What is energy?
“A small band of
scientists…realised the very underpinning of our universe was a sea of heaving
energy – one vast quantum field. If this were true, everything would be
connected to everything else like some invisible web.
They also discovered that we were
made of the same basic material. On our most fundamental level, living beings,
including human beings, were packets of quantum energy constantly exchanging
information with the inexhaustible energy sea…
Most fundamentally, they had
provided evidence that all of us connect with each other and the world at the
very undercoat of our being. Through scientific experiment they’d demonstrated
that there may be such a thing as a life force flowing through the universe.”
Lynne
McTaggart, The Field
Energy
is the powerful force that makes us alive. Energy moves everything in the
universe. Energy produces change. Energy is life.
Imagine
the difference between a dead person and a live person. The live person can
move. The dead person can't do anything at all. The live person can feel
things. The dead person can't feel at all. The live person can own a house, a
car or some land. The dead person can't own anything at all. The live person
has energy. That's why he can do all these things. The dead person has no
energy. That's why he can't do anything.
Energy
is the source of life and movement. We can't do anything without it.

A
car can't drive without energy. A light bulb can't shine without energy. The
earth can't survive without energy.
Energy is life
As
long as we are alive we are receiving and releasing energy. It's similar to
breathing. We breathe in fresh air, and breathe out old air. Even though we
can't see the air we breathe it all the time. Energy is the same. We receive
fresh energy and release old energy. If we stop receiving energy we die.
Energy
is the key to life. If we want to have a good quality life, we need to have
good quality energy. Imagine the difference between a sick person, a normal
person and a successful person.
A
sick person can't take care of himself. He may need help with basic life functions,
like eating, breathing and sleeping. He can't make any contribution to society.
He is dependent on other people and needs to be served by them to survive. The
sick person has poor quality energy.
The
normal person can take care of himself. He can be responsible for some other
people, for example his family or some colleagues at work. He can make a normal
contribution to society and earn a living. He has medium quality energy.
The
successful person has a much bigger life. He may be responsible for thousands
of people in a company, or he may lead a whole country. He has the power to
change the world with his ideas. He can have a very high quality lifestyle and
is able to attract support from many other people. He has good quality energy.
The
quality of our energy determines the quality of our life. The better the
energy, the better the life.

Why do we need energy?
Energy
is the key to health. When we have good quality energy we are healthy and
strong. When our energy is poor quality we are stressed, depressed or sick.
|
Most
people, when they are sick, pay attention to their body. It is the body that
feels pain; it is the body that suffers; it is the body that has symptoms.
But we feel pain and suffering only because we have energy. We
should take care of our energy, not our body, if we want to become well. It
is surprising to most people, but if you change the quality of energy you
receive your body also changes. This is the easiest way to become healthy,
lose weight, look younger, get rid of pain and feel better. |
Our
relationships are also determined by our energy. When we have good quality
energy we can attract good partners, we can make friends easily and we can
cooperate with people. When our energy is poor quality we fight more, we find
it hard to find a lover and we don't make friends so easily. If we can improve
the quality of our energy we automatically improve the quality of our
relationships.
|
If
your husband has an affair; if you can’t find a relationship; if you are
dissatisfied with your marriage; if you are lonely; it is because your energy
is not good enough quality. If
you want better relationships the key is to improve your energy. Don’t waste
time being jealous, depressed, unhappy or angry. You just lose more energy
and the situation will get even worse. |
The
same is true about money. It is much easier to make money if you have good
quality energy. You have more energy to work and to serve other people. The
more people you can serve, the more money you can make.
|
The
Chief Executive of a large company serves millions of customers, and the
company can make a huge income as a result. A small company, serving many
fewer people, makes much less income. Somebody who is only capable of serving
himself may not be able to earn any money at all, but may be supported by the
government. When we have money problems we don't usually realise that these
are energy problems. We think it’s a problem with the government, or the
company, or the system. We blame the boss, or the president, or the cost of
living, for our problems. We do not realise that if we improve the quality of
our energy we will automatically be able to get more money. Money comes from
energy. A dead person can't earn anything. The richest person in the world
has nothing any more when he dies. It is only when we are alive that we can
have money problems. It is only when we are alive that we can solve problems
and make more money. |
It
is not only the material things in life that are affected by our energy.
Someone with poor quality energy can never be happy, peaceful, or confident.
When
we are receiving poor quality energy we can be emotional, depressed, nervous,
and unsure of ourselves. We think too much and have a negative view of life. We
can't inspire other people or enjoy ourselves.
When
we are receiving good quality energy we feel happy and confident. We don't feel
we have problems, even if life is full of challenges. We feel that everything
is possible and that life is enjoyable. We are positive and active and can
inspire other people.
|
Positive
people are like magnets, attracting positive energy, positive experiences and
positive people towards them. Negative people are the opposite. People avoid
them; they attract negative experiences and negative energy. |
Quality energy = quality life
Some
people have a very high quality of life. They have very high spirit; they’re
very happy and healthy; they have lots of ideas and lots of energy. But some
people’s life is completely depressed; they’re sick; they have no ideas, no
spirit, no will, no relationship; their life is a big mess.
Why
can two human beings get such different life results? Because their life energy
is different. When you have quality energy you have quality life results. When
you have no quality energy your life is a mess.
When
you receive quality energy from the universe you can’t have negative emotions,
because you feel happy. When you’re happy you can release diseases and solve
problems. When you have plenty of energy you can do good business, and make
money. Energy makes you creative and positive and gives you high spirit all the
time.
Universe
energy is much more powerful and much wiser than we are. We can just trust and
let energy work.
This
is the new life technology. When you receive fresh energy you receive solutions
to problems; you receive new ideas and enthusiasm; you receive peace and
happiness; you get an easier life. All you need to do is plug in to the energy,
plug in to the universe.
Life
Technology is the most powerful technology of all, because it’s universe
technology. It’s not man-made.
How to receive quality energy
Your
life is determined by your energy. Energy is life itself and you’re connected
with that energy. Without energy you have no life. Your life is dependent upon
your quality of energy.
|
Everything
you do requires energy. After
work you feel tired. When you cry you feel tired. Taking care of the kids
makes you tired. Lots of sex makes you tired. Running a marathon makes you
feel tired. When you worry all day, you’re exhausted in the evening. When you
concentrate all day you’re exhausted. When you think all day you feel
exhausted. |
When
you’re happy, relaxed and peaceful you automatically receive positive energy.
You’re more open and you can receive energy from nature, from the universe. You
don’t feel tired. You feel alive. Nothing bothers you. You have high
spirit. If you’re happy and free when
you work, you don’t get tired. You receive energy all day. Even though you are
using energy, you are also receiving fresh energy all the time. This fresh
energy balances your body.
When
you’re tense, stressed, angry or nervous you can’t receive fresh energy. You
are closed and everything is negative. When you are emotional you use more
energy than you receive. Then you lose balance, which makes you tired and eventually
sick.
|
Many
people think "I'll be happy when I'm healthy" or "I'll be
happy when I have a good relationship". This is the wrong way round. If
you are happy it is easy to become healthy. If you are happy you can attract
a good relationship. |
So
how can you be happy and relaxed in a difficult situation? If you truly
understand that being happy will improve your energy, and that improving your
energy will improve your situation, it is easy to be happy. You need to prove
it a few times and then it is easier to believe it.
The
effect on our health is obvious. It is common knowledge now that positive
thinking can help you, but not so many people are aware that being happy can
cure the most serious illnesses - if you know how. The only way to improve when
you are down is to find a way to lift your spirits and become happy. It doesn't
matter how hard it is. If it works it's worth it.
|
It
is easy to say be happy; it is easy to think be happy; but it is not easy for
most people to really be happy when they are very ill. We all tend to think
negative thoughts, worry and be afraid when our health is bad. |
How does energy come from the
universe?
We
receive energy from the universe automatically. We’re surrounded by energy.
Energy is everywhere. We just need to breathe it in. We just need to let energy
come to us. We don’t need to go and get it. We don’t need to look for it.
That’s the new technology – life technology – universe technology. When we
allow energy in the technology begins to work.
The
newest energy technology provides a unique way of solving human problems. A
single solution covers all areas of life. It cannot be seen or touched but it
can be judged by its results. By learning to 'switch on' this new form of 'life
software' you can change your life programme from sick to healthy, from poor to
rich, from depressed to happy, from lonely to loved.
Universe
energy will transform human life. In the future we will not be able to imagine
living without it.
Energy is the key
So
when you’re always receiving fresh energy, you always have creative ideas. You
always enjoy life, and you have no problems. Like this, you can receive and
connect with the most powerful, positive energy.
And
this influences everything in your life - your lover, your business, your
friends. You automatically shine on other people.
And
then they naturally want to listen to you; they fall in love with you easily;
they’re happy to pay you; they enjoy socializing with you; they respect you,
and they want to learn from you - because you’re bright, and your energy’s
different.
If
you find people avoid you or ignore you; or they hurt you or burgle you; or
they attack you or treat you very badly it means your energy is dark. You’re
not shining and positive. You have too much negative energy.
If
you understand this you’re really lucky. It’s the key to turn life around. If
you understand what energy is, and you use this technology, you’ll have energy
with you all the time.
