Do you know what the most important question of the day is?
Where does energy come from?
Many people feel short of energy, worn out, and lose interest in the things they used to do.
We remember from goal-setting practices that energy always arises where there is a goal.
And a goal appears once a meaning has been found. After all, if a person doesn’t understand “what for”, they will never understand “how”.
So in consultations and on courses, one way or another, we keep coming back to the theme of meaning. And meaning, as we know, lies in the inner world, not the outer one.
This is where it gets interesting.
Energy is always a “third” something that arises from the interaction of a “first” and a “second”.
The process is endless: impulse — response — process.
The human psyche is a whole made up of opposite elements. When the elements meet, they interact, and energy is released; it creates tension and makes us search for MEANING.
Very often two opposites within the psyche cannot meet. Because of the high tension their joining could create. And because the person lacks the ability and the skills to cope with that tension. And the further apart these parts are, the more sharply the rift is felt.
Now for the main secret:
when one of the opposites is not conscious, the only place we can meet it is outside.
Which means that when we meet another person who carries our opposite, we enter into interaction. We fall in love, for example. Or we quarrel.
This interaction releases energy. A balanced exchange makes a long-lasting relationship possible.
Where the balance is upset, all kinds of manipulation happen.
This path often leads to dependencies of varying severity.
The price of freedom and autonomy is the ability to bear the tension of joining your own opposites. And, at the highest level of mastery, to direct that energy towards your own goals and meanings.
And to influence the reality around you.
Want to receive love (energy) from the people around you?
Try loving yourself and joining both poles. Quite a “rollercoaster”.
Yet it is the only path to freedom.
