Well, from a scientific standpoint look at Inertia. When something is put into motion it stays in motion until something stops it. Energy, being a constantly moving and changing thing, definately falls into this rule. If you were to push a ball with your finger it would start rolling, right? That's your basic kinetic energy. Now, if you have something important on your mind, or your emotions are all wound up, or you're consciously directing energy, you could touch that ball (not push it) and your energy would flow through your finger to the ball. It's a different type of energy, but it still acts in a similar manner.
Exactly, and that was what I was trying to explain in the first few paragraphs (once you bypass the intro)

Okay you take colors for example. Colors omit a distinct energy signal that we act on subconsciously. For instance, blue has a psychological calming effect. Why is that? Personally I believe it's the energy frequency that it generates.

While we're on the subject of colors, I bought a pack of "Color me Tarot Cards" the other day. The ones you color are supposedly great for beginners since you put your own energy into the cards, making it easy to read. It also has color inspirations and it says which colors are good for the cards based off their energies. A few days in, I lost the book explaining the color inspirations but kept coloring anyways. When I found it back, most of the color inspirations matched up with what I already colored while the book was lost. I guess I can sense the energy in the colors and already knew the emotions I was trying to convey on the cards. I just thought that was cool.

BTW I revised a lot of my theory and how I went about writing it. It's a lot clearer and easier to understand and it hopefully sounds a bit more professional now. I think I'm going to repost it here when I get back to my own computer. (I'm at my college's llibrary right now.) Just as before, I would love feedback only this time I request that if you don't agree, to give me your own theories on the subject. I would love to see what you guys think and what else is out there. Thanks!

I think I see now what you were trying to do... sometimes when I get an insight into something I end up going through all my already known scientific stuff in my head as if each were a new discovery, because in a way it is - you're relating it to a new way of thinking.

I had a further thought on this but I lost it. Someone walked by my desk and distracted me. If I think of it I'll add it.

Right but I'm also trying to take an unexplored side and coincide that with the already known side. Honestly, I don't believe my theory is new knowledge. I believe it's mainly not well known or cared for.

Energy revised

Postby Saria » Thu Jan 11, 2007 12:40 am

For those of you who had trouble interpreting my writings on energy so far, hopefully this willl be a bit more clear. It's also much longer since I added a lot again. As with last time, feedback is again very appreciated, however, if there's something on there you don't agree with I would highly appreciate you adding your own theories and what you believe on where you disagree.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally decided to write about a few recent theories I developed. A good warning to anyone who actually WANTS to read this: It's going to get very philosophical and both scientific and spiritual...
I guess it's been over a few weeks that I developed this theory and it randomly came to me one day while I was high. I know, that should void any point I claim to make here right? But before you get all judgmental, take some time to actually think it over and so far, no scientist that I know of has even approached this subject.
Ask any scientist in the world where consciousness originally developed or how energy was created and I bet you they can't answer it. No one can. But I do have a theory on how consciousness developed. Keep in mind that these are theories and theories ONLY. I have no proof so please don’t ask for it. Only theories under tests can become laws and I have no clue how to test for any of this.
Before we begin, I would like to familiarize you with the differences between ideas, theories, and laws.
Idea: It’s just that, an idea. There may or may not be a basis for this idea. It may or may not make sense. But an idea is just a thought.
Theory: A theory is an idea that actually HAS a basis and a reason. For the most part there’s evidence to back it up. Evidence is usually an assumption to aid the idea’s cause. For instance, the Big Bang Theory; we have the idea and some evidence but no proof.
Law: A theory becomes a law only with proof. It becomes a proven law once the theory is tested time and time again and has passed every test.
Now that we’re straight on ideas, theories and laws, I would just like to make myself clear. These “ideas” of mine have plenty of evidence, mainly observations and assumptions, but since I have no way to test my ideas, they’re not laws either. What you’re reading here on in are THEORIES with evidence to back them up.
I'll start with energy:
Energy is the essence of life. The Conservation of Energy states that “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed” leaving us with the fact that energy is constant and is constantly changing forms through manipulation. For example, energy changes as it transforms from CHO molecule to glucose. Another example is potential energy (a ball sitting on top of a hill) to kinetic energy, (the ball rolling down the hill.)
When energy travels, it can come from anywhere in the universe. Since it is always traveling and reacting, it leaves an impression on whatever it motivates. (You’ll read more on this later.) This is how we’re able to “read” objects and other life forms. The energy travels to us and we pick it up and translate it. Those of us who are able to consciously recognize energy from anywhere may experience trails of energy left behind on objects from the past.
FYI manipulating energy is the basis of all psychic work and magic spells.
Here's where my theories actually start:
My theory is that energy is arranged in a wide range of equal frequencies that we pick up and translate. Sound, in relation to energy comes in an infinite number of sound frequencies however we as humans are only able to hear a certain range of notes. Energy works the same way, there are an infinite number of frequencies but we can only consciously recognize a certain amount of them.
Okay so we have our different frequencies. What do they do? Energy is what gives us a stimulus to turn into an “emotion.” There are 3 levels of energy which I arrange into Dark, Neutral and Light. My theory for this is based off of the concept of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are opposites but no matter what, they always balance out. Yin and Yang are 2 halves to a whole. This is why I group the extreme levels of frequencies into Light and Dark.
All of the energy in the universe is either; Dark, Light or Neutral. To get this theory, we would have to learn how to recognize both dark and light energy:
Dark: Dark energy takes up the lowest energy frequencies of the energy scale. To recognize this, think of your worst nightmare you had. If you concentrate on it enough, that dream omits a general signal that remained constant throughout that dream.
Source: Well perhaps not exactly a source but it’s where we may feel it the strongest. On a spiritual sense, we have things that are evil, Hell, Satan, Demons. On a scientific sense we have common emotions such as fear and anger.
Light energy: Light takes up the highest frequencies of the energy chain. Since I'm very spiritual, I can only explain this in a spiritual way: Think of a memory of some spiritually significant moment. For example, being at church, a certain moment on a mission trip; one of those moments where you feel really close to the source of life. You feel safe and happy. This signal that the memory brings to you is the light energy you felt at that time.
Source: Emotions: Happiness, peace, contentment. Spiritually, we have Angels, and other celestial deities, also stars, and the moon.
Neutral: Neutral is the most complex and there are a few different theories for what causes neutral energy and that is an equal amount of dark and light energy reacting together and energy that doesn’t give a strong light or dark signal and therefore has a medium frequency.
The energy scale:
If you want to visualize the scale in your head, picture a line with a bunch of markings on it as your scale. Light would take up the higher portion, neutral would be the middle portion and Dark would be the lowest portion. In your mind of course there are boundaries but in reality, it's infinite.
If you're still having trouble with that, think of the pH scale of acids and bases. Below 7 is an acid, above 7 is a base and 7 are neutral. It's like that but on a much greater scale.
So energy is always active and changing. We have our light, dark and neutral energy but what does this have to do with consciousness? Well here's a theory on that but first:
How we pick up stimuli:
Now before we get started, I would like you to get this straight: I know how stimuli are formed both within the body and the CNS/PNS I know which sensations come from where and how they start from your body, travel to the brain, where it becomes translated and sent back. I'm not talking about that!
Now here's where I really get creative. Humans, among every other species, organism and building block of life, have receptors which pick up these energy frequencies where they react to form a stimulus. After a stimulus occurs, they are translated into a general sensation. For example: an instinct, a memory, a scent, a taste, a vision, a sound. Every frequency of energy you receive is essentially translated.
When energy travels:
When traveling energy reacts with a receptor and forms stimuli, in order to be translated, the energy wave also implants itself on the reacting organism. Any by reacting organism, I mean anything that energy can act upon which includes inanimate objects. In other words, they're like memory cells. So once the traveling energy leaves a mark on the receptor it creates a sensation.
When an inanimate object receives a wave of energy, it too becomes implanted in that object and that energy can travel elsewhere. This explains how people who can consciously recognize the energy around them can pick up trails of others energy left behind from the past.
Example: A person sits in a chair…
Okay so the chair has energy receptors just like we do. So person A sits down on the chair. The chair, having energy receptors as well picks up on the energy from the person sitting on it. The chair’s receptors memorize that energy from Person A. But instead of the chair’s receptors converting the energy into a stimulus, most of the energy travels elsewhere to change forms again. However, all of the energy doesn’t leave. Some remains behind. Now person B comes along, and senses the remains of energy that the chair collected from person A.
But what happens when we get the same sensation twice?
When complex organisms pick up the same frequency more than once, the memory receptor picks up on the energy and sends another signal, a signal of familiarity. In a tiny fraction of a second, a strong sensation sweeps over you and you subconsciously relate to the situation where that same sensation first came to you. Since it's the same sensation as the first time you initially received it, your brain usually automatically relates to where that sensation was first acquired. If the brain fails to relate, 3 things can occur:
1. You're stuck with that signal but not the whole picture and it drives you crazy. (i.e. someone looks familiar to you but you don't remember who they are)
2. You try to win it back subconsciously often leading to a panic attack.
3. Absolutely nothing.
Levels of stimuli: Basic functions to higher level thinking.
What I mean here is that there many levels of stimuli that you pick up on first. We do this subconsciously without realizing. I might have these levels jumbled a bit but here's how I ordered them:
Emotions: The general signal that drowns our bodies. It’s the essential energy stimulus that we rarely consciously realize.
Colors: every energy level omits a certain color but since we can only see red through violet, we can only see the ones in that scale. Since very little energy is actually in that medium, we can't see the other energy waves going on around us. However picking up on these colors while seeing the energy move and change may explain how it's possible to see auras.
Instinct: This is for every organism on the planet. When we receive these energies, it's automatically translated into a command. This affects us both consciously and subconsciously as well as conducting chemical changes.
Subconscious: This goes a little more in depth than instinct and it could actually come before instinct but there's 1 reason that it's not. But first, the subconscious stimuli are interpreted by the PNS/ANS and sent throughout the body and controls every subconscious move and thought. Why I DIDN'T post it first is because only higher and more complex organisms can pick this up. Mainly the animal kingdom and more bluntly put: anything with an actual brain.
Conscious: This is where we can actively realize these stimuli, where they convert to actual messages: thoughts, fantasies, anything we ever think of, are derived from these energies. It's here where we can also create our own stimuli and send it back to ourselves for false interpretations. (hallucinations, fantasies, etc.)
Memory: This is where the memory receptors that impact your conscious life come from. Where your brain translate a familiar stimulus to, "Hey, I've been here before... this is where"
Spiritual: No way of getting around this. These come from the extreme frequencies of light and dark. When you feel something that's pure dark, or pure light, you recognize that instantly and it changes your life. For example, seeing a ghost or feeling the energy of the full moon. This level is so advanced that it takes no communication to interpret. It's all emotional.
So what forms consciousness?
Your receptors are infinite and you have the capability to receive any energy signal. Thing is, the lower organisms with no level of consciousness can only pick up on the lowest levels of stimuli because they don't have as many receptors (they amount grew with evolution) and either blocks or doesn't recognize, pick up on, or memorize the rest. As the chain moves up into more complex organisms, more and more levels of energy are picked up and converted as stimuli.
Minds are like computers, they may start of either completely empty or with the basics. From there they're programmed and translated to other things. But here's where it gets more interesting: The receptors and the levels we can pick up are always growing and have an infinite capability for the conscious organisms to grow. Basically we're able to pick up more and more stimuli every second.
So with a fetus, they'll obviously pick up on the lower frequencies and as they grow and develop, they'll develop the receptors for the higher levels of energy.
Therefore, the development of consciousness is proportional to the amount of stimuli we can pick up.
What defines consciousness: The growing amount of stimuli we're able to receive, recognize and translate and the levels of energy we're able to recognize.
More on spirituality:
As a celestial being, all knowledge (meaning energy and stimuli) are out in the open and travel freely. It's when we're astral where we shed the boundaries of which frequencies we pick up and are open to infinity but in physical forms however...
The same signals have been established from the moment we took physical form on the earth. Everything we pick up on is temporarily closed off and stored when we die and as we're reincarnated, that file on which energy we received and interpreted, travels with us as we take our next form. Since the file becomes temporarily closed off, it slowly opens once we have the ability to recognize and interpret familiar signals again. Once we recognize these, the signal from the exact instinct it first reached us is relayed. Often these are from past lives.
So that's my theory on how consciousness developed. It may be off the wall but I don't see anyone else coming up with anything, but as I said, actually take time to understand it and let it sink in and then let me hear your feedback.
Premonitions and Deja Vu?
So what causes the phenomenon? I'm really grasping at straws here but these are some of the best theories that I have on the subject that actually make sense.
Okay, so energy is sent to us and it causes a stimulus which gives us a reaction based on its level but why does it seem like we have knowledge before we do? Well first I would like to make clear that we receive these energies (receiving knowledge) from EVERYWHERE. Meaning they can occur from anywhere and affect any place at any time. Think about it, how are new concepts developed in the first place? The signal to create the knowledge had to come from somewhere right?
That being said, my first theory is universal knowledge. Okay for example, I'll use the place I work: I'm at Subway and Lady A wants a sub and I ask what type. For some unknown reason, I receive a frequency of energy that translates into an emotion which gives me the "feeling" that she's going to order a BMT. So she does. Now where did this feeling come from? (And don't you DARE say "Lucky Guess.") A. The Universe. Somewhere in the universe, energy sends you that signal. B. The woman. She could have known what she wanted the moment she walked in and the energy from her thinking of that sub got so strong that she sent out a signal which I picked up on. C. The rate of traveling energy and time or interpretation is not in sync.
Traveling rates:
Okay, now bear with me please because this part I can't keep straight with myself to save my life so it's going to be very sloppy and hard to make out. ::takes deep breath::
ok..now...
Energy travels all around to receptors. When we receive, 2 things happen: The initial emotion occurs followed by the higher translation, (moving up the levels of energy stimuli.) In most cases, the initial ping (reaction or emotional signal from that stimulus), and the higher translation occur one after the other so fast, they're practically synonymous. Trouble occurs when they're more spaced out, making them out of sync.
Premonition vs. Deja Vu
Premonitions:
This can be a result of any of the above theories. We simply receive a stimulus from one place almost directly before we receive that same stimulus from a different place. Or the initial ping and higher translation are out of sync. When this happens, we mostly recognize the initial ping, giving us time to already be familiar with the higher translation based off of other similar higher translations. (Example: Well I felt like this when it was raining so it must be raining)
Deja Vu
Again, any of the above theories, but what makes this different? The traveling rates are out of sync but however, your brain translates the signals and automatically sends out a mach of those same frequencies of energy and the brain retranslates it, giving us the impression that whatever is happening has already happened before.
But there's more.
Okay, I really don't know how to start this one off but if you know the anatomy of muscles, this will help you out: Muscles are composed of many muscle fibers. In these fibers there are even more myofibrils. Okay, so the signals of energy can travel separately, but more often than not, they travel in bundles that set off multiple receptors at a time. This mix of signals that we receive blend into one overall signal which creates a general atmosphere.
We'll go back to rain:
When it rains outside, it reminds me of a few things. Sadly these events that I recall are Easter and going to the Pittsburgh amusement park, Kennywood. So it's raining outside and the thousands of stimuli you receive sets off a blend of emotions: the same emotion I got at Kennywood or Easter when it was also raining as well as new emotions.
From person to person:
Imagine you're walking down the street and another person bumps into you. If they're new to you, you'll pick up new frequencies of energy. Let's say this person is having a very bad day. You may get a bad feeling about them from a darker aura while catching other emotions such as frustration, perhaps fear and excitement. This creates the general energy signal of that specific person.
----
Alright now we get into the paranormal even more with Psychic awareness. But what is psychic awareness? As you've already read, there are 2 ways to receive the energy signals: subconscious and conscious. The difference lies with which area of your mind that picks up the signal. The instinctive signals and signals that keep the body and order that you pick up without awareness are subconscious signals and the ones you are aware of are conscious.
What is psychic awareness? Psychic awareness is defined by the amount of signals you are able to consciously recognize. Ever wonder why a dog can sense fear? It's because they're more psychically aware of the energy around them. They're able to consciously recognize more signals around them. Therefore, a human is afraid of a dog. They subconsciously send frequencies of energy that translate into fear. Where the human sends it subconsciously, the dog can translate it consciously and from there, they can tell when we're afraid.
As a matter of fact, anything that can be classified as your 6th sense is based on the ability to consciously recognize those energy signals.
The thing is, we're born with the ability to both pick up and recognize any frequency of energy consciously but most people have shut themselves off to the point where they can't feel anything aside from basic instincts and emotions, and only broad emotions at that. Most people can't consciously pick up a frequency and pinpoint exactly where it lies on the energy spectrum.
Why can't we?
As humans evolve, not only do we grow smarter but also lazier. For example, even time gives off different frequencies. Most people can recognize what general time it is or within maybe a few hours of it but very VERY few people can pinpoint it down to the exact minute (or even second.) Why would anyone bother to train themselves to pick up the energies that time sends by when we have a watch? Why would anyone bother to learn how to send their own energy to telepathically communicate with somebody when the phone is sitting right next to them?
My point is, that we have the ability but we simply choose not to use it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How to recognize energy:
In order to recognize energy consciously, you must open your conscious mind up to the energies you wish to receive and identify. So you may be wondering "How do I do that?" In this case, I suggest you look into meditation since it's main purpose for beginners is to clear the mind. However, I can offer a few simple exercises to clear your mind:
1. Light the candle.
2. Sit comfortably in either a chair or a floor. Preferably sit straight up and with your legs crossed. If it helps, put on some soft relaxing music for this purpose if background noises helps you concentrate.
3. Close your eyes and breathe in deeply for about 4 seconds, and exhale for another 5 seconds. Repeat these steps over again until you feel you are relaxed enough to proceed.
4. Open your eyes and focus directly on the candle. At this point, your mind should become clearer. If not, focus more on the candle by focusing on the color, the shape of the flame dancing back and fourth, the smoke rising from it.
5. If you feel you've focused enough on the candle you may even stare past the candle and let your thoughts and care drain out of you. If it's your first time, do this for maybe 1-2 minutes. Can you get to the point where you have no thoughts occupying your mind?
If you don't like to meditate, see if you can clear your mind on your own. You may have a million things running through your head and you have to shut them off. You can actually focus on thinking of nothing. At first you may feel a split second of total silence and it'll increase with time.
What next? How to recognize energy:
Once you're privy to clearing your mind you're now ready to recognize the energies around you. When your mind is clear, you'll experience a certain emotion that you can't describe, only feel. That's the general energy signal.
Here are some exercises to recognizing energy:
1. Think of a person you know. It can be any person at all that you’ve been in personal contact with. Now think back to the first time you met them. If you’ve known them since you were born, think of a specific memory that reminds you of that person strongly. How did they make you feel? Did they make you feel happy, loved, nervous, unhappy or afraid, etc? How did they feel? Did they seem like a happy person? Were they rushed or frustrated?

2. Now that you have them, think of that memory over and over again and you’ll feel an emotion. This emotion you get from the energy is the same emotion you subconsciously feel when you’re around or think of this person. The emotion that you feel is their sign. It’s their combination of frequencies of energies that make them unique and what makes them who they are.
Hopefully you now have an idea of what subconscious energy feels like. But if you want more, here’s a second exercise you may want to try. This works outside and you will need a knife or steel of some sort, a candle and something to light it with, a rock, and a glass bowl to fill with water. This exercise should demonstrate that anything in the universe gives off a sign:
1. First gather a knife, a candle, a bowl of water, and a rock and set all of those objects around you.
2. Light the candle.
3. Take your time to clear your mind. If you’re unsure of how to do this, follow the steps of the meditation exercise.
4. Once your mind is clear hold the rock in your hand. How does it make you feel? As previously stated, if you open your mind up and focus on the object long enough, you’ll be able to feel that object’s sign.
5. Play around with the water and submerge your hand in it. Aside from the temperature, how does it feel? Can you feel the difference of emotion you get from the water than what you felt from the rock? You should be able to. What you are feeling are the different frequencies of energy the objects give out creating their signs.
6. Now take the knife or steel and play around with it (while keeping yourself out of danger. PLEASE don’t cut or stab yourself or somebody else and if you do, I disclaim any responsibility of any said stupidity this exercise may bring.) Once you get to know the blade, compare the different energies you get from the steel’s sign.
From this exercise you should learn how to not only consciously recognize energy but also the different frequencies of energy the objects have. From here your sensitivity to energy signals will only increase with time, patience and practice.

At a quantum level, everything is energy. You, me, this computer, that left-over jelly bean. We're all just vibrating at different levels. That is why energy is so important. It is everything.
Storm hit that right on the head.

(King Aton, there is a note for you at the bottom.)

Saria,

I realize that you wrote that post in January 2007 so it's pretty old. I wanted to say that I think you're brilliant. I have a great amount of respect for people who are able to think deeply and receive inspiring ideas like yours. I'm not sure why some of my members have a hair up their ass and feel the need to put you down, but those are the same members who inspired me to shut the forum down in May so they would go somewhere else. Maybe you went with them, I don't know. If you didn't, I would like to ask you to come back to this forum. You're much smarter than the vast majority of the members we have and I would love to have you back.

I don't think it's necessary to tell people that you were high when you thought of something. Some of my best inspirations have come when I was in an altered state. For some us, using drugs can be a way of relaxing your mind and body enough that you are able to connect to the higher states of consciousness. Obviously, a drug like crack or meth is probably going to do much more damage than good in that respect, but certain drugs like mushrooms, pot, LSD, MDMA, Ibogaine, and others are considered "enthogeons" and many people use them in order to get closer to Spirit/God. I really don't feel that it takes away from the inspirations at all. I actually believe that it can greatly enhance your state of mind so that you are more able to receive information that would otherwise be inaccessible to you. (Not trying to push drugs on kids, but then kids aren't really supposed to be here in the first place.)

Anyway, if you do come back, please PM me. I'd love to hear from you. And really, if any member here has done a great amount of study in the areas of spirituality, energy, healing, etc., or if you are able to receive inspiration from your Higher Self/Spirits/God, please get my attention and let me know. Simply posting on the board is just not enough to let me know that you're here. The board is just too large for me to read it all.

King Aton, please read the rules for the forum (<--click link), in particular #7. You just brought this thread up to the top of the forum and all you said was that you agreed with someone else. I understand the desire to do that and I'm actually glad that you did it in the case of this particular thread (since I have never seen it before and I want to respond to it) but normally it's not a good idea to bring up old threads unless you have something of value to contribute to the conversation. This goes for everyone else too obviously. I guess I should go through and lock the old threads to prevent this. I know how easy it can be to not notice the date on a thread. I've done it myself many times.

Brightest Blessings,
