Free energy

You can use energy to do things – activities, chores – or you can use it to develop energy. You start to experience freedom when you have free energy – energy that isn't locked up in the doing of things – energy available to you to join and give to the world of energy – your subscription. It's like a grub stake of energy from which you need never look back – gradually freeing more and more of what you have. This energy is more akin to spirit and heart than the energy of work. Eventually, I suppose, most of your being could enter this realm, even much of the energy locked up in metabolic and other involuntary bodily and mental processes being freed. People with no experience of energy, or free energy, cannot imagine what it is or what it is like to have it, or, especially, what sort of discipline and sobriety are required to live a life devoted to it. Such a life, in a way, is a life of selfishness, or at least a life refusing to participate in the general dissipation of energy that happens in most realms of human behaviour, especially social behaviour. Far better to be alone in and with energy, or with similarly enlightened people, than pissing it out in company. For most people generosity consists of giving gifts – presents or money – or doing things for others. If you have free energy then your company can be enough – energy is available to you to give to whomever you chose, either by spending time with them, or in absentia, through simple techniques of projection – having the person in your heart and mind for a duration of time.

(In my experience those with the best feel for free energy, even if they don't possess much themselves, are people in the caring professions: doctors, nurses, home helps, etc. - people who spend a large part of their day giving their energy directly to others.)
