Stabbed In Back? No Problem! Commenting On The Comments

Astrologer, isthmus nekoi of obivinorum.com asks:
Is what you’re suggesting keeping the energy and discarding the form?
No. What I am suggesting is energy is received…in this case, negative energy. Someone attacks you. Someone betrays you. Someone stabs you.
At that point you have their energy. And energy is neutral until directed. So I am not suggesting you keep anything. I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I am suggesting you can take this energy and use it (direct it) in a way that is productive for yourself and others.
Case in point, myself. I get stabbed all the time. To the point of ridiculous. I am routinely attacked and this energy fuels this blog, among other things.
And this blog is very powerful, for me and for others. So the people who attack me…well, I may as well thank them. In other words, as my friend and astrologer, cf says: “Hit me with your best shot”. Do I care? I don’t. It’s all energy and energy is useful!
This is really very simple. Back to Hank Williams. You cheat on him, he hurts, he writes a song. It’s called, “Your Cheatin’ Heart”. Is he holding on to anything? No. He’s used the energy of the experience in a positive way. He’s used the pain to fuel his creativity.
And he plays that song and it moves people. Lovers dance to his song! Cheek to cheek! Isn’t that cool? He gets himself free.
And how do you think it feels to be the gal who cheated on him, hmm?

“You cheat on him, he hurts, he writes a song. It’s called, “Your Cheatin’ Heart”. Is he holding on to anything? No. He’s used the energy of the experience in a positive way. He’s used the pain to fuel his creativity.”
Geez!…That sort of brings us back to the pining post….and that it CAN be productive & creative.
I think the fact that ‘energy is just energy’ is important to understand.
*We* get to decide what we’re gonna do with it.
We can take ‘bad’ energy (our own or someone else’s) and use it to fuel or create Something Good.
Once we ‘get’ that, and master the art of actually ~doing~ it (talk is cheap), it’s amazing the healthy self-power we will feel and the Beautiful, Helpful, Life-Affirming Things we will create and feed.
I see. To me, you “keep” energy in a way even when you use it positively. e.g. When Tori Amos wrote “Me and a Gun” describing her experience with rape, she would sing it live at every concert for a couple tours and this seemed to be very important to her. But she’s done many tours since where she doesn’t feel the need to do that anymore. That terrible part of her life doesn’t seem to “grip” her in the same way. There’s no negative, no positive, it’s just been let go. Doesn’t mean one forgets, it just means one feels it’s time to focus on other things in life.
I think the same principle of expressing energy positively and letting it flow/go can be applied to other, more neutral events that are equally as devestating as betrayal e.g. death of a loved one, natural disasters, chronic illness etc.
Elsa, Couldn’t of said it better myself. You rock, Lady!
