Energic Places
As you become more aware of the the subtle energy, you will see it around you everywhere you go. You will begin to sense that it is not only alive but that it posesses consciousness. It is, in fact, the very essence of awareness, imbuing everything with knowledge and wisdom. The role that we humans play in the scheme of things is to see and interpret the flows of energy -- to recognize them and give them form, more or less. Through a kind of synergy, we can comprehend the energy in a somewhat discrete form. It becomes a living, aware entity in a way, coalescing into a recognizable identity.
When people have seen these forms manifest themselves in identifiable unities, they have called them spirits, fairies, angels, ghosts and even demons; they are focal points of the very real and objective ether which surrounds us and, in its own way, experiences the world much as we do (for after all, our bodies are only conduits through which this subtle energy flows and the ether is the true essence of what we are). We help, through our minds, to give the ether a more stable and familiar form and in this way establish a way by which we can communicate with it and partake of its wisdom and experience.
When you find yourself in a remote area, you should try to make contact with the natural ether or spirit of the place. By using the techniques which you develop through the exercises to see the ether, you can enhance your sensitivity and begin to perceive the qualities of the energy you are in contact with. Eventually out of the amorphous mass of ether you may notice certain attributes emerge: a face, a form or simply a feeling. As you let yourself connect with it, these attributes will come together to form what could be called an entity -- a distinct and conscious being which the focus of your mind has enhanced. Every time you return to this place, the entity will become more focused and easier to communicate with. Sometimes such entities will speak. Other times they will communicate through feelings and sensations. But the give and take which emerges from this contact can be one of the most rewarding relationships you could ever have.
