When I first saw your picture, I knew that it had an essence of me inside of it. Not because I am dark person in particular, but simply because I understand what I like. I am not even psychic, as much as you, but what I noticed, above all else, was the exact same thing I felt when I read your email to me. I realised that you wrote, & therefore, thought along the same lines that I do.
You attracted this picture to you, which in itself speaks volumes. It tells me that the chap was correct to see a strong energy around you.
The energy between us both, right now, is the picture. I see it as I do, & you have your thoughts on it, I am sure. They are both subjective, & are each as important as the other. So the fact that we are discussing energy, via the picture, tells me that we have issues concerning the shadow, each in our respective internal psyches. Yours would be to do with men, & mine are to do with women, or in Latin, the Anima & the Animus. This means, & to answer your question, how do I see energy ?, I would have to say that we are both going through a period of maturation & growth, or in general terms, a transformational upheaval, within ourselves, but one that is important too. I certainly am.
When a person has grown to this level they are able to detach from seeing others as commodities, & can begin to respect others for who they are individually. This level of person can, & wants, others to be themselves, & actively look to promote the others persons individuality so that their life maybe enhanced by it; the others inner beauty. Erich Fromm, said; " That when a person is able to look at the other & see his own beauty within them, & know that they are too an individual, then he has found true love ". Not once did Fromm ever mention romantic love, which is more a myth, as it takes too much energy to maintain, & is therefore more a fantasy than anything else. The point of what he is saying is that, " if I know I am looking at love, & can feel it, individually, then I have, at last, matured to a state that is worthy of being called genuine self-love, & that is true autonomy. This, as your lovely picture suggests, is the height of emotional maturity. The state that each individual should be aiming for in their lives, if they are to be a success during this lifetime, & of course, a benefit to ones fellow beings.
This is how I would describe energy. Certainly, I would say that the reason you & I are having this conversation right now is because we can, & that we are emotionally mature enough to do so, but that we both crave it. We are now in a position where we feel safe to say, yes, that is correct, & not feel admonished by the other for being honest. Perhaps we have grown over the years, with such subtlety, & to such heights, that now, when we do not receive much inner nourishment from others, we become ill. Sometimes this can appear in the shape of migraines, bad backs, but really what it is, is a yearning for more spirit, more depth, transparency in our lives.
I believe that the greatest thing too, is that when their is a space for love to grow within us, then it will appear in the shape of our inner, respective psyches. My partner will be reflected in the shape of her, & yours, in him. This is, in effect, my inner feminine, & your inner masculine; Anima & Animus. The problems arise when one over-identifies with their inner psyche.
