the people you like better on face value than others, or find more palatable to interact with) ….knowing….. we are all one: blocking out another, is harming the (sustainable happiness of) self.
