Raising Your Energy Level

Raising Your Energy Level
by Wayne Dyer


Every thought you have has an energy that will either strengthen
or weaken you. It's obviously a good idea to eliminate the
thoughts that weaken you, since these thoughts are obstacles to
creating a winning match with the universal, supreme Source of
intention. Take a moment to ponder the meaning behind Anthony
de Mello's observation in One Minute Wisdom: "Why is everyone
here so happy except me? 'Because they have learned to see
goodness and beauty everywhere,' said the Master. Why don't I
see goodness and beauty everywhere? 'Because you cannot
see outside of you what you fail to see inside."

What you may fail to see inside is a result of how you choose to
process everything and everyone in your world. You project onto
the world what you see inside and you fail to project into the
world what you fail to see inside. If you knew that you were an
expression of the universal Spirit of intention, that's what you'd
see. You'd raise your energy level beyond any possibility of
encumbrances to your connection to the power of intention. It is
only discord acting within your own feelings that will ever deprive
you of every good thing that life holds for you. If you understand
this simple observation, you'll curb interferences to intention.

There's a vibratory action to your thoughts, your feelings and your
body. I'm asking you to increase those frequencies so they're
high enough to allow you to connect to the power of intention.
This may sound like an oversimplification, but I hope you'll try
raising your energy level as a way to remove the obstacles that
prevent you from experiencing the perfection you're a part of. You
cannot remedy anything by condemning it. You only add to the
destructive energy that's already permeating the atmosphere of
your life. When you react to the lower energies you encounter
with your own low energies, you're actually setting up a situation
that attracts more of that lower energy. For example, if someone
behaves in a hateful manner toward you and you respond by
hating them for hating you, you're participating in a lower energy
field and impacting all who enter that field. If you're angry at those
around you for being angry people, you're attempting to remedy
that situation through condemnation.

Don't use weakening energies employed by those around you.
Other people can't bring you down if you're operating at the
higher energies. Why? Because higher and faster energies
nullify and convert lower/slower energies, not the reverse. If you
feel that the lower energies of those around you are bringing you
down, it's because you're joining them at their energy levels.

Your unbending intention may be to be slim and healthy. You
know that the universal all-creative Spirit brought you into
existence in the microscopic dot of human cellular tissue not to
be sickly, overweight or unattractive... but to create love, be kind
and express beauty. This is what the power of intention intended
for you to become. Now get this: You cannot attract attractiveness
into your life by hating anything about what you've allowed
yourself to become. Why? Because hatred creates a
counter-force of hatred that disempowers your efforts. Here is
how Dr. Hawkins describes it in Power vs. Force: "Simple
kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful
transformational force of all. It produces no backlash, has no
downside and never leads to loss or despair. It increases one's
own true power without exacting any toll. But to reach maximum
power such kindness can permit no exceptions, nor can it be
practiced with the expectation of some selfish reward. And its
effect is as far reaching as it is subtle." (Note that kindness is
one of the seven faces of intention.) He adds further: That which
is injurious loses its capacity to harm when it is brought into the
light and we attract to us that which we emanate.

The lesson is clear in terms of removing lower energy obstacles.
We must raise ourselves to the levels of energy where we are
the light we seek, where we are the happiness we desire, where
we are the love we feel is missing, where we are the unlimited
abundance we crave. By being it, we attract it to us. By
condemning its absence, we ensure that condemnation and
discord will continue to flow into our lives.

If you're experiencing scarcity, anguish, depression an absence
of love or any inability to attract what you desire, seriously look at
how you've been attracting these circumstances into your life.
Low energy is an attractor pattern. It shows up because you've
sent for it, even if on a subconscious level. It's still yours and you
own it. However, if you practice deliberately raising your energy
level by being cognizant of your immediate environment, you'll
move rather rapidly toward intention and remove all of those
self-imposed roadblocks. The obstacles are in the low-energy
spectrum.
