Energy of Mind and Heart

Voice : So how was your meeting ?

Me : Not Bad

Voice : Wasn't great ?

Me : I sensed so much negativity in that office the whole time I was there !

Voice : Hmm

Me : I mean if I just had to compare that office vibration to that of my house in the hills or my favourite climbing site - there is an incredible difference in the negativity and positivity. I am so sensitive to the energies that I can't even hold a conversation with some people. I know that energies of the people contribute to the positivity or negativity of the place. Do some people even know that they are radiating negative energy ?

Voice : Thats strange.. I am not aware about 'negative' energy.

Me : There you go again....

Voice : I think you referring to mental energy.

Me : Whats that ?

Voice : Now I am going to tell you what isn't written in the books. You speak of positive and negative energy. I don't see it that way.

When you feel disturbed and anxious with some people, you don't pick up negative energy - you pick up energy of an uncontrolled mind. Irrespective of what he is thinking, as long as he is engaged in continuous thinking, you will struggle to find yourself calm in his presence. They are people who strongly tilt towards using their mind over heart.

On the other hand, if you are with someone who is always using his heart, you will be at ease with him instantly. Never mind if he may be silly, spontaneous, random or even lack charisma, he will be loved by many. These set of people do things to please their inner being, are spontaneous, intuitive with little worry of the past or future. They have given room to develop their heart over their heads.

Its natural to feel good when you are around people who use their hearts to live life - they are actually tapping into the space of Love. Its is this Love which you often refer to as positive energy. Its simply a case of giving mind the place it is intended for.  

And its equally natural for people to feel restless with those people who are always thinking, who have such accelerated thinking that they can switch between past and future without a break. Sometimes, their own intelligence goes against them. Decisions are weighed in the mind, analysed and rationalised. The mind is the store house of doubts, reasonings, fear, inadequacy, insecurity, hallucinations and stubborn control. Its is this vibration that you refer to as negative energy. Its just a case of people living life using the mind over heart in their lives.

Every realised why you feel great with a puppy dog, adventurer, painter or a Saint ? Because at most times the heart is used over the mind.

Every thought why you feel anxious in a corporate office, conference hall or with a politician ? Because so much is focused using the mind, that the heart struggles to have its say.

This imbalance between the heart and mind is perhaps what you refer to as negative and positive energy.  

Me : So there isn't anything like negative energy. So if I sometimes feel restless with someone, its likely I am with someone who is pre-disposed to over-thinking.

Voice : And any kind of over-thinking is a mental activity that snubs the development of the heart. And life is found when you expand your heart, embrace the love inside, rejoice in freedom and find your true nature. Its tuned in to the eternal now and has no rationale or reasoning. You do what makes you happy in the moment and this happiness and love transforms others.
Too much effort is being made to develop the mind from the time you were born, went to school, college and your work life.

Me : Wouldn't the intellect come handy ?

Voice : How intelligent do you want to be ? I think you have enough to drive a car, use your phone, make a good cup of tea or even count cash on your own. What do you want from life ? If its Divinity what you want - then its only Love that must prevail. It must soak the mind completely at the threshold of Divinity. Has your intelligence brought you closer to me or the purity of your heart ?

Me : So using my head is a case of imbalance in my spirit ?

Voice : Use both but let your mind listen to your heart and not the other way around.

Did you use your head to recognise my Voice or your heart ? Did you use your head to choose climbing as a career when no one thought that was a career move, find your lovely partner aganist all odds, adopt a loving puppy when you had no one to look after her, buy a countryside home when you didn't have the money, call that friend to give advise out of the blue and save him, climb an impossible route when you were still injured, paint the wall with a beautiful sketch when you were running high fever ?

Me : I see your point..the most life changing decisions have been from my heart. If my mind had its way - I think I would have come up with many 'logical' and 'practical' reasons to never do all that ! In fact, the most 'impractical' thing I do is let your voice make those decisions completely against the grain of my thinking !    

Voice : Let me be your safety net. I know the way and the pitfalls. When you surrender, it means you actually only surrender your mind. Thats pretty much everything.
