Taking risks happens at many levels. It means going outside of what is safe and exposing ourselves to something strange and unfamiliar. Most of the time we don’t do this of our own free will. Life has a way of forcing us into new and difficult situations. Once we are in those situations we try to find our center and stabilize so we are not in crisis.

When we first tap into creative power and spiritual energy it does the best it can but is not able to alter physical events. This first contact with the Master Within involves abstract spiritual energy and in times of peace and relaxation offers us a feeling of peace and love. It also comforts us in our time of need.

This is where we find calmness and center ourselves. In times of crisis such as physical abuse, rape, robbery, or accident this same contact takes our mind and awareness away from our physical body as an act of mercy and it seems what is happening to our physical body is happening to someone else, to a stranger and not to us.

Our awareness retreats far back into a safe place provided by the Master Within. We are physically passive and defenseless; we are a victim and can only watch helplessly at things we can do nothing about. Later we tap into concrete spiritual energy and experience intuitive illuminations and “hunches” on the best way to tackle problem or situations. This is a type of intuitive knowing.

Our culture has chosen to give importance to the “illumination” aspect and minimize or ignore the “victim” aspect of these first contacts with the inner creative power. The important point is we all start with a zero balance of this creative power and as we reach in and tap our own source we accumulate a reserve. We accumulate more of this creative power by successfully confronting obstacles and by spiritual “disciplines” such as meditation.

Spiritual Energy is that level of awareness where everything works and the world is alright. It is where we feel in control of our lives at the highest level. The Rosicrucians call this awareness “The Master Within”.

“The Master Within” speaks to us through the still small voice of our conscience if we will listen to it and trust it. The more we listen to it, the more it will speak. The more we trust it, the more it can be trusted.

When we refuse to listen to the voice of our conscience it will quit trying to contact us.

Who knows why one person gives up and dies while another struggles on through overwhelming odds and comes out on top? We all want to survive. But are we willing to do what needs to be done?

The concept of trial by fire, alchemy, turning lead into gold, and choosing the harder path because of the reward it brings is an old one. Taking risks is a difficult path to understand and a difficult path to walk. Who wants to believe the “no pain, no gain” approach applies equally to spiritual life as it does to physical life?

When we express desire to have mastery over our own lives what do we really mean? The chances are that our vision of mastery includes the ability to accomplish physical goals we were born to do. We feel spiritual strength should overcome barriers that block us. For this reason we concentrate on spiritual things to the exclusion of physical realities and limitations.

We attempt to build reserves of spiritual strength to help us in our times of need. We have been taught and we believe to the point we no longer question. We are taught the superiority of spirit over physical and taught to deny the physical in favor of the spiritual. Perhaps you have heard the phrase “So heavenly bound they are no earthly good”.

Let’s take a closer look and see what is really happening. We will find the physical and spiritual are not to be so easily separated and each one has need of the other. Each of us has individual past memories and experiences we draw upon. Each of us has a system of beliefs tailored to us individually. They may not be appropriate for someone else.

We all walk individual paths. These memories , experiences, and beliefs create a web or network within our psyche that allows us to travel consciously from point A to point B. We solve problems that confront us by reasoning or traveling this web or network until we arrive at the desired destination and solution.

This web or network is our “computer program” that we can not deviate from or ever leave. One thought is connected to the next, connected to the next and so forth. This is the nature of associated thought and mental reasoning. It is not possible to jump from point A to point B unless a mental connection of some type exists, an association of some type.

We are imprisoned within the web or network of our personal memories, experiences and beliefs.
That is why it is so hard for us to move forward when we are stuck in a rut of old thinking and behavior.

Living intensely means to drain out every drop of vitality during the day and recharge at night while we are sleeping.

This is like a sponge that soaks up water and then releases it when it is squeezed. At first we are like dirty sponges that are so clogged with toxins and debris that we can’t hold much water. Maybe we can only contain 5% of our true potential.

Through repeated emptying and absorbing these toxins and debris are flushed out and we can hold more energy. This is the function of our physical bodies. Our physical bodies can both generate energy and store it. Even more exciting is when we reach the point of clarity where we can absorb energy from the universe and from our environment!

This happens when we have worked with a particular energy long enough to master it. We have created a permanent astral body out of that energy and it will sustain itself by drawing on its own resources.

Having the solitude and safe harbor to regenerate is just as important as the need to completely empty ourselves.

We need to protect ourselves from people and events that drain our energy. At least until we are recharged again. This cycle of ebb and flow is natural and found in nature as well as magikal practices.

When we are fully charged we focus that energy on the desired project or goal and release it. If we are strong enough the desired outcome will manifest. If we are not strong enough we will simply have removed some of the obstacles making it easier for us to progress next time.

In reading through Pavel Tsatsouline’s books on flexibility and health I was struck by a powerful integration! He claimed we already have all the muscle we need but we only use 5 or 10 % of what is available to us. Does that sound familiar?

He goes on to say the mother that lifts a car to save the life of her baby is not doing it through emotional strength or magickal levitation. She is simply using “all” of her muscle strength. Apparently only 5 or 10% of the muscles we use have nerves firing and making them work. The trick is to get the nerves firing on the other 90-95%!

The Russian Kettlebell acts to do this through the process of “ballistic shock”. The entire body absorbs the shock during a kettlebell workout and by spreading the impact throughout the body helps more of the nerves to fire. In my opinion this is why kettlebells are so effective.

If we apply the same concept to our mind and thought processes it’s pretty clear that the analogy still holds true. If we want to use more of our mental ability we need to fire those nerves through some form of “ballistic shock”. Perhaps it might be the exposure to a radical new idea? This shock absorber method is unique in that just a few “shocks” a day get better results than a steady “grind”. The trick is to get more nerves to fire and then let them rest and recuperate till next time.

We can apply this concept to all the energies generated by the physical body. Living intensely means to create “spikes” or “shocks” throughout the day with each of the energies. This involves planning and living a balanced life that has a bit of everything in it.

What happens is that the physical body becomes filled to overflowing with energy and can no longer contain it. The energy is then released into the astral through one of the bodies “energy centers” or “chakras”. We can feel the energy release when it happens.

In athletics this is called getting the “second wind”. But we can experience it with all of the other energies generated by the physical body.

As you can see there are several types of charisma that can be developed. Each type has its own characteristics and brings its own rewards. Our goal should be to develop each type of energy by doing activities that develop those energies on a daily basis.

All of our personal efforts are progressive and cumulative. Energy that we physically generate belongs only to us and can be used only by us. The goal should be putting out intense effort for at least 1/2 hour every day if possible. More than two hours of intense effort is too much. This should be done with each type of energy.

For developing etheric energy we should do some type of aerobic exercise. Do something you really enjoy. Ideally you will stress the body until you get the “second wind” sensation. When this happens the generated energy bursts free of the physical body and is going into the astral planes. You can also stress the physical body by doing breathing exercises but this should be done with extreme care.

Sexual energy is developed through the control and exploration of human sexuality and orgasm. Learning to control orgasm and make sexual pleasure last brings great pleasure to both partners and is worth learning. The time spent brings great rewards and personal satisfaction.

Too many people do not enjoy their own sexuality. Confronting anger, fear and depression and transforming them into determination and resolve best develops lower emotional energy. Find a way to use them in a creative and constructive manner. Take some risks and do some thrill seeking to develop the upper emotional energies.

We create crisis in our lives if we do not have enough excitement. By deliberately planning for excitement we take away the need for much of the crisis we face daily. Love, honor, patriotism, these are not things to laugh at. They are very important upper emotional energies as well. Find a cause to believe in and act upon it! Stand up for what you believe.

One of the greatest pleasures in life is to learn new things. Everyday if possible we should make a point to expand the world we live in by learning something new that we didn’t know before. This type of learning develops the awareness of our environment and strengthens our mental concrete energy.

Debate and philosophical argument strengthens our minds and our wills. Through practice we develop persistence and the ability to return our focus to what we are doing. If we allow ourselves to be side tracked we will never achieve the things we want in life. Mental discipline and will power is vital.

The resolution of paradox and problem solving allows us to think outside the box and make quantum leaps in awareness. These leaps in awareness are what breaks us out of old non-productive programming. Many people enjoy working puzzles and finding solutions.

Prayer and mediation every day can center us and bring us health and peace of mind. As we listen to the still small voice of our conscience we learn the all-important task of loving ourselves. If we can’t love ourselves how can we love others?

Lastly, we are all part of the great collective soul of humanity and part of the earth as well. How can we harm someone else without harming ourselves? In truth we are all in this together.

We monitor the development of these energies through our dreams. Our dream life is a form of astral work that reflects physical life. When we are happy and empowered in our dreams we are happy and empowered in our physical lives. Each dream involves a specific type of astral energy and represents our stage of development with that particular energy.

Etheric energy is physical based energy. It comes through our physical connections with others and through physical exertion. This is the energy that forms bonds between our parents, our siblings and others we love deeply. We form bonds that are so strong we couldn’t break them if we tried. When these bonds are supportive and positive nothing in the world can prevent us from achieving our goals in life.

Those that love us give us support and encouragement through the tough times and rejoice with us when we succeed. They share in our joy and we share in their joy. They share in our sorrow and we share in their sorrow.

As a united force working collectively toward a common goal we are able to overcome all obstacles and achieve great things. That at least is the ideal situation. This is what family can do for us! When these bonds are abusive and negative it is impossible to achieve permanent happiness and satisfaction in life.

These same people and bonds drain us of our will and lower our self-esteem. We become ineffective in our lives and doomed to struggle much harder than others. Our every effort toward happiness is sabotaged by self-defeating tendencies within us and within those we love.

There is a paradox at work here because we need supportive family when we are young and still maturing. As we mature and it becomes time to leave the nest we need to leave family behind to start new families of our own. This is true in the animal kingdom and also true in human society.

We find this same dynamic within other “families” that we may belong to. As an example we may aspire to become a professional writer and join the local writers group. This family will support us as we mature in our writing ability but it will never allow us to become professional. When our writing skills are mature we need to leave the local family and enter into the professional writing world seeking our own readership on our own merits.

Etheric energy involves competency and the ability to manifest things in the physical world through personal effort. This energy is never free. We need to earn it.

There are two ways we can develop this energy and use it to achieve positive results. The first is through hard physical work. Hard physical work generates etheric energy and creates a powerful body that can withstand the abuses we subject it to.

The physical act of “doing” successfully overwhelms those influences that say “you can’t do”. In this manner we physically prove to those that don’t believe in us that we have the ability to achieve. Their resistance is overcome through the sheer intensity of our physical effort. By trial and error we develop competency through personal effort. We earn our rewards. The second way to develop etheric energy is by going through psychotherapy or counseling to explore and bring into awareness the self-destructive aspects we all have.

In this manner we confront those issues and come to terms with them. We learn to act in a more appropriate manner. Doing this releases trapped and repressed energy allowing us to make productive use of it.

The first method is to generate new energy through physical effort. This second method is to reclaim energy that we already have but can’t use because it has been repressed. Both are important in the process of self-empowerment. The person that has highly developed etheric energy forms deep bonds of attachment everywhere he goes and is deeply loved by close personal friends. He is able to physically manifest things in life through hard work.

His friends are highly supportive of him and he is highly supportive of them. The magnetic charm and attraction he possesses lets others know he will always be there if they need him. This is a person that can be counted on. This is a person strong in themselves and their ability to live a productive life. They are highly competent.

Anger, fear, pain and anguish are all lower emotional energies. Determination and resolve are the traits we acquire as we develop these energies. The development of these energies is not easy. There is often a gap between the way we wish things were and the way things really are. The lower emotional energies fill that gap.

At first we are confronted with negative or harmful physical circumstances that we have no control over. We are “victims” and feel the paralyzing despair of helplessness as events damage our lives and the lives of those we love. That is until we get fed up and decide to do something about the mess we are in.

We develop these energies by deliberately and methodically confronting our deepest fears and bringing them into full awareness. As we develop these energies we still feel fear but force ourselves into physical action to defend and protect ourselves from further damage and suffering. We learn to physically respond in an appropriate manner in spite of our fear.

In the jungle the roar of a lion makes some animals freeze with fear and the lion eats them. It makes other animals run like hell and they get away. How we deal with our own fear is quite similar. We can freeze and not do anything or we can move in spite of our fear becoming free to move forward toward our dreams.

Through repeated frustrated experiences we become angry instead of fearful. We physically lash out in pain and rage at what is hurting us. We gain the ability to defend ourselves and are no longer “victims”. A point is reached where we use our anger in creative ways to propel us toward the fulfillment of our dreams.

This is the development of courage, determination and resolve. “I’ll be damned if I am going to let that stop me”, is an example of using anger by turning it into resolve and determination.

The person that develops these traits has a magnetic charm and attraction that is emotionally powerful and overwhelming. He is a natural leader and takes control in emergency situations. This person overwhelms the opposition through shear force of will and personality. The aura radiates from this person and dominates all others in the room. When he walks in a room heads turn and notice. This is a variant of raw sexual magnetism. Sexual magnetism is developed in the same manner through confronting and dealing with our own fears about human sexuality and closeness in relationships.

Sexual charisma and magnetism is something all of us would like to have more of. No matter how much we have it is not enough. We want to be sexually attractive to the opposite sex and to our partner.

Sexual energy and sexual magnetism is developed through orgasm. More correctly it is developed through the pleasurable waves that flood the body prior to orgasm. This energy floods the body and escapes into the astral to create an astral body out of sexual energy.

Like each type of astral energy generated by the physical body, sexual energy is cumulative in nature. The creation of an astral body and development of sexual magnetism requires many orgasms or near orgasms. For the male this involves prolonged sexual tension without orgasm as long as possible. For the female this involves riding the peak of the orgasm and making it last as long as possible.

Those serious about developing sexual magnetism will generate this energy on a daily basis over long periods of time. Often several years go by before this astral body is fully formed and functional.

There are dangers involved with generating massive amounts of sexual energy. The most important is that it will stir up deeply buried and repressed emotional baggage as it circulates throughout the physical body. This will cause emotional releases or outbursts. In more serious cases it may cause psychotic episodes where the repressed emotions are released and take over the body without conscious control.

I personally experienced an episode where I relived every memory of being physically punished as a child. This was followed with two hours of uncontrollable weeping as the repressed energy was released. It was not a pleasant experience but it was a healthy one!

It is the happy emotions that really make lives worth living! Without emotions, life is very sterile. We live for emotional satisfaction and pleasure. The most familiar forms of this energy are joy, love, and excitement. With this energy we feel alive and vital in the most positive ways. The development of these emotional energies includes honor, pride and a sense of fairness.

This is the energy responsible for the enjoyment of the fine arts, music and nature. This emotional energy allows us to experience and feel the beauty of life in all its forms. It can fill us with profound feelings of bliss and satisfaction.

We develop this energy by taking risks, doing new things and being successful at them. It is the joy of winning and the joy of attainment that develops this emotion within us. When we try something new and discover we like it our world expands and we feel free and joyous.

We create this energy by doing things we enjoy and love. Curiosity, pleasure seeking, sensuality, excitement and thrills all help to bring emotional richness. If we don’t do new things we can’t develop this energy properly. It is in the joy of discovery and going on exciting adventures that we rediscover our “inner child”. The world really is an exciting adventure and we never know what surprises await around the corner.

As children we had an abundance of this energy. As we grew older we forgot to do fun things and gradually lost the ability to treat life as an exciting adventure. Fortunately we have the ability to reclaim this excitement by doing things we love.

We can tell when someone has developed this aspect of themselves because they radiate a love and enjoyment of life everyone can sense. They make us feel alive and vital as well.

This is the magnetic charm and attraction of this energy when it is fully developed. We all want to be around this person because they are fun and we are boring. In social circles they are the life of the party and extremely popular. They laugh a lot and have a highly developed sense of humor. These people can show us how to enjoy life!

One of the greatest joys in life is to learn new things and gain increased awareness of our world. Being conscious and aware is what this mental energy is all about.

We use this energy when we absorb and learn from our environment. We develop it by becoming walking question marks. We are curious and listen to others learning all we can. At first we are accepting of what others say without question. Authorities tell us what to do and we do it. Each human is highly suggestible and responds to external authorities.

Mental energy is developed as we make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. This energy is not creative except in the ability to learn. At first we make mistakes and don’t learn from them. As we acquire more of this energy we learn and don’t repeat them.

As life experience accumulates we devise strategies and systems that get us through each situation. These are mental programming tasks like how to drive a car or ride a bicycle. The more mental energy we have, the more complex our mental programs.

The human brain works like a computer program. Instead of treating each situation as unique we devise “formulas” to get the things we want. At first we try old behavior patterns to see if they will work in new situations. Later we take “formulas” from successful people and try to make the “formulas” work for us. When they don’t work we learn from the mistakes and alter the “formula” until it works.

We all have a tendency to use old behaviors in new situations. A truly successful “formula” will get a person what he wants. The magnetic charm or appeal this person has comes from a well-polished and perfected “formula” that allows him to be the best at whatever he does.

This is the smooth talker that can charm the opposite sex and break hearts. This is the businessperson that is highly proficient and productive in his job or skill. This person uses a “formula” to become an expert and is highly predictable. He can not easily deviate from his “formula” and may become “trapped” in it when it doesn’t work. The more developed this astral body is; the more adaptive, resourceful and universal our “formula” becomes.

In summary first we absorb and learn from our environment. After we understand what is expected we try doing things and fall flat on our faces because of inexperience. We are easily influenced by “Authority figures”. Ultimately we find doing what other people tell us to do is not rewarding and does not bring us closer to our hopes and dreams. That is when we begin the slow and hard task to devise “programs” that work for us.

It’s easy to admire the person that is talented and “slick”. We want to become like them because they make it look so easy. The danger lies in becoming stuck in behavior patterns that no longer work. A good goal is to become highly skilled and adaptable at the same time. A well rounded education and general knowledge gives a solid foundation for specialized knowledge.
