Substances & Energy

Technological vibes and anything addictive can affect people and the way lives play out.  One of the biggest challenges for energetically-sensitive people is living in balance.  How  we position ourselves as channels and observers influences how we respond.  “Just” waking up; entertaining too much; studying, working or socialising can throw self off-centre.  Not everyone notices such things but some do.  This highlights how frame of reference plays a pivotal role.

The above represents a major discourse on how invisible dynamics impact a person’s experience.  Other websites also explore such subjects.  Feel free to visit them.  What’s written below seeks to explain how substances and energy impact self, highlighting the need to do “it” with awareness. Energy is real and ramifications flow out of every choice we make.

The energetic realm is full of layers

Many have explored the world of energy; psychic phenomena; emotional and thought waves.  The invisible realm includes egoic and divine dynamics.  Higher-level wavelengths spiritually heal, clear and guide.  The world’s full of layers and every row of atoms has a different feel to it.  The higher one goes, the more balanced and peaceful the “vibes” become.  Humans exist in amongst the lower levels whilst connected to divine guidance.  This can explain why some can sense a range of energies.  What we encounter is shaped by lifestyle, issues, thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

The lower levels are also known as the astral or egoic realm.  They include electromagnetic, digital, mental and emotional rhythms, not because they need to be labelled negatively.  It’s where ghosts tend to hang out and why some humans bump into them.  Divine energies also exist in these layers.  The difference is they don’t hang about. 

The astral level is flavoured with greater self-focus.  Lower-level vibes can interfere with awareness of soul and divine rhythms. Astral and egoic states promote exclusion, limitation, pessimism.  Knowing that we can reference higher is key to intuiting well.  The conscious choice to release all egoic vibes can trigger noticeable shifts in life.

Technology and recreational substances are closer to mental and astral realms as frequencies.  They suppress or stimulate which is why they often feel hyper or heavy energetically.  When we forget to rebalance, we can start to feel overloaded.  The egoic levels always use volume.  People can feel this as a state of disconnection whenever they get too caught up.  This is why quality time out, breath, quiet moments and exercise matter.  Through such things, we help ourselves experience life in good balance.

The lower levels are where ‘negative’ influence exist

There are all sorts of things in the world of energy.  Some good; some bad; some in between.  The lower the levels, the heavier or more erratic things can feel.  This is because egoic dynamics have yet to connect with life-giving energy (Source).  They’re still nurturing thoughts or feelings that hold them in lower level dialogues.  Stuckness and weight come out of opinion, fear, states of mind.  Egoic self can’t see around corners but often believes it knows more.  Energy can present as unpleasant but only because there are issues to heal.  Everything is linked to and guided by the soul level.  Some beings have yet to discover this.

Just as there are angels so, too, there are “demons” – “naughty” energies that create problems.  They only do this because of their view and the fact they’re spiritually stuck.  They don’t yet trust (know) Source is there to help them resolve and release.  The Divine is real, kind and potent especially when we know this.  “Naughty” vibes often know how to reference but prefer not to.  This stems from lack of faith and awareness, explaining why they hang out amongst humans.  Here, they can affect spaces and lives, especially when egoic or addictive dynamics are entertained.  Everything is balance in the world of energy.  What manifests reflects what we entertain.

The lower levels promote lack of faith, pessimism, over-mindful states, tension

“Negative influence” tends to present when self’s caught up with astral vibes.  We can all end up here and, through this, we learn about life.  It’s easy to become distracted or myopic; away from spiritual focus again.  Mind is a bowl, a receiving vessel.  Self doesn’t always remember that.  Over-using technology, medication, alcohol, processed foods and/or drugs can pull us into thought and feeling realms too much. Such dynamics often grow out of overly busy routines. 

The mental realm offers great value, even when it’s out of kilter.  We can all react to excess as if it is only negative.  Balance is key in all dynamics.  It’s where the ultimate truths are found. Natural settings, fresh air, exercise and referencing well are key promoters of wellness.  The challenge is to ground in what gives life, not what depletes or skews it.  It’s easy to become blocked or down from time to time.  Such dynamics grow if left to run.  Through the above, as experiences, we come to respect all that life is. 

Overly-mindful states – our own or others – act as magnets to lower-level vibes.  This is simply a part of life.  There’s no way around it.  Constancy isn’t constantly dialled in.  Flow is always up then down.  Wiring creation in this manner, Source guarantees growth, adventure, resolution.  Life requires balance, exercise and breath in order to flow optimally.  The joy of such things is that, coming to know them, we can shape outcomes and how we live. 

Like attracts like in the world of energy

Any sense of tension, negativity or limit is a sign that self can focus higher, wider, truer again.  What self experiences or attracts results from what it focuses on.  In the world of energy, like attracts like – we end up in states we’re entertaining on some level. Subtly or more obviously, this is how the universe highlights issues for resolution.  Becoming more aware of and responsible for our choices plays a key role in spiritual development.

The person who “over-does” alcohol or drugs is often more egoically bound.  That doesn’t render anything “good” or “bad”.  We’re all still learning heaps about the energetic layers.  One may believe in ultimate goodness but have yet to really live that stance.  Addiction isn’t conscious or easy.  We’re all addicted to some-thing or -one.  Substance abuse links users more deeply into lower-level rhythms.  Left uncleared, such dynamics tend to grow and magnify issues.  Through this, ultimately – this life or a next one – self learns to connect higher and truer.

Places where people over-use technology and/or substances often feel heavy or stuck.  They tend to be full of lower-level vibes because they’re not energetically cleared enough.  This can create a magnifying effect, attracting more astral energies.  Entities like to socialise, not only with those who are using.

Astral rhythms don’t only target users.  They gravitate to anyone who can sense (and help) them.  Have you noticed how some people, near a substance, change the moment it’s mentioned?  Well-entrenched addicts noticeably shift because their attachments are looking for a feed. Such dynamics can overwhelm people who are energetically-sensitive. 

The lower levels are the loudest

The egoic levels need attention which is why addictive states tend to be myopic or loud.  The astral levels can feel unpleasant and always use loudness in some way. Some entities feed quietly yet energetically-sensitive people can sense them.  This is how oversubscription to drugs, alcohol and/or technology can impact even if self isn’t the consumer.  Heavy egoic, mental or technological energies can travel with a person for years. 

Egoic vibes can be silently felt, seen, smelt, tasted or heard.  They always come with a level of noise on one of these levels or more.  The loud ones can be really distressing, needy, abusive, even schizoid.  Energetically-sensitive people can have an “allergic” reaction to such dynamics.  Loud astral states can be sensed before an intuit physically meets up with them. 

Do it with awareness

This page doesn’t aim to moralise.  It simply outlines how egoic realms can present.  It’s not always a case of “don’t do it ever” – rather: “do it with awareness”. People who feel, see or hear “things” tend to have the biggest challenge – especially sentients – because it can take time to learn how to spiritually process “things”.

Whenever egoic energies get loud, check what you’ve been entertaining.  Review your current approaches to life – e.g. relating, work, enjoyment, balance.  “Turning the other cheek” and “being forgiving” can be energetic traps.  Fair and healthy boundaries matter. Thet doesn’t need to see compassion squashed.  The universe seeks mutual respect.  Win-win’s the state it wants established on every level. 

So?  Test these thoughts whenever you feel out of alignment after some of “that”.  It could be you, them, the place, the food, the substances; or because you haven’t had a decent break.  Addressing such things is a step-by-step process of trial, error, discovery.  The universe – Source – always guides well, especially when we partner with It. It’s only when we don’t know this fully that lessons manifest energetically.  As partly egoic beings we’re here to learn through “what’s not” to exist in maximum “what is”.

How much is too much?

There’s no one answer to this question.  Some would say, “Any at all”.  The consumption or allowance of addictive stances seems to hit children, indigenous people, older people, those on medication and females the hardest. Indigenous people can be hit hard because of their connections to Earth.  This does not mean that indigenous peoples practise a lower level of spirituality. More spiritually aware of and bound to nature, they can be more affected by energies. 

In young adults (i.e. moderate users), drug and alcohol use doesn’t always play out severely.  This doesn’t mean issues don’t manifest.  It’s just that young people tend to bounce better.  This depends upon the substance – e.g. beer’s softer than spirit; ice worse than dope.  With age, however, most bodies find it harder to process it all.  The human body is a sponge in which energies build over time.  As we age, we can need less before imbalance on any level starts manifesting.

Prescribed medication can also impact energetic health.  This is widely known but not always labelled as such.  Too many drugs can weaken the aura, leaving self open to astral attack. This can see some people out of sorts faster; channelling vibes that are more extreme.  Through this, we learn to listen to our bodies.

Gender also matters.  The female absorbs (receives and carries life).  Combined with age, exercise levels and technology use, substances can hit females hard. Yet, men and young people can also be energetically sensitive.  Intuitive awareness can manifests in any gender, culture, profession or age.  The point here?  Listen to your gut when imbalance presents as a feeling.

What if I’m energetically sensitive and don’t partake at all?

Intuitive, spiritual or energetic practice doesn’t shield a person from lower-level influence.  Lower-level vibes are all around us.  They help us develop and make choices on every level.  We can bump into them anywhere.  Every situation, every day, is unique.  There is no one answer or way things manifest.  Lower-level vibes get help by approaching those who can sense them.  

The realm of lost souls was once described as a room without any light.  Spirit hangs about because it’s in the dark – i.e. has yet to find/use the “exit”.  It’s usually pleased when the light turns on and moves toward it.  The “light bulb” is often a child, addicted and/or energetically-sensitive person.  Lost souls approach to resolve spiritual issues.  That’s not always how it presents, explaining why it can spook.  Yet, as soon as entities share why they’ve come, they tend to clear.  Naughty, negative, pleasant, child-like… the lower-levels clear as soon as their issues are heard.  

The interpersonal reality of substances and energy

When one person uses and another doesn’t, a good meeting point can be hard to find.  Substances are often used to quieten issues but don’t actually stop vibes from flowing out. This can be sensed by sensitive people and be hard to believe.  No matter how well the sentient explains it, non-intuitive others can think they’re imagining things.  That’s simply because they do not experience the world of energy (yet).

The above doesn’t need to promote exclusion.  If respect isn’t two-way, life is flagging a different route.  Everyone matters all of the time.  We all need to be considerate. No one is supposed to carry others as an ongoing routine.  Everyone has to process his/her stuff.  This can be a lesson for energetically-sensitive people.  Like attracts like – if you make like a porter, life can reflect that.
