23 - Connections
In order to reconnect our energy body to the incredible network of universal
energies, we need to make CONNECTIONS.
Through these connections, energy can travel to us, into us, through us and we
get to experience and learn many things which simply can’t be known in any other
way.
Imagine for a moment a sorcerer’s apprentice sitting at a table, and it is her
task to make contact with a small crystal, to let the energy of the crystal flow
right through her, so that she learns something about the processes of
connection and so that she learns as well to understand something about the
nature of the crystal.
The master has told the apprentice that this isn’t something which can be done
with the head, and that in order to understand the essence and existence of the
crystal properly, she would have to have a special experience, that she would
have to FEEL the crystal.
Now, she is sitting at the table, looking at the crystal before her.
HOW does she make this contact?
How can she create a connection that will allow her to let herself flow into the
crystal on the one hand, and on the other, let the crystal flow into her so she
may learn?
Perhaps it is easier if we point out how it would ABSOLUTELY NEVER work.
If the girl just sits there, angry and fed up at such a stupid task, or looks at
the crystal and thinks, stupid lump of inert dirt, then NOTHING can or will
happen.
Should she start to contemplate all she knows about this type of crystal, the
meanings assigned to it, about its colour, about the class of minerals from
which it derives, nothing will happen either.
What she needs to learn to do is to PAY ATTENTION to the crystal, and the
easiest way for a beginner to achieve this is to ADMIRE the crystal.
Let the entire world, the tower and table and the chairs, the walls, the master
and all the rest just simply drop away, and now the crystal simply grows,
becomes more and more. The more it becomes and the more it becomes the ONLY
focus of attention, the more we can see about it – and the more we see, the more
beautiful it becomes, the greater the mystery and complexity of such an
existence, such a structure. So old, and yet still growing – the crystal is
alive, it is stretching and reaching, it breathes and when we begin to LOVE THE
CRYSTAL, then the connection is complete, and energy begins to flow both ways,
and when it has reached a moment when we can no longer know the difference
between us and the crystal because we share everything, know everything and ARE
everything – then we have truly learned something important.
We only have true power over that which we love.
And how great our power is to change, or heal, is directly proportional to how
great our power to love is.
