Day 21: Higher energy (The Shift - Dyer)

     Have you ever heard of muscle testing?  There are studies that use the "straight-arm test" to test for allergies, imbalances or deficiencies in the body.  There is a study done with positive and negative emotions.  They found that most people's arms were weakened (and hence the whole body) when a negative emotion was felt and the opposite for a positive emotion.  The positive emotions are said to be at a higher frequency.  For example, feeling love (the highest vibrational emotion), the most strength is found throughout the whole body.  It is said in the Bible, Tao etc. that God is love.  It is a feeling of true bliss and inner peace; it is the highest energy vibration.  Wayne Dyer, in The Shift, concludes, "Therefore, we must be love in some way, since we must be like what we came from."  In a spiritual sense from a non-physical spiritual being, God.  He goes on to say that "Non-being is love.  Since we came from non-being, we must be love."
     In order to reconnect with ourselves before we became human is to detach from things.  We didn't have attachments before.  Dyer says, "Before we came into this material world, our essence was nothing.  We had no things encumbering us - no rules, no duties, no money, no parents, no hunger, no fear...nothing at all."  When we have no attachments is when we are similar to how we were before we were created into a physical form.  When we get attached to our car and someone hit's it we get upset.  When we are attached to our work and someone doesn't like it, we get upset.  When we are attached to our boyfriend/girlfriend and the relationship ends, we are devastated.  When we are unattached to an outcome, we are not affected.
     Before we started separating ourselves from the source (before we were made into form) we were all one.  We still are.  Just like the one wave of an ocean would not say it is separate from the ocean.  Nor would a person separate themselves from another person because we are all connected through spirit.  I wouldn't label my fingers different names to disassociate them from myself.  They are apart of me.  Humans have named each person to differentiate one from another but really we are all one, all connected, all from the same source.  I've had this thought before that if I'm mean to someone, I feel bad afterward.  I think it's because I am or have been that other person (making a mistake or bugging someone) and to be mean to them is to be mean to myself.  Since I am them because I am going through the same life experience just a different time-line than them. This may seem sort of confusing but I think Dyer is saying we are all connected even though we have separated ourselves as individuals.  We are all going through this life in a similar fashion.  Let's return to that oneness.
