Everything is energy. At least everything in our world is. But I suspect that every every everything is.
Matter is energy. We are energy. Our bodies, minds, thoughts and ideas are energy. Emotions are energy. We are energy now while we're alive and our conscious minds remain energy after our bodies die.
It may seem odd to consider that thoughts and ideas have their own reality. Their own existence. But I believe they exist independently of the minds who think them.
Same with emotions. Fear, anger, joy, excitement, agony, ecstasy and all of their variations exist as independent realities. They flow though our experiences. And the ones we focus on stick around and strengthen. The ones we dismiss, weaken in our experience and do not become parts of our world.
Therefore it is a good strategy to mentally feed the thoughts and feelings we want in our experience and not feed those we do not want. I believe we should not categorize these thoughts and emotions as positive or negative. Simply recognize that they exist. And focus our attention and gratitude on the ones we want in our experience.
If we struggle with fear or anger, depression or illness, then we are mentally giving them energy. We need to practice the discipline of not struggling or opposing. We need to see these unwanted thoughts as separate from ourselves. And choose to see what we want to attract. And overlook what we do not want to attract.
Our lives are like our gardens. We choose which plants to water and feed and which to pull out.
Don't fertilize your weeds.
