Water in many respects is a good
analogy for our
creative life energy. It is normally free to flow and will take
the shape of its container. When water freezes, it is no longer free
to move and holds its form until it melts. If the water is in a
flowing stream of some type, as the water freezes, less and less
water is free to flow and eventually the flow can be completely
stopped.
If we look at a calm body of water, as the temperature slows
decreases, the water will slowly form a thin, invisible sheet of ice
across the entire surface of the body of water. If the water stays
calm, and the water continues to cool, the sheet of ice become
thicker and thinker. Eventually it becomes a solid piece of ice
capable of supporting large weights.
So too with
energy consciousness. As consciousness continues to hold focus
on a given clear intention, not disrupted by other thoughts, the
energy of energy consciousness “condenses” itself into a denser and
denser form until it is eventually experienced as a physical
experience or creation. Additionally, as our
creative life energy “solidifies” less is available to create
something else. In this regard, often a sacrifice of the existing
created form, whole or in part, needs to occur to free up the energy
for the new creation. If we refuse to let go of the exist form and
yet hold our desire to create the new, we will create a
dark night of the soul. If we let go of all that needs to be let
go and allow ourselves to flow freely, we can have a
kundalini experience. We can experience great pleasure in the
freeing of our bound energy.
The problem with this analogy is that water freezes because thermal
energy or heat energy is removed from the water. However, as
energy consciousness “condenses” into physical reality nothing
is removed and nothing is added, it only reshapes itself based on
the intention of consciousness. What is removed if our freedom of
movement. So if you wish, you can consider our freedom of movement
as the heat within water. As we remove the heat, our freedom, we
solidify ourselves into a fixed and rigid forms. To free ourselves,
we must and heat, we must add freedom to our lives. We add freedom
by letting go of what we think and believe and how we think the
world needs to work.
The beauty of the analogy is that almost everyone is familiar with
ice and water and one can readily sees that ice and water are just
different forms of the same thing. The key to understanding is that
there is not spirit and there is no physical. There is just the
“stuff” of creation existing in a
localized or non localized form and we readily switch from one
to the other if we properly focus our attention and awareness and
choose a perspective that allows us to see what we desire to
see.
