By “internal energies” I mean the energy that moves, congests, connects, doesn’t connect, burbles up, squelches down, affects, doesn’t affect, pools, radiates, flows in “us”. Each of us. And, I’m so used to thinking, feeling, being in this construct that I have a tough time defining what I mean by this “energy”. I’ll start with what I don’t mean.

I don’t mean emotions. I don’t mean thoughts. I don’t mean any of our anatomical structures or physiological systems. I do though mean the thing is that is our life force and source. The same life force and source that affects and is affected by our emotions, thoughts and physicality.

As well and somehow, in my holding of this… our spirituality is either synonymous with this life force or our sprirituality is another “system”, analogous to emotions, thoughts and our physicality, affecting and affected by our life force. For me, this distinction depends on whether we live our spirituality as a separation or an integration, i.e. whether we live as a human being working to be spiritual or as a spiritual being having a human experience. It is in the latter “way” that I see spirituality synonymous with “life force” and it is the way I feel it.
