Hypothetically, if fear were a form of vibrational energy others could feed on, are you producing food for them? Are you their fast food joint they can swing by and nibble on at any moment? Does any little thing set you off where a few minutes later you’re thinking, “What just happened? Why am I so angry, frustrated, triggered... and what’s the root causal fear behind this? What am I avoiding?”
Monsters Inc had some interesting ideas. What if laughter along with light, love, joy, peace, goodness, and similar vibrations are actually more powerful energies? What if these energies are additive and multiplicative instead of subtractive? What if there isn’t a single directional transfer where one entity consumes from another, like a black hole gobbling up all matter around it, but instead a radiant star like our sun, shining energy in every direction, freely available to all?
What if our vibrational state of mental (and spiritual/emotional) awareness was as tangible as light? Maybe we can’t hold it, but it’s no less real as it leaves our body to impact the world around us.
Either way, I’m learning to honor people’s individual journeys, even if they have chosen to be “vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.” My limited knowledge and understanding means I’m only truly free to make judgements about myself and my own state of consciousness. This is challenging, of course, when we are meant to lead a family or team and take on responsibilities for shared goals which extend beyond ourselves. No easy task not to get caught up in that and get off track. There’s a fine line at times between responsibility (dharma?) and an attachment to an outcome that isn’t really your burden to carry.
Even if this is all just children’s movie talk, giving it some substance in your life can be helpful.
Let go of fear that doesn’t serve a useful purpose for you. Don’t feed the dark energy trolls. :)
