18. When We Are Aware, Our Energy Flows!

Two years after her marriage, a lady went to a lawyer and told him, 'Please arrange for my divorce.'

The lawyer said, 'Divorce? You must have some reason for it.'

The lady asked, 'What sort of reason? 'For example, he doesn't give you enough money?'

The lady said, 'Money? I give him money!'

The lawyer continued, 'Or, does he abuse you continuously and torture you?'

The lady replied, 'Torture me? No, I am the one who beats him.'

Then the lawyer asked, 'Is he faithful? What about being truthful? Is he truthful to you in love?'

The lady said, 'In love? Yes. Now, we have him. I have the perfect reason. He is not the father of our third child.'

If our purpose is to try to give reasons, then we focus only on our efforts to dig up reasons. We end up with twisted logic - like the lady in the story, and become involved in mudslinging or faultfinding.

When we do not live a real life, we will be only living with the reasons. Our mind and life will not coordinate. And if we don't live truthfully, we create a new energy field around us called 'pain body'.

In our real life, we are busy living in the past, or the future. We are presently not available to our bodies. When we are not present, the energy flow inside our system can't happen totally and properly.

Blood flow has nothing to do with energy flow. Energy flow is far deeper. It is like this: if our presence is there, the energy flow will be there. If our presence is not there, then the energy flow will not be there.

If the energy flow is perfect, our intelligence will be perfect. We will be spontaneous. We will have the ability to respond spontaneously to situations.

The energy flow creates tremendous awareness and spontaneity. Whenever we live outside our body continuously, some portion of our body does not get enough attention. So it just begs us saying, 'I am not attended. Please attend to me.' That begging expresses as pain. When we give our attention, we will see that the pain simply disappears. We suffer from all kinds of pain - physical, emotional, and psychological - due to inattentiveness.

Discover how to build attention. Learn to create awareness. When we create awareness, we create presence that replaces the pain. Awareness transforms everything. Just become aware and harvest the marvelous rewards of energy.
