We are in a perpetual state of giving and receiving. It’s lawful. What ascends, descends. What comes around goes around. Energy is being spent or obtained. This fluctuation can be beguiling. The scales of giving and receiving run from minute to wildly
large. It’s easy to forget these
transactions are constant. It is
the wise one that recognizes this inner and outer tide and is knowledgeable enough
to turn the straw into gold.
The holidays and times of troubling shifts are ideal
conditions to inquire, observe and experiment with giving and receiving
(energy). To be in this fuller intelligence, one
needs to be more available to the subtle, which means, my cognitive mind is somewhat
suspended (in the effort). My usual thinking brain
just gets confused, doesn’t know how to operate in this inquiry, so, best to
give it another job--- like recording the details of the observation the larger Intelligence gleans even if ordinary mind doesn’t understand the stimuli. The larger Intelligence is fast and
flexible. It’s smart; it knows the
less important points, the info that can slide, the small, sometimes barely
perceptible details that merit an attention. It is willing to pick up what it doesn’t understand, willing
to suspend usual understanding, it’s cousin, “cognition” depends upon.
In trying times, raw energy is prevalent and plentiful. One’s body almost vibrates with the
availability. It’s challenging to
be in the necessary relaxed state, the state that is available for a
transformation from raw and frenetic to something a bit finer. Mostly, in the state of a lot of raw
energy, one assimilates it (unconsciously) and it almost always turns negative. One of the reasons why this happens is the larger Intelligence isn't given the reigns, isn't allowed to be active. Instead my usual intelligence starts to run things (without enough trust in another intelligence and no designated "job", what's a brain to do?),
and before long she gets confused over the loaded (energetic) stimuli, what it is and what to do with it, as well as the smoke-screen reactions that are part of the confusion. So, usual intelligence does what she usually does in these circumstances, which is to shut down, minimize, react, whatever is her survival mechanism. It's what she knows and Intelligence isn't strong enough or had enough experience being in or with this type of energy. It is an education the at large culture doesn't give us.
So, what is this education in giving and receiving energy? There is no road map, no curriculum for this; to each his own path. But all paths seem to include a cultivation of quietness, less tension and an interest in "other" more subtle manifestations of energy. Also probably, a respect for the healthy suspicion of the status quo, and the outward workings of what is generally regarded as "reality". A beginning of this education often transpires in periods of being in nature. Nature is slower. Nature is simpler. It is common for one's energy field to begin to match nature's when one is surrounded by that influence. One's awareness has less obstacles to surmount in that energetically resonating petri dish. Possibly, childhood experiences that are quite natural and even usual still pulsates strongly in a person, won't go away, are often remembered. This can be the beginning of an adult's education in what is possible when giving and receiving.
This opportunity of abundant raw energy has to be experienced a lot (decades?) before Intelligence begins to note it as an opportunity and the notion of transforming it a glimmer in the back of the eye/I. Detaching from beliefs that limit the possibilities of transformation is necessary. Physical beliefs (attachments to symptoms, ideas), moral beliefs of what consciousness is, transcendance, even what being whole (holy) is. These beliefs anchor us in an outer reality that won't budge in the face of this other reality. We are fixed. Becoming unfixed, and fully uncomfortable in the sea of the unknown is mandatory.
In light of this, it is easy to understand why it takes a life time (or a moment after a life time) for probably only a few to experience the incredible phenomenon of human transformation. It is all of our potentials to do so; however, most of us are not conditioned to realize it. Frequently, the universe provides conditions we have no choice but to participate in, usually kicking and screaming. This can be a state of grace we are granted, the universe's nudging us to enter the possibility which is our legacy.

Giving and Receiving is the vigiliant practice of this legacy. A practice without expectation. A practice only of a consummate interest in what is. No attachments. Free. It is a practice of study, non-action.
