Energy Cannot Be Created or Destroyed – Lessons from a Reluctant Buddha – Part 4

I went with a friend to a local spa called Float that has sensory deprivation tanks. These tanks screen out all sound and visual stimulation and that’s when amazing starts to happen. You float on salt water inside them, drifting gently with your thoughts but as time stretches out, you begin to lose track of time.  You could be floating out there in space for twenty minutes or twenty hours and it would feel the same.  Some people are able to calm their minds after fifteen or twenty minutes. Some people hallucinate wildly, their minds making up for the lack of stimulation. My experience was a bit different. I’ve practiced meditation for a long time and so I used it as a chance to clear my mind for as long as I could. At this point in my life, it’s hard to clear my mind completely for more than a few seconds to a few minutes. I am but a partial Buddha in the current now.  After meditation, especially extended meditation, my mind is largely calm and quiet the rest of the day. Thoughts seem to float in as if from a deeper place. These are not panic or fantasy based thoughts, they are simple and declarative. All is in harmony then and I am at one with my true self, the immortal self that transcends all things.

Now sometimes when I cleanse my mind of the constant chatter that is all our disease, new thoughts can come through. These are eternal thoughts that come from beyond the mind. They are not mine. They are open for anyone to see, as long as they can open their eyes and wake up in time. In this session, I ignored the hallucinations. I know them to be nothing but a retinal circus, an illusion, a kind of game, something interesting for the mind to do. And yet they provide a context to what I am going to say next, the enhance understanding in some ways and distort it in others.  What I did see was souls moving into the clear light of the void and I recognized that energy cannot be created or destroyed. If you pause with that for a moment you realize that if energy cannot be created or destroyed than what we have is a closed system. God is a closed system, a fixed energy. That energy is infinite and yet infinity is a fixed thing to God.  Sometimes out of that energy come passing forms, such as you or me, planets or stars, microbes or spirits. All these forms pass away and are transmuted into something else. For something new to live, something else must die. In the microcosmic sense picture your skin cells falling away. Now that energy is freed to become other things. The same thing happens when you when you die.  God is in essence a unified field, where all things are infinitely and intricately connected.  This is the plane of existence that Einstein thought he could get to with his mind. And yet it cannot be perceived by the mind.  The mind is a blocker, an hindrance to seeing it.  Perhaps at a more advanced stage in our evolution we may better work out the “math” of God, how that unified field works, but as of this moment in the eternal now, we cannot see the form that makes us.  It’s important to understand that all of that unified energy is in perfect use at any one time within the system and that the system is thus perfect, though it does not feel that way to us from our limited vantage point at times.  That is because we are but a point on the sphere.  We cannot see the whole sphere as God designed us with limitations so we might learn something.  For each person that lesson will be different so I cannot tell you what that is, but I can tell you it is all revolving around the question of “who am I?”

In the tank, I also saw my own form passing way and felt myself tearing away from my body and I was not afraid.  I saw that I can cast aside this form of Dan Jeffries at any time and it will be okay.  I also saw the spirit of my beloved cat come down like a surge of light to wake me from my trance, before the gentle music started in the tank to let me know my time was up.  She let me know that she does not have much time.  Now spirits are notoriously bad with time since they don’t experience it, so that could mean today or two months from now or two years.  You shall not know the day nor the hour.  You may ask how her spirit could come to me, if she is still here, as she has not yet passed away despite her advancing disease.  That is because spirits are not bound by petty things like being in one place at one time.  They can easily be in multiple places at the same time.  They transcend time and place and as such are not subject to your current limitations.  She let me know one other thing: come home.  I drove home with a brilliant ease and calm, knowing nothing could happen to me.  I was one with the road and all things around me.  I could feel the energy of the other entities around me reacting and responding and I moved easily through them like a kung-fu master rips through challengers.  I spent the night with my dying animal and my wife.  We took care of her and comforted her.  Life is not much more complicated that this.  Remember energy cannot be created or destroyed.  And as such, my cat too must pass, so that something new can be born in her wake.
