Every spiritual path works with energy patterns, bringing a higher energy closer to consciousness so that its practitioners can have access to and work with it. A spiritual community or retreat center is in itself an energy field, creating a container of peace, devotion, love, or selfless service, depending on the energy of the path. Entering a spiritual center or community, one can feel the quality of the energy that belongs to its particular lineage. While some evoke a feeling of detachment, others might resonate more with the heart and the feeling of love. The energy field of a particular path affects all those who come into contact with it, helping align them with the spiritual qualities of that path. In the light created by a spiritual community, we can have easier and greater access to our own light. A spiritual community is also beneficial to the surrounding environment, including the people, plants, and animals nearby. Every person has her own natural magic that affects her surroundings. Learning to work with one’s own natural magic is part of the teaching of a spiritual path. Mostly this teaching is kept hidden, even from the practitioner, so that it cannot be used for personal gain. But there are also occasions when it needs to be known, when we need to consciously reclaim this part of our heritage. When we recognize that life is an interrelated web of light and darkness, we can begin to understand how our own energy field affects not only our immediate surroundings, but how it affects the whole. The flow of energy that radiates from each of us directly influences the energy field of life. Light attracts light, darkness draws darkness to itself. And just as we have our own individual energy blocks, so are there blocks in the energy fields of life. Working with these energy blocks has always been a part of the spiritual work of the masters of love, and they train their disciples to help them in this work. The power of love and devotion, combined with an understanding of the energy patterns of creation— the ways energy flows throughout humanity and all of life—can help unblock restricted energy. Then light and love, wisdom and meaning can be more accessible. Yet there is a way to work behind the scenes of life, just as one can work within the hearts of people, to gently and gradually dissolve the blocks and barriers that prevent people from realizing and living who they really are. There is a way to subtly shift the veils of illusion so that we can come to see ourself reflected more clearly, so that we can glimpse the deeper purpose of our life more easily. This is real magic, and it will help the world and everything in it come alive again with its own magic. LVL
