We humans are unlimited in our potential to comprehend and utilize universal energies. We have the potential to travel anywhere in the universe, and to have at our command all the potential energies that exist inside the universal creator. BUT – to achieve this level of existence, we must think we can achieve it – we must respect our own potentials – and we must be able to work in a state of compassionate detachment. It is expected that we will have blockages thrown our way – not out of meanness or vindictiveness, but because it is what each of us must personally learn and master to achieve the ultimate mastery of spirit.
We have all these universal energies we need to master as we must the energies of a horse we wish to ride.To achieve this goal, one component that we need is self-respect. This is not as easy to achieve as we might at first suspect, for each of us embodies the energies not only of our own genetic lineage, of our own spiritual family, of our own evolutionary experiences over time – but also all the energies of the various morphogenetic fields of earth, of the universe, and of the ultimate creation itself.
When dealing with the so-called masculine energies – those of unmanifest spirit – we can rise above the human state and rest in consciousness; it’s peaceful there. The so-called feminine energies are the more emotional ones of the human state and when we exist in body, we must master such issues as anger, love, and self-respect. That starts with controlling the issues, as in mastering the horse, but it must eventually lead to the transformation of the energies. And, as students of all walks of energy eventually learn, this is a spiral process in which we keep mastering the same issues at ever higher and ever deeper levels of universal consciousness.
As each of us masters an energy level, our consciousness becomes more aware, and we are shown an even larger community to whom we belong, and whose energies we must learn to master. In the matter of self-respect, for example, we may master its energy in our own life – only to discover that we can now feel all the permutations of that energy coming from all people who have ever lived on earth. All women, no matter how they have been treated – as queens or “worthless dogs.” All people – slave and cruel overlord – those being crushed and those doing the crushing.
All these human energies are a part of each person’s extended consciousness – the consciousness we all begin to experience as we expand and transform our own. Our own transformation therefore assists in the transformation of the earth. Soon, as this process of self-mastery repeats itself in one area of life after another, we become aware that a new stance is needed if we are to maintain our equilibrium during the process of continual personal transformation.
Here is an example of how this works. I’ll take a recent situation at my store, Crystal Life – currently serving as my own learning and self-offering venue. I’m sure many of you know that my work includes explaining the necessity to respect and honor all life forms and traditions for what they have chosen to master and offer to earth. And that this means ALL – dark and light – for ALL are experimenting with these potentials.
That means honoring, too, those who choose NOT to honor all traditions, and who choose to believe that theirs is the only valid way to work with energy. Some people are not open to seeing there are many ways to achieve the same goal of a happy and balanced life. I honor this diversity, and strive to meet their needs, translating the function of tools into terms understandable to their perspective.
However, I discovered, thanks to the following, that I had a certain level of expectation from customers who state they are teachers and experts in energy, and who radiate a certain level of expertise. That is a supposition that does not bode well for successful diplomacy!
In this situation, two ladies came in saying they were trained in specific energy disciplines, and were teachers. They were looking at some of our sacred geometry products, and everything my young staff member explained to them – they were determined to see was incorrect. In

fact, I could hear one woman talking over my staff member’s explanations, telling her friend these tools were fake and didn’t work. Finally the staff member called me over to assist. Now here is the interesting thing. When I approached them, the very vocal woman was holding the life energy ring in front of her, directing it to me, and stating that the ring was a fake tool, didn’t work, and worse, this so-called energy balancing tool was only making her feel off-center when she knew she was clear and balanced.
Now what was actually happening, energetically, is that she was encountering another way to work with energy. And as energy is potentially infinite, she was not balanced in the area the life force energy ring was designed to correct. But, instead of respecting the function of the ring and learning from it, she was denying and trying to destroy it. It is the same with any positive energy tool designed by some established tradition to correct specific issues. It works for some people. Why and how? How can someone from another tradition use the tool to help with their own personal transformation?
So this woman, not understanding the ring, was standing there, holding the ring between her and me, and throwing at me her energetic experience that the tool was fake. But, in fact, the ring was not fake and it was taking her set of emotions, and magnifying them, hitting me full force like an energy bomb. She was not respecting the tools, me or the function of my store. And this lack of respect, magnified by the function of the ring, hit a previously unseen level of my own psyche. I became defensive – a state that only occurs when a lack of self-respect is present.
Like my young staff member, I eventually gave up trying to explain how the tools work and invited her to enjoy other parts of my store. I left her to look about, feeling quite shaken by the energetic onslaught she had thrown at me through the ring – an onslaught that hit a blind spot inside myself. So I thank her for this very subtle lesson I acquired.
I also learned I need to be more vocal in explaining the need to respect the energy tools of all disciplines. A knife can be used for many 
purposes. Approach new tools and disciplines with respect. If you don’t understand how something works, ask questions.
Thanks to this interchange I had the opportunity to re-examine a lot of my own values. I realized –
First – As people start learning about energy we will be dealing with folks with a little bit of knowledge who think they know everything. They’re like a partially trained wild horse. Their energies can unexpectedly let loose at any moment. A true expert understands that even though they understand a lot, there is an entire universe of knowledge to acquire and they are humble in this knowledge. Humility is the mark of a true expert. Look at Jesus and Buddha, each of whom emphasized to their followers that everything they could do, all humans have the potential to learn and do, and more. They are the ultimate examples of the humility of knowledge.
Second – It is important for people to understand that energy tools and principles are in existence because they work for some group, some approach to energy, so it is good to be respectful when examining these tools. For example, that woman had no idea she was projecting so much negative energy towards me, because she didn’t believe the rings worked whereas I was aligned with the rings and received the full brunt of her emotional thought forms and energy.
Third – Those of us teaching the public need to accept such events occasionally blindsiding us, learn from them, and call upon our own team of energies to help us correct the situation inside ourselves. It is important to have energetic shields available to yourself that automatically go into action on such occasions. It is important to have a direct connection with your own inner team so that when a new type of occasion such as this occurs, we all learn how to act in the future. It is always important to understand that this is a very large universe, and the unexpected will occasionally occur.
Lastly – It is important to have a very deep level of self respect for your own self, and your own knowledge. Then you are able to politely stand your ground or fully step aside when a person is adamant in their attack. This can occur when encountering the hidden uncontrolled violence inherent inside people committed to polarities of any sort, for such a commitment means they must be equally committed to crushing the energies of the opposite polarity. This is true whether it is the so-called conservative right, the so-called liberal left or the so-called “spiritually aware.” It is only from the wisdom inherent inside a true harmonizing of polarities that one can rise above the situation to find the solution.
