So. Many. Waves. An endless and infinite energy in motion that cannot cease to exist and yet nothing can exist with its ceasing. And so is our own physical and metaphysical existence. It will never end. Your emotions, your thoughts, your feelings of wellness, oneness and security.. 5 minutes later being followed by a “cataclysmic” argument with your spouse over how much money you need to take on vacation. Sending your internal vibrations into a whirlwind of unbalanced disruption leaving you with two options; You either dive back into the working state of understanding your current consciousness, and intentionally wrestle with that internal light to rebalance your spectrum.. and take control of those fight or flight thoughts that can and will increase the intensity of the waves that keep you out of balance.

Or, you can allow the “autopilot” to take control. Almost encouraging you to continue fighting.. beckoning you to utter the words you know will cut to the quick. All because you think you know some deep understanding of that person or situation that no one else will understand, and so you batter the situation around like a cat playing with its prey just to watch it suffer. And so you bat around and play with the vibrations and energy of your household as if its an inanimate enemy that will hold no repercussions after you’ve finished. Allowing that sinful nature to come to the surfaces only because you do not have the patience, the empathy, or the understanding to step away and reevaluate your emotions from a different perspective.

Diligence

I thought I knew what it really meant to be diligent, to focus and work hard on something over and over again. Makes you diligent, right? Sort of.. Diligent stemming from the Latin word “diligere” means ‘to love, or take delight in’ or ‘to value or esteem highly’.

It is not easy for us to break away from that “autopilot” response to most things. We have practiced our entire lives on how to respond immediately to all circumstances without breaking away to consider our reactions to them. Simply identify threat, respond accordingly in our best fight or flight fashion, and move on. Never considering how that 33 second response can be the laying of a seed in ours or the oppositions subconscious. What type of seeds do you think are being planted when you are in a fight or flight frame of mind? Any with some forethought to them? Probably not. That is why this practice actually requires the true meaning of the word, Diligence.

In Biblical reference, 2nd Peter 3:14, “So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him spotless and blameless, in peace.” Once I understood the true meaning of diligence, I read this differently. Be diligent, or be so in love with this thing that you cannot help, but to make every effort to be found by Him.. That means something totally different than to just work hard and focus on doing the right things.

He tells us to love one another, and to love our spouse the way He loved the church (aka His people, aka whom he gave His life for). And so, it is not an easy undertaking to separate our conscious selves in situations that require us to step away from our “autopilot” responses. But we must be diligent. The only thing that will cool down the heated moments of our internal frustrations is just that, diligence, and love. For our opposition, for our God and His presence, and for ourselves and His light that is a part of us. Let those things be your reminder to help you step away from the heat of an obscure argument. And let His light take over all that is you.

Energy maintenance

Be aware of these things, do not allow the heat of the devil in the short moments of your day to push your hand into the ground as you sew the seeds of energy in your home. You only need to know and be aware of His presence, in these moments, in these vibrations. His Harmony rests above all. It is His vibrations that you feel when you are at peace, when your heart seems to beat more properly. When your mind seems to buzz in a clearer state than that of the opposition. Seeing all the colors of the spectrum instead of just the red or dullness that an obscured vision only allows. Be the one in charge of the energy maintenance in your home. When a moment is being won by the enemy, step away to regather your forces inside. Kindle the flame of His light within you and pour that love into the ground where the enemy thought his flame stood a chance. And let that become your daily practice. Be diligent, become the wave.
