We talked briefly yesterday about the ripple effect and how it applies to our everyday thoughts and actions. Everything in the Universe, every atom, object, living thing, is in constant motion. It is vibrating at a specific frequency. We learned this in high school science. The spiritual writer, Tanya Carrroll Richardson states, “Someone’s energy, or the energy of a physical space or a group of people, isn’t something you can see or touch—but it’s something you sense, feel, and react to.” This is the Law of Vibration.
Think of the smallest particle of all, the Atom, and how it is in a state of motion by vibration in its center. This teeny atom is the foundation of all, which explains the adage that, as a Spiritual Being, I am an individualized expression of God and one with all that exists. Also, everything has its own specific energy frequency. High energy particles are naturally attuned to other high energy particles and low energy particles are attuned to other low energy particles. Like attracts like. When I have a thought, perform an action or other entity, it stands to reason that if I wish to be Happy, Joyous, and Free, I should seek out others working for the same thing and put myself near them.
Simple but, at first, not easy. How do I do it? Once again, just say the shortened version of the 3rd step, “God help me,” and then go with the flow. This is why we feel so good when we leave an AA meeting or someone whom we love. We are with others who seek the same. What goes around comes around. Whatever I feel, others feel. What others feel, I feel.
Think of some time when you were near a high energy person and how you could actually feel the energy flowing from them. It is always flowing, greater or lesser, depending on how much we can believe in its existence. Just remember that it goes both ways and you will then understand the oneness of the universe.
How does this apply to you? When we totally turn our will and life over to a power greater than self, Step 3, all of the above takes place. Then we seemingly magically, become Happy, Joyous, and Free. Surrender to this Higher Power and you, too, will be Happy, Joyous, and Free. If this formerly angry, violent, obnoxious creature can do it, you can too! God bless you!
