Redefining Energy Reveals Its Role in Healing

Science has long defined energy as “the ability to do work.”

That definition confines energy strictly to the material universe. The ability to heat water; the ability to push pistons that drive a locomotive; the ability to turn turn the turbines that generate electricity for lighting and other uses. These are examples of the ability to do work.

Many of us sense intuitively, however, that the ultimate source of healing is not material. In order to understand fully the connection between energy and healing, we need a new, expanded definition for energy that transcends the limitations of a strictly material view of healing.

Energy, therefore, is “the ability to love.”

This deceptively simple redefinition of energy holds profound implications. The ability to love encompasses--but is not limited to--the ability to do work.

The ability to love embraces and addresses spiritual, emotional and mental realities as well as the physical universe.

The ability to love also has direct bearing on healing at levels. Spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical diseases are both symptoms and results of blocked, obstructed, or reduced ability to love.

Understand that the ability to love always begins with self and then flows to others. We cannot offer to anyone else, Inlcuding God, that which we have not experienced and do not possess. If we have not experienced love for self and or claimed it as our own, then we cannot possibly give love to others because we do not own it in the first place.

The ability to love is another way of saying enlightenment, which at essence means, “to bring light to.” Enlightenment is simply the process of bringing the light of greater self-understanding and self-love to those areas of human consciousness that have gone dark.

And what has cast these disease-dealing shadows within self? What oppresses the human energy field and puts such painful limits on consciousness and self-awareness? What keeps us from knowing and living out of all of self--present, past, even future?

This is the question that we human beings have been trying to answer for untold millennia.
