Have
you ever noticed how your entire psychology is based upon the Laws
of Conservation of energy? Just as our bodies never expend one ounce
of effort beyond what is absolutely necessary, so too, our inner
psychic forces avoid expending any form of unnecessary energy.
By
consciously putting on the lens of perception that our entire lives
are run along a continuum of the ever-present Law of Conservation
of Energy, our endless forms of self-observation take on new meanings.
For example, let us consider the following pairs of opposites
only in terms of which opposite takes the most energy/time/effort?
Projecting
blame outside of oneself?
And/or
Accepting
responsibility for ones own behavior?
·
Lying?
And/or
Telling
the truth?
·
Rationalizing/Justifying
one’s own behavior?
And/or
Going
against oneself to overcome the weaknesses in ones own behavior?
·
Forgetting?
And/or
Remembering?
·
Breaking
one’s word?
And/or
Keeping
one’s word?
Much
of our mechanical/automatic psycho/spiritual behavior is based upon
the Law of Conservation of Energy; therefore, much of our "lesser"
forms of behavior manifest so frequently in order to help us to
conserve Energy. Only when the sincere Work students become able
to "digest" the Law of Conservation of Energy will they
be able to see their automaticity in an endless new way.
