Energy. First.

Humans Are Energy Depleted

Everything in life begins and ends with energy. Every thought, inspiration, movement and action requires energy. Even your unconscious processes keeping you alive take their share of your energy.

Most humans exist in an energy depleted state. While in that state, our power and abilities are dramatically diminished.

Our brain and other cognitive systems become lethargic. Our ability to focus becomes blunted. Our actions and movements become stunted. It becomes more difficult to silence our inner dialog, free ourselves from ourselves and live the life of our dreams.

Misperception of Energy

From the moment we are born, descriptions of our world are constantly being thrust upon us by our parents, family and friends. This indoctrination by our teachers includes their understanding of “energy”… that manifests itself through what we describe as physical. Beliefs we come to accept as our own. We never question it. It becomes cemented into our library of knowns.

Those ahead of us in our lineage; parents, grandparents, etc., fed us their answers to our questions. Society imbues us with their consensus of who we are and the roles we are to play. Higher value is assigned to some, lower value to others... as we mold ourselves into their descriptions in order to gain favor, acceptance, rejection... attention of others. 

Thus the misbelief that our world... and ourselves are solid objects, all of which frames how we “understand” and engage energy.

"Don Juan pointed out that everyone who comes into contact with a child is a teacher who incessantly describes the world to him, until the moment when the child is capable of perceiving the world as it is described…. From that moment on, however, the child is a member. He knows the description of the world; and his membership becomes full-fledged." 

— Carlos Castaneda

Physical vs. Vibrational Energy

"At our most elemental, we are not a chemical reaction, but an energetic charge.

Human beings and all living things are a coalescence of energy in a field of energy connected to every other thing in the world. This pulsating energy field is the central engine of our being and our consciousness, the alpha and the omega of our existence.

There is no ‘me’ and ‘not me’ duality to our bodies in relation to the universe, but one underlying energy field. This field is responsible for our mind’s highest function, the information source guiding the growth of our bodies. It is our brain, our heart, our memory – indeed, a blueprint of the world for all time. ‘The field’ is the force, rather than germs or genes, that finally determines whether we are healthy or ill, the force that must be tapped in order to heal. We are attached and engaged, indivisible from our world, and our only fundamental truth is our relationship with it. ‘The field,’ as Einstein once succinctly put it, ‘is the only reality." —  Lynne McTaggart, The Field

"I am saying that this is first a world of energy; then it's a world of objects. If we don't start with the premise that it is a world of energy, we'll never be able to perceive energy directly. We'll always be stopped by the physical certainty of what you've just pointed out, the hardness of objects." — Don Juan Matus via Carlos Castaneda, The Art of Dreaming

Align Your Physical & Vibrational Energy Bodies  

Because these shamans of the lineage of Carlos Castaneda can perceive energy directly as it moves through the universe… these seers, as they are called, found that human beings, when we are born, have a physical body inside of a luminous sphere. On the exterior of that, we have this extra luminous sphere, which they call a vibrational energy body.

Throughout the course of our life, with the programming and conditioning we receive and accept as reality, that vibrational energy body begins to shift from being aligned with our physical body, to behind us. It becomes separated and in the background.

Our physical, solid body and our physical way of looking at the world becomes the foreground and our energetic way of looking at things moves to the background.

The purpose of Tensegrity® and the Energy. First. workshop is to drag that energy body sphere back over and into alignment with our physical body. You get to choose whether to allow the usual withering, or to live your life with the energy of your birthright.

“Don Juan Matus stated that human beings as organisms perform a stupendous maneuver, a false front; they take the influx of sheer energy in the universe at large and turn it into sensory data, which they they interpret according to a strict system of of interpretation that shaman-seers call the human form." — Carlos Castaneda
