If Wellbeing is the normal or natural state, then what is disease and how is it created?
There are dietary, toxin, and genetic causes of disease, but eighty-five percent of all “dis-ease” is caused by negative energy patterns.
Fundamentally we are energy. As noted in the "Wellbeing" section, everything in the Universe is energy. Every object of matter is also energy and has an energy field around it. The human being has an energy field. The Human Energy Field is the frontier of medicine and has been documented through research. Exploring our fundamental nature yields a simple model of health and “dis-ease”.
Like all objects of matter, our energy is organized. At our core runs a stream of pure positive energy. The stream of energy flows from the base of the spine up and out the top of the head. In the state of Wellbeing, the natural state, our energy stream flows freely. When
the flow is blocked we become ill.
What blocks the flow our stream?
Negative energy blocks the flow of energy up the spine. Negative energy literally is condensed energy of lower vibration than the positive energy in our core.
We can also think of the negative energy that blocks the flow of energy up the spine as an energy leak. Instead of streaming up within, energy on a negative mission leaks out the side.
To understand what negative energy is, we must view ourselves as energy managers with a system that is designed for homeostasis (to maintain the optimal state). Since the entire phenomenal World is energy, we perceive and manipulate energy from the day we are born to maintain the optimal state. Like a computer, stuff comes in and stuff goes out. As we grow we learn to manage the input and output. We learn to manage energy.
Each day, billions of stimuli; hundreds of events come across our path. The dog barks, people scream, it rains, you become hungry… Our senses pick up the energy and our brain interprets it. We pick up both external and internal stimuli. We respond to get our needs met and maintain happiness.
The main tools which we develop for managing our energy are thoughts, physical actions, the imagination, spoken and written language, and emotions. Even babies we can express emotions and use physical actions by crying when hungry for example. We learn most of our energy management skills by copying how our models, usually our parents, manage their energy.
Our tools for managing energy are more powerful than we realize.
We structure and shape energy through language. This includes thoughts and spoken words. As a culture, we are just beginning to realize how powerful language is in creating our reality. If you think that you are not good enough, you will attract situations which prove this. Negative thoughts affect all areas of our lives and attract negativity into our lives. Whether you think you can or you can't, you are always right.
We are also born with a powerful imagery machine, the imagination, which also called the third eye. Close your eyes and imagine a flying pink elephant. The mechanism that you use to do this is an inner eye located in the brow or
forehead. We actually create with the third eye by imagining. There are some schools that recognize this amazing skill and delay teaching written language to children so as to not interfere with the development of the imagination. These are the Waldorf schools of Rudolf Steiner. Most of us are not aware that we use our imagery muscle to create. We can learn to harness this ability at any time.
We also express emotions. Emotions are powerful energy flows. A single emotion can power a rocket to the moon. We can express positive and negative emotions: happiness, joy, fear, anger, sadness…
Emotions are the built in system which apprise us of the status of our well-being. We are aware of our internal state by how we feel. Positive emotions indicate that we perceive an event as good for us. Negative emotions indicate that we perceive an event as bad for us. When an experience in life is in alignment with our internal flow,we feel positive emotions. When an experience goes against the flow, we feel negative emotions.
When we perceive an event as positive, our energy flows smoothly or is even enhanced. When dancing for joy, our stream is flowing beautifully. When we perceive an event as negative, our energy flow is hindered. When someone yells at you, "You are bad", your energy flow is disturbed and you feel awful. Every event of life affects our energy stream.
When we experience an event as negative, while the event does interfere with our energy flow, the real disturbance to our flow comes from negative residues which we create after the event. We all create negative residues from negative events. Most of these negative residues are in the form of negative thoughts and emotions. We actually store the negative residues or energies within us. As we mature, we create and accumulate negative residues. It is these residues which block the free flow of positive energy up the spine and lead to “dis-ease”.
Understanding how we process traumatic events clarifies how the negative energy residues are created. As humans we all suffer traumatic or seemingly traumatic events in childhood. We all automatically process them the same way. During these events we suffer pain: mental, emotional, and physical pain. Pain is negative energy. Instinctively we do not want to feel pain. Because we do not know how to process the event and let the pain flow through us, we block its flow. To survive the trauma, we cut ourselves off from feeling this pain. We stop the flow of energy that contains the pain thus locking the pain in us. This creates a residue of negative energy in our energy field.
This locked in pain comes from our positive energy flow which we compress to form the denser negative emotion. The denser negative emotion breaks off into a fragment. The negative energy fragment remains trapped in our energy field until we release it. This fragment is locked into the time and consciousness of the trauma. It holds the negative thoughts and emotions of the trauma.
Currently our society has limited awareness of the repression of trauma and the storage of negative energy. We do not know how to let negativity flow through us and out of us, as we have no models upon how to do so.
By the time we reach the age of reason, we unconsciously lock away pain by habit. (Barbara Ann Brennan) By the time we are adults, we have thousands of fragments of negative energy locked in our energy field. Fragments with similar negative energy coalesce in large pockets. These large pockets of negative energy eventually block our stream of pure positive energy. “Dis-ease” occurs.
How does trapped negative energy create illness?
Our stream of energy is organized. There are energy centers in the stream which correlate to different areas of the body. The heart energy center for example correlates with the physical heart. The areas of our energy field with blocks do not have pure positive energy flowing through them. They instead have negative energy. The area of the body which correlates to the blocked energy center then receives negative energy. The negative energy affects the structure of the body.
Research by Dr. Masaru Emoto demonstrated that thoughts and emotions profoundly affect the structure of matter. His research showed that human thought and emotion change the crystalline structure of water. Dr. Emoto took samples of water, exposed them to negative or positive thought, emotion, music, or words, then put droplets in petri dishes, froze them and looked at their crystal structure under a microscope. The crystals look like snowflakes. Negative thought/emotion created distorted structures, positive thought/emotion created beautiful structures. Our structure, our bodies are similarly affected by thought and emotion. The accumulation of negative pockets of energy in our energy field damages the structure of our body.
The pockets of negative energy also attract like negative energy into our lives. If we are filled with fear, we attract fearful situations.
We actually use a great amount of energy to lock away the pain in order to keep ourselves from feeling it. It can be exhausting preventing all the negative energy pockets from flowing. The negative energy can be likened to a volcano ready to erupt at anytime. Addictions are often created to numb ourselves from the pressure of keeping down the negative energy.
We not only fragment our energy field during trauma, but we create ways to protect ourselves from future harm. We defend ourselves from harm. We create set ways of behaving and thinking to stressful situations in order to survive them. These are called reactions or defense/coping mechanisms. Since reactions are created when we are in upset, they are not positive solutions to situations. They are games that we play whenever a situation is similar to the initial trauma in order to lessen the pain or get what we want. Reactions are also modeled after our parents’ reactions. Reactions are “mismanagement” of our energy. They sabotage us and harm us. All reactions involve negative energy patterns which include thoughts, emotions, imagery, and body movements.
Whenever an event is similar to the first trauma, we immediately react. We behave with all the defense mechanisms that we created after the first trauma. An odd glance by stranger can make us outraged to the point we want to physically harm them. Reactions prevent us from being present to what is actually going on, as they automatically kick in with the same intensity of the response to the original trauma. In other words we behave as severely wounded children to mild events. We can misperceive entire events and other’s true intent.
Reactions include faulty thoughts that we create as a result of the initial trauma. Since all children are egocentric, they believe that whatever is happening around them is their fault. After traumatic events we conclude negative thoughts about ourselves, others, life, and the World. We hold onto these negative perceptions, believe them as true, and see the World through them. We attract negativity into our lives with them.
As a child our minds are quiet. As we grow up our mind becomes noisy as "a thinker" develops within it. The thinker is often called the “Ego”. The Ego develops in the left brain, the part of the brain that is similar to a linear logical computer. The Ego’s job is to protect you from everything and keep you safe. The Ego is a collection of survival thinking. The Ego picks up and downloads the norms of the culture which includes how to eat, dress, talk, walk… These norms may have nothing to do with health. In our culture for example, we do not laugh in public for we might be seen as crazy. Yet, laughter is an innate healing mechanism that brings people together. The Ego figures out how to survive your parents negative behavior.
Like reactions created when in upset, most of what the Ego picks up or figures out is faulty. The Ego is also called the small self or the thinker that is not you. In other words, you are not your thoughts.
The Ego reminds us how to behave in each situation in order to survive and look good. The Ego is not kind or gentle, and is instead rather blunt, harsh, and critical. The Ego may “speak” to you exactly like your parent(s) does when they are being critical. Because we do not know any better we listen to what the Ego “says” and believe it.
As the Ego develops, we become mis-identified with the negativity that it “says”. We believe that we are “bad”, unlovable”, “an idiot”…
As adults we may not even be aware that the Ego is talking to us and thus we simply take its words as true. We manage life with an Ego that tells us negative things about ourselves and others. We spend much time trying to correct whatever we believe the Ego says is wrong with us. We impose the Ego’s rules on ourselves and others. We judge and criticize ourselves and others based upon the Ego’s rules. The Ego can be so chatty that we may literally not be able to hear what another is saying. Without awareness of it, the Ego runs our lives.
As children we identify with the pure positive stream flowing through us, we feel connected with the one. Our minds are quiet, so it is easy to “feel” the connection. We know that we are innately good and that we do not have to
do anything but be ourselves.
By the time we are adults we are filled negativity. The flow of pure positive energy is partially blocked and we feel disconnected and separate. The Ego runs our life with its misinformation. We spend a lot of energy keeping our pain at a distance. As our culture has no context for this, we walk around pretending that we are OK.
This entire process of collecting negativity as we grow up is not a mistake, but part of the intelligent process of the Universe. How could it be anything else, since we are the Universe in action?
We can then consider the suffering from “dis-ease”, a message from within that there is something that we need to address. It signals that there is negativity within that must be revealed and released. It is a message to go within and explore. “Dis-ease” drives us to delve within ourselves. By sending us inward, “Dis-ease” starts the journey of remembering who we really are. “Dis-ease” is a wake up call to be in alignment with our true nature. Dis-ease is a primary impetus for the journey to going within, discover our true nature, and our connection to it all. Suffering becomes the gift that starts us on our way to discovering our true nature, to healing, to finding Wellbeing.
