notes on the energetic body
by Antero Alli
the energetic body is a term for a complex web of interactions of energy centers in The Body which correspond to, what Hindu cosmology calls, "chakras". the primary centers spin in the center of the brain (6th chakra), the heart (4th chakra) and the belly (2nd chakra) with secondary centers at the top of the head (7th chakra), throat (5th chakra), solar plexus (3rd chakra) and base of the spine (1st chakra).
the energetic body as a whole loses power to the degree any or all of these centers become depleted, drained, exhausted, over-stimulated, unstable, and/or disengaged (inert and latent). it does this when attention gets fixated on "poor baby syndrome" and its debilitating force of self-pity. the energetic body can also be drained by the (cannibalistic) romantic obsessions of "courtship compulsion", ie., searching for "The One" and unconsciously projecting (throwing away) charged psychic energies (anima/animus) onto others.
the energetic body as a whole gains power to the degree any or all of these centers in The Body are "fed" by direct experience of their distinct force. as this energy is engaged and expressed through the body in action, behavior, sounds, movement and repose, the energetic body can also be replenished. empowerment can also occur via negativa by shifting attention away from the "poor baby" position of self-pity and also, by redirecting courtship compulsion towards serving creation, rather than obsession with externals. as impediments to the energetic body are removed, energy regenerates itself and power restored.
notes on empowering the energetic body
by Taisha Abelar, Yaqui sorceress
The Action of sorcery is that of Dreaming yourself.
The energetic body carries the power of dreaming and of the power necessary for bringing dreams and intentions into manifestation.
Society is oriented toward a "poor baby" or pity syndrome and a mating/courtship compulsion.
The self is presented as a "poor baby" to the world.
Stalking the self means seeing how you are living. Are you living as a poor baby or feeding a poor baby ?
The assemblage point, or attention, has been fixated in the poor baby position.
What sorcerers do: move attention away from the poor baby position.
The assemblage point is a place of luminosity on the energetic body, it lights the filaments of the subtle power of attention. When the filaments of the energetic body match those of the universe, perception takes place.
How do you move the assemblage point? You need energy to move the assemblage point away from poor baby. This may be obtained from not doing the presentation of the self in everyday life and stop seeking courtship and feeding the poor baby. Curtail neediness.
"Poor Baby" ravages the energetic body.
After you've increased your energy, practice impeccability; you'll know
impeccability when you have no self interest. Act without expecting
rewards or returns. Act impeccably and the assemblage point moves
to the "place of no pity".
Heightened awareness. When the assemblage point moves far enough
you'll see different worlds. You'll know when you are there - (you'll be)
very quiet, unknown to yourself, you'll feel solitude but no loneliness.
When energy comes to you, it can guide you; the energy of the double, the ethereal body. Heightened awareness is the door to infinity.
The earth too has an assemblage point. ((cf. Ley lines etc.))
Embarrassment disrupts the assemblage point and allows it to shift. Blow your cover and the focus shifts away from the self if you do not feed the poor embarrassed baby.
Controlled folly means blowing your cover on purpose. The practice of controlled folly means you see the situation and you don't judge. Judging is death.
Don't poor baby yourself. Use devices to jolt yourself. Then you can move the
assemblage point up and down. The spine has its centers; chakras. Each center feeds on different foods, or essences. Learn to feed the energetic body.
Cover up mirrors - (they reinforce agreements of appearance and
fixate attention on the self).
Not doing is the doing of sorcery. Disrupt routines.
Do physical exercises to wake up the energetic body.
