So who owns the rights, or who gets to define rights? What if we had rights with no energy, or energy with no rights? How would we proceed? Energy without rights can be called slavery. Rights with no energy is stagnation.
Indeed, rights with no energy may be an apt description of the ruling class. And, yes, the USA does have a ruling class. We seem to have a partnership between government and corporations owning the rights, with the energy supplied by the remainder of the population. The remainder of the population is employed and legislated to by the government and corporations.
How natural is this arrangement, and, indeed, what harm does it do? Does Nature matter at all, or is it simply another resource? Have human beings evolved so far away from Nature that it is irrelevant? Or, alternatively, has the movement toward use of Nature solely as a resource caused blockage and stagnation? Is the freedom we seek, only out of reach when we step away from our true Nature?
To list a few of the types of energy that we may have neglected include human, psychic, imaginative, child, money, animal energy; along with energy of freedom and nature. We would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the comedic approach we have taken to feminine and masculine energy, and the ignorance of mineral energy.
In fact, creation itself seems to have been relegated to a status of unimportance. As we gravitate toward concepts of life that translate into growth and status, we wonder why we are generating stagnation and blocks instead.
And what is meant by stagnation and blockage? Poverty is an ever-present specter in our modern
world. Injustice comes to mind. Why is the prison population of purportedly the richest nation so large and ever growing? Why are profiteers slowly taking over management of the prison population? Why are employees so fearful of loosing their job and hence their income?
Children are fast-tracked into educational systems that grow them into premature adults and strip them of the precious gifts of childhood. Parents are urged to begin saving for a college education before the child is born. How joyful is that? Educational costs are exorbitant; and to what end? Is the fabulous career the panacea we are told it is? How much joy do most people find in their career; and is joy a factor?
What do we expect of life? Do we have the right to expect fulfillment? Will we achieve fulfillment by graduating from college? Will a promotion be the answer? Is the goal we chase, to retire with enough cash to spend each day on the golf course? What if, by the time enough cash is stashed, we are too sick to care? Then the cash is redirected to the elderly care facility. Is this the natural right we demand?
Religious institutions suggest these are the questions they explore. In fact, has the modern clarion call of “The Economy” diverted these honorable institutions away from reality, as it has many others?
What if the pure simplicity and reality of natural energy is the fulfillment we seek? Do we have the time and wisdom to fall gently into the perfect truth of Creation, or are we too distracted by the insinuation of wealth and power to notice that which is?
Natural energy is the right of everything. As the LGBT community says, marriage isn’t a gay/lesbian right, it is a human right.
In the same vein, natural energy is the right and joy of life. When we don’t feel that joy of life, it may be a symptom that we have veered off course. We may have been persuaded by the brash and bossy to become the tools for their need for power and wealth.
Joy of life and natural energy rights are the gifts of Creation. We need only follow the path that supports these gifts.
