Stackable energy

http://gaiasocial.org.br/novo/downloads/pi-stacking-energy-i12.jpg
I believe in energy existing in our lives in a manner that is very logical and has meaning, intent, substance and results from the gift we are given of Free Will.  I also believe that all of the above is helped along with a gentle guiding hand on our respective rudders, nudging us this way, prompting our attention to take that tiny, often overlooked back road, or to hold the door for that stranger, to engage in a seemingly random conversation...all in order to encourage our steps in the next best direction.

Why am I saying all of this?  For the past two years, (and I have mentioned this in several recent blog posts, so forgive the slight repetition here) I have been going through a transition - something I've called an incubation process, and other times I've dubbed it "useful limbo".  The limbo part of the process appears to be rapidly reaching its zenith, because I am now seeing the jumble of experiences, the forays of energy, the textures, sounds and colors all beginning to come together in a bit of a rush.  This gives the impression, at first glance, that everything is happening at once and it can feel overwhelming. 

Don't get me wrong, I am beyond appreciative to see the beginning manifestations...a return...ROI in Law of Attraction terms.  All the earnest energy, all the envisioning and dreaming with clear intent are now returning in their inevitable, beautiful boomerang-like arc from their journey out to God/Universe/Spirit.  I often wonder how that energy that has my own unique Dawn fingerprint journeys outward.  What would the journey look like if I could follow it?  Watch it swoop and sojourn, darting deeply into this well of corresponding energy to match up to that particular word of intent....follow perhaps a more leisurely undulation into mysterious swirling depths of a different energy cloud to gather threads for a completely different intention, marrying it all seamlessly. 

I often imagine this process to be of some musical and energetic expression beyond our three dimensions that creates a harmony to match my own in a manner that is inexpressibly beautiful.  In fact, I doubt that the mere word "beautiful" would be sufficient to match what this dance of light actually creates out there in the Great Unknown where God/Universe/Spirit delights in weaving the threads, sparks and notes together for each of us. 

And so it dallies out there, performing an acrobatic feat beyond our human ken, twirling madly in some areas, drifting as lazily and gently as an autumn leaf in others, collecting the energy with an application of time that fits my unique harmony.  As it begins to return to me, my human mind, my human heart and human eyes see it as wondrous, but also slightly chaotic.  I remind myself constantly that it is just an illusion that the returning energy only seems to be all hitting at once, giving the impression of actions and experiences stacking one on top of the other.  The reality is that the pieces of energy which appear to be rushing at me wildly, clamoring for attention and building up in a tall, narrow tower similar to children's building blocks are actually "stacking" that high to give me a moment to simply stare upward and witness my own creative genius at work. 

I am being given the chance to gaze at this high, narrow tower and see clearly what I have wrought with my own sincere actions, dreams, intentions and words.  I am aware that when I get past the first rush of exhilaration and slight doubts that always accompany each door opening to success, each building block will regally and purposely shift from the tall, narrow tower to place itself in a firm, rock solid foundation.  I believe the energy stacking sensation is merely to call our attention to sharp focus.  I recognize that I have not done all of this alone - that gentle hand on the rudder, that quiet presence that embraces me has been there guiding the thoughts, intentions and dreams as they travel outward and eventually return with purpose.

There are the loving, reassuring whispers that come softly into my heart, and with them a sense of calm.  Do I still feel trepidation?  Yes, to a degree, because I firmly believe that we either feel Love, or we feel Fear.  All emotions are derived from those two true sources.  So, although minor thoughts of slowing the mad rush down exist, much more clearly, there is exhilaration as I recognize that after a lengthy incubation and useful limbo, the time is approaching for forward momentum to fall into place. 

It is occurring as I write this post, with so many energy blocks in that stackable tower that as I tip my head back to gaze upward, I admit to a slight thrill of "What have I done?" type of thinking niggling at the periphery of my conscious mind.  I don't spend much energy focusing on those doubts, as I recognize them to be a natural part of moving forward.  Caution is never a bad partner to take along on any rush into our personal, individual futures.  That being said, I am more inclined to simply stare up at that sparkling, brightly faceted narrow tower of energy and feel an immense satisfaction.  The layers and building blocks soar above me and show me clearly that I am now stepping away from the useful limbo phase into a moment of more mobile, active application of energy.

At this moment, I find it apropos that I am on this brink...full of aspirations and dreams.  This is a time of quiet, that proverbial calm before the storm, and I choose to view the storm as a positive.  It is a storm of energy blocks stacked very high, and as I was a strong hand in the creation of these dreams, I admit to liking how loftily it ascends.  Rather than quailing, I feel a definite sense of sureness and destiny, and overall, that never ending curiosity that drives me onward. 

I also admit to wishing, just once, for a wee glimpse of that energy fingerprint....for a wee moment, to dash outward in tandem into the Great Unknown and be a bit of a tourist....and perhaps I actually do achieve that in a different state.  It is all tied intrinsically together, after all, to produce the individual stories we all choose to live.  I'll be content, though, with wrangling those stackable energy blocks into that solid foundation, and continue to build the Now into a bright experience.

  2. Thanks Anna...it feels like a lot, but that's probably just from the initial experience of it all hitting and stacking at once. When the dust settles a wee bit, everything will fall into natural alignment. That's my hope and intention! ;-)

  3. I can certainly relate to your current situation. Just the fact that you understand that this 'storm' is ultimately a positive, makes all the difference. I look forward to seeing where this newest journey takes you.

    Love,
    Marie

  5. I concur, and without being redundant, I feel we perhpas have been on similar roller coasters in the same park. ;) I find it is rewarding and refreshing to where after some time, the pieces of the puzzle fall together to finally look like the kitten on the box lid. Godspeed my friend!

  6. It sounds like you've got the perfect attitude to deal with any bumps that come in this new direction. I love your positive outlook on everything.

  7. Perhaps this energy you feel is a universal shift happening...as I have heard from so many that the time is coming and those who have set good intentions and have focused themselves, are now feeling all this come "boomeranging" back. I also feel that so much positive energy is filtering in from the intentions I set that it almost feels unbearable at times...I love this post Dawn and I truly believe you deserve all that you set out to do...or all that the divine in you set out to do. Wondering if you'd like to include this post on Writers Rising and be a contributor there? If so, send me an e-mail @ kathyjenkins@hotmail.com.

  8. As the old hymn says, 'Go Tell it On the Mountain' friend and let your voice bellow and reverberate your energy throughout the world. The imagery of stackable energy is huge. It de-myths the power of walls and creates an image of knocking walls down to build a new floor from which to build. I sent two photos to your email that leaped out to me from your writing. Bellow and bellow loud! Let the Tarzan within cry out and may you and the dolphins dance alongside the rudder's power. Well done!

  9. My goodness, I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to come home, pull up my blog page and read all the thoughtful comments posted on this newest article. I am full of smiles as a result!

    Marie, thank you for your comment on focusing on the positive aspects of this experience. It can be so easy to get overwhelmed and allow nerves & fears to let your feet become frozen to the ground. I do feel those emotions, but the stronger energy at hand tells me to keep smiling & embrace all the seeming chaos - it is actually a good sort of chaos!
    Much love back to you, my friend. Thank you for visiting, reading and joining in the journey!

    Janie, it is a very interesting time for me! I go through these cycles, as we all do, and when a new one begins to manifest is brings a lot of turmoil, new energy and many changes to adjust to. Stay tuned & thank you for believing in me so strongly.

    Tony, funny you should leave the comment you did - I thought perhaps we were visiting the same amusement park on a regular basis! I agree w/ you, it is definitely refreshing to begin to see order falling into place out of the necessary chaos. I find that I am seeing a common chord with a handful of strong writing friends I am meeting via blogging - we're all immersed in a similar pool, all working on manuscripts that are nearing culmination and ready for submitting to publishers. I wasn't kidding when I said in a comment on one of your blogs that I expect to see you on the writing/speaking/touring circuit in the near future! Namaste' and Godspeed back to you, my friend - it's an exciting time for many of us!

    Dave, thanks for the nice words! I've always been a glass half full type of person, and sometimes that annoys those around me to no end. I choose to hold on to the positive perspective & my rose colored glasses - the view suits me and as you accurately mentioned, it does help me to navigate the inevitable bumps that occur. Thank you for stopping by today!

    Katherine, I just replied to you via email about Writers Rising. What a wonderful opportunity to be given on Valentine's Day! I choose to see that as the most positive of signs. I agree w/ you about the Universal shifting of energies that is occurring. Many of us are recognizing it and adapting, lifting and increasing our own vibrations. We don't know what the future holds, but for me, right this moment, it holds large and exciting possibilities. I loved your comment, my friend.

    And finally, my sweet Beth, you just leave me smiling in delight with your words. The old spiritual hymns have such dynamic power, I have always felt, and I loved that you applied "Go tell it on the mountain" to my article post today. I rec'd your photos also, and replied to your email. I see value in adding photos to future blogs - it's a good tool to tie the theme together. Thank you, Beth, for wrapping me in that beautiful, warm energy of yours.

    To all of you who left such lovely comments, thank you. You touched me more than I can put into words. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you in return, and a heartfelt Namaste' to you all.

    ~ Dawn

  10. I have one of the worst colds in history, so I'm not going to try to convey my message in words, other than this is my new, favorite blog posts!

    Beautifully written.

  12. Marty, I hope the cold goes away soon - you deserve to be healthy for the rest of the year! Your short comment was sufficient, and I value it just as much as if you had written several paragraphs. Thank you, my friend.

    Kathy, I'll pull your blog up later this evening - my goodness, an invitation to become a Writers Rising contributor, all this positivity w/ comments and an award. This has been a beautiful Valentine's Day!

  13. Wow!! How eloquently you describe this journey, I felt I was experiencing it with you!

  14. Dear Sweet Dawn, I'm thrilled that things are beginning to happen for you. It is an amazing process to see our thoughts & dreams come back to us fulfilled. Sometimes not exactly the way we wanted them to but always in a great fulfilling way. Ride the wave my friend.

    Hugs,

    Bill

  15. Angel Guided, thank you for visiting and reading my post. I think that's one of the best compliments a writer can receive, when a reader says they felt they were experiencing it as they read the words! That gave me a big smile to start the day.

    Bill, I'm happy things are beginning to make sense and fall into logical order too! And you know, the fact that they rarely happen as we would envision is, in reality, the true blessing because the reality is always tenfold GREATER, more creative and just all around BETTER than we can ever envision. That's the uber cool part of prayer, manifesting, LOA, etc.!

    Hugs back to you & Happy Monday!

  16. I like the idea of Love and Fear be the only 2 sources of all emotions. Haven't thought about it this way but now when you mentioned it, I agree you are right.

    I wish for you that whatever feelings you have deep within your heart they will all rise out from love, not from fear.

    Good luck with your life journey!

  18. Lena, thanks for stopping by! I cannot remember where I ran across the truth of Love & Fear being the two main emotions - everything else derives from those two sources. It was years ago and it was one of those moments of epiphany for me too! Thank you for the good wishes - life is beautiful and I'm enjoying the Now.

    Marcime, so good to see you here from Writers Rising. I'm still working my way through getting familiar w/ everyone in the group over there & so far am loving the blog content. I'll pop over to visit you tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for the token of appreciation! Nods from fellow writers are always treasured. Looking forward to getting to know you better via blogging!

  21. Marcella, you're one of my golden discoveries. That's what I call people who sparkle brightly. Thank you for following - I'm following you too! I need to be educated on blogroll details, because I've heard that word in reference to about 4 different things. What does your version reference? (email me! sds2965@msn.com) I am so looking forward to your writing, and I've promised myself the treat of digging through your archives bit by bit when I have a free moment.

    Erana, what a beautiful suggestion - I love it, and I will, indeed, take your advice! I've always said the journey is more than half the fun of Life...all the unexpected moments, brightly shining new friends, new knowledge attained...I definitely delight in the journey. Thank you, my friend, for visiting!
