A body with a soul, not a soul with a body

Energy
By John Kuykendall

Everywhere energy is found, built up in layers one inside another with the subtlest energy in the innermost stratum accessed by the soul. As our knowledge of Christian mysticism increases we gain access to the inner consciousness of the soul and grow in the understanding of life’s energies. Knowledge of the finer layers of consciousness makes the world more comprehensive and our minds more creative, peaceful and loving so we become better Christians.

We see, hear, taste, smell and feel gross energy, but at the same time we can experience subtle energy. There is a limit to our senses and this boundary marks the experience of gross life because the subtle energy fields are out of our ordinary range of experience. Technology has shown us that there are subtle levels in our world, which we are not aware of because our senses are limited to the gross strata only. In order to experience the finer energies of life, it is necessary to improve our sense of being by aligning with the soul.

The air is loaded with energy from lightening to the Aurora Borealis, and water is charged with electrical, chemical and mechanical energy. The energy in water as ice has the force to break granite into pebbles. Atoms also have energy and we are a combination of atoms, energy and life. A combination of millions of energies separated and disconnected until we unite them in our life. Acting in harmony we educate, train and marshal our forces into a purpose and stop the meandering nature. This empowerment is the aligning of our minds with the energy of the soul giving direction to a rudderless ship at the mercy of the sea. No longer drifting aimlessly with the wind, we cultivate our energy to its highest degree of application to improve the faculty of our experience. Christ walked on the water transcending gross creation, not floating on a tide of circumstances. He experienced the highest, most vibrant stratum of energy sitting at the right hand of the Father in a state of pure Being, the Supreme Being.

Christian mysticism systemizes Christ’s spiritual journey to produce good results, good health and good habits. It focuses our minds into a laser promoting and facilitating the nervous and circulatory systems to invigorate our bodies and minds. It is a way the soul conserves and channels energy that is lost in drifting habits. This is a kind of healing, an adaptation, absorption and practice of spiritual knowledge to align our minds with our soul. Currents that produce anger, divisive thoughts and destructive actions become apparent, and the energy currents that produce love, healing thoughts and constructive actions bring our attention to the field of the soul where understanding the impersonal nature of energy and the interconnected dynamics of everything beyond the senses is beneficial to life. In this state of being we learn to love without restriction and accept without judgment because we are not on the level of thinking, which is our well-versed, experienced, relative existence. Identifying with the consciousness of the soul we slowly learn about the energy of life, the value of creativity, healing and love. Releasing negativity, disharmony and violence Christian mysticism shows us the way to serve the power of the soul by increasing our knowledge of the finer strata of existence so we can align with it. It is a journey through the layers of the mind leading to the perception of Christ consciousness.

Cultivating our energy to its highest degree of application by identifying with the loving energy of the soul is the Christian thing to do. The positive influence of Christ becomes a purposeful force at the core of being. Christ consciousness increases the knowledge of the finer strata of existence showing the way to serve the energy of the soul by aligning with it. This perception of subtle consciousness leads the mind to set up the brain as an electrical condenser ready to send energy to any nerve setting appropriate muscles into action. Energy is communicated and charged to every part of the body aiding nerves, the brain, and contracting muscles to make the mind fruitful, the body whole, and the nerves steady. This vitality, life and power from the clear view of the soul can be used to uplift the bleak and aide the poor. The stronger one becomes in mind and purpose the more people one can help. This grace comes from the prevention and loss of vital energy, and the knowledge and understanding about life. The energetic self controlled Christian aligned with Christ consciousness attracts attention, love and energy. The life of a Christian mystic is not a lonely live, but one of energy, love and magnetism. The mystic interacts with the splintered energy of the world in order to heal and bring about wholeness.

Christian mysticism introduces the mind to the soul radiating from the center of our being to connect guide and sooth our energy. Energy radiates from the soul similar to an electrical current giving light to a bulb. This energy is no longer rampant, but focused, connected with our core and the spiritual depths of our soul. This consciousness directed by Christ does not judge, just witnesses with the understanding that we are drawn to the power of the soul. A consciousness of bliss filling an empty, powerless place with wisdom and knowledge requires inner work recognizing where we are influenced by external circumstances and lose energy. Temptations are not ignored, but released by changing perceptions, self-image, concepts and one’s life. The resistance to change is witnessed with the recognition that our energy and power are lost in a diffused and unfocused state taking strength from every fiber of our body. Spiritual practice is a natural gift, a living grace that perfects our poise, manner, coolness and reserve in the muscular and nervous systems of our body. Spiritual development doesn’t invite physical health because it is done for spiritual reasons, but the mind and body do benefit, assisting our spirituality in turn.

Cultivating the spiritual thought processes and uniting them with our devotion to Christ is Christian Mysticism. The work before us then is to ascertain our defects and obstructions to aligning with Christ, our soul and the finer stratum of our existence. The hindrances once removed will no longer interfere with the energies of our life, and we become closer to Christ and Our Father Almighty. When our soul has free scope to unfold in our consciousness it is a natural gift, a living grace, not acquired or developed even though we brought to light, healed, and released the negativity within us. We choose to allow our inner Divinity to shape our world, to work unimpeded upon the Earth by challenging our weaknesses and moving consciously towards wholeness, wisdom, and Christ consciousness.
