Regarding Energy

I read energy, of animals, and other living things, including
the emotional animals which we are ...

I also look at how much energy something takes, and how much
is being wasted, or in some psychological terms, is neurotic behavior...

The horses and dogs I re-train usually are looking for their place in the world,
a place where they are in tune with their inner rythyms...

The people I see are usually wasting it on some spiritual path,
or trying to fit in and still somehow feel disconnected...
while at the same time denying the present moment,
the moment where we have  to reconcile the human existance
 in the context of the battle for survival, and the will to live...

Usually when people come to me for advice i tell them to drop attitudes, and 
names  they feel they need to live up to,
and feel thru their sense the rythyms of the earth,
which includes the full spectrum of emotion and the contrasts of living...

also to give a fresh feel of time, and space its a better use
of energy to know that we are part of the world, and that selfish
 as people are, the world doesn't revolve around us, the world
doesn't exist for our pleasure and some ideal of what life should be,

the world was set in motion many years ago, when the bacteria were forming the forest floor, and the oceans depth, and the time the mountains were forming, life was set in motion, and we are part of the process..

.that being said, energy is put to best use when we realize our present situation, rather than escapist ideas that all we have to "do" is be positive and all good things come to us...

its easy to hide our common everyday struggle for existance by telling the world how great everything is, when it isn't, and the bigger escape of energy is when we feel we have to measure up to some one elses idea of positive, feel-good moments, and some other words and slogans to prop us up...there is way too much energy wasted by living up to some others ideals, when reality is far off base of wish-fufillment...

Look at your dogs, or cats , or horses, or significant people in our lives, ---   we waste so much energy trying to get them to fit our ideals that sometimes we forget their own nature, and by doing that we are not in tune with their rythyms as we could be, and it shows how off-rythym we are with our own selves...so my idea of it is, when the sun shows itself in the morning, it doesn't wait for you, or even care, tho you should care....and enjoy "be-ing" part of the process

when a force of nature happens, more than likely it was going to happen,
you just happened to be there,,,not everything is a sign from god or the universe,
sometimes, mostly , we just happen to be there, to witness the world...

Rather than wasting so much time and effort,
wasting energy trying so hard to "being" in control ,
        most times things happen because the world has its own rythyms,
        and maybe by being congruent with those rythyms then we,
        as emotional animals  can understand, 
         our own spectrum of emotions and the contrasts of living,
         and the fluidity of time.and space...
         then energy takes on fresh expansion...
         and has a life of its own, in relation to the world around us
