Human Energy.

Possibly one of the most serious matters of self manifestation is awareness of human energy and how we honor and use this personal resource. Human energy is quite manageable depending on the use. We can expand our supply of energy or suck the essence out of our energy with improper or ignorant dependence on our personal supply.

Burn-out is a term that describes the result of drawing from personal energy store without replenishing. Over use of energy supply isn’t always obvious. When the energy store is in the process of depletion, the result may be positive for a time.

The project for which the energy is expended may flourish. Admiring comments stream in about the accomplishments, and legitimate personal pride feels wonderful.

The reason for drawing from your energy is key. What if you are burning your energy for the benefit of another. For example, a woman will use her energy pool to nurture her loved ones. This is natural and can be a catalyst to increase the personal energy pool.

Often use of energy involves earning money. How many modern employees can relate to the time and energy that is their life that is exchanged for money? The job can be a source of satisfaction and interest. The job can be a source of energy renewal, in and of itself. Add the benefit of the paycheck, and this is a win/win.

But one doesn’t need to look far to find the employee who has used personal energy for meaningless or even detrimental activities that enhance the condition of another.

Modern life puts enormous and often unsustainable demands on people. The individual is the last word as to how much a lifestyle will cost. Assumptions as to a level of lifestyle are planted in the psyche of people, and in particular of children. Advertising and mass media are paid to do this doubtful service. For whom is this service undertaken? For the benefit of the employers, as a mass.

One’s energy flags in simply considering the web within which most of us live. Quite insidiously children are as often the target of lifestyle suggestion for the benefit of others as are adults. A case in point is the degree of advertising to children that debt in order to secure a college education will provide the best opportunity for gainful employment.

This may or may not be true; but at what expense? And why aren’t we educating against the concept of debt in light of the slavery into which one enters when debt is assumed?

Human energy is sapped under these circumstances. The good news is that human energy is limitless when it is used for true personal use. The reasons for drawing from your energy source may not be dictated by others. No one knows the inspiration that motivates another. But each individual has the same access to the energy source. It is not available to only a lucky few.

How do we access this unbounded source of human energy? Respect for one’s humanity is the first step. Recognition of intrinsic value possessed by you, allows permission to you to honor that which you find to be valuable

If the mind is crowded with ideas planted through ads as to what is important, accepting the energy-consuming employment that purchases the lifestyle as suggested by another, may be the first nail in the coffin of freedom and choice. Accepting the presumptions of another as to what is important, dishonors personal idiosyncrasy and genius.

The source of Universal energy will not replace energy that is burned in such trivial a manner. Energy will flow unimpeded when the use is for promotion of the intrinsic inspiration that is the indication of engagement with the Universal motivation of which we are a product.

One can draw from one’s Universal energy which is the life-source itself, in order to sustain insipid pursuits, for only so long. Similar to pollution of nature, it will eventually catch up. Nature suffers in the short term, but in the end, the result of pollution will not decimate nature before it kills the perpetrators.

In the same vein, use of natural energy to fulfill one’s reason for taking up space on the planet, will not be depleted. Each person must simply slow down and plug in to the source to figure out what brings joy and legitimacy.

Grandiose schemes are seldom the intention of Universal energy. Instead, human energy is a deep river that consistently sustains and nourishes people to represent our source of nature in the physical world.
