Preface

This is a blog about the world of energy around me. To a person who is so thoroughly westernized it seems largely like the rantings of one who is deranged. But that's where a layer of abstraction comes in. You will never know who I am, and is unlikely that by some strange circumstance you happen to come across this blog and become my reader, that I will ever really get to know you.

Energy isn't something that's taboo unless you're in the US. I've tried talking to people about it here and I can see them visibly repulsed by the topic. Often times it seems like fear. I imagine that many of the people who don't want to talk about energy have experienced it on some level of their consciousness and it is something that they didn't understand, shut out, and have become hostile to. That's us humanity, we fear what we don't understand.

But if you're not in the US then you'll find that the concept of energy has circulated through religions and cultures throughout the world. In China especially we see instances of a well developed model of energy which is even used to try and cure people of their diseases. Though some arguments can be made against the effectiveness of this kind of practice, since it's been around for a few thousand years I can only hope that there was something to it.

Actually... I myself am a practitioner of a form of acupuncture that uses jewel's instead of needles, and it seems like it works. But there's the rub. It 'seems' like it works. The ability to verify anything of the workings of energy is almost nonexistant. I've yet to hear of any kind of study that proves definitively that some kind of energy working does what it is supposed to do. I don't have a way of proving it either. I work energy and sometimes the thing that I am trying to accomplish happens, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it happens, but the result is delayed and most things you can do with energy can be explained by other phenomena.

So, why do I believe in energy? Because sometimes it is much simpler with what I have seen and experienced to believe that energy is real then it is to try and find some other explanation. That said, it's only theory unless it can be proved, and since it can't, I don't want to create a place where there can be any kind of argument.

This then, will be the repository for my most recent dealings with energy and whatever else I happen to shove here. Take it as whatever you will... the world you cannot see, a fantastical creation of a brilliant mind, the rantings of a crazy person, or a shared hallucination that more then a few people participate in, I don't really care.

Here's my experience, and it is what it is.
