(This is a continuation of Energy Before Form).
The world is a stage.
And it runs on your Energy.
Your Energy determines your reality.
More specifically, what you give your Energy to determines your reality. What you pour into gives it life.
People, events, situations, thoughts, forms. All brought to life and sustained by your Energy.
This is all good when everything is good.
What about when it isn’t?
When you’re in a situation you don’t like? When you don’t like some aspect of your life? When something triggers you?
You succumb to it. Or overcome it.
Succumb to it by bending to the Energy (anger, shame, grief, pain, etc.). By holding on to it. By acting in its grip. Oppose/counter/argue, or run/shrink/ignore/be the victim. Fight or flight.
This continues to feed the Energy. This keeps the situation alive. The people, situations or forms around you may change. The experience(s) will not.
(This is why initiatives like the ‘War on drugs’, ‘War on terrorism’, ‘Fight against Cancer’, etc. don’t/won’t work - the Energy just perpetuates more/keeps it alive).
To overcome a situation, shift the Energy.
How? By feeling the Energy. By acknowledging the Energy. By surrendering to it.
What does the experience/situation make you feel? Whatever it is, feel. Don’t blame. Don’t be the victim. Don’t ignore. Don’t act. Just surrender and feel.
This is not easy. It’s unpleasant. It may surface unpleasant/unflattering things about you (insecurities, weaknesses, etc.).
Feel, feel, feel anyway. Feel until the Energy teaches you what it’s meant to.
This shifts the Energy (gives it room to move/release and allow new Energy in).
Now act (if needed).
This is bending Energy and taking empowered action. This is way beyond fight or flight.
This is Energy before form.
Have a wonderful weekend,

True, in case of Uranium 235, natural ore, stays inactive but it start chain reactions, emit energy, radio nuclides and neutrons when surrounded with Moderator (heavy water) at certain design configuration, produces electricity.
