Counter-clockwise and clockwise
Below is a simple analytical framework you can use to assess yourself on your own life path. It was revealed to me during a meditation. So: this is what I have been told.
Flowing, pulsating and rotating
To start with, a brief lesson on energy. Energy, you might say, pulsates, rotates or flows. For the purposes of what I want to say, this is a fine distinction. You see energy pulsating, rotating or flowing. By flowing, I mean movement in a line, from A to B and beyond. Rotating is a pulsating movement that contains a flow effect. The spiral movement is a rotating movement with a flowing movement. I believe the pulsating movement is the most basic form. The lesson I was once given during a meditation is based on these three basic forms in which energy manifests. We will now look at a human being with these three movements in mind. This concerns only the analysis I was given.
A flowing energy movement in a human being
From bottom to top, from far below us to far above us, is a flowing movement. From top to bottom, from far above us to far below us, is also a flowing movement. These are the basic life-giving energies on which we depend. That is the ka. Imagine a perfectly smooth tube, about 5 to 10 centimetres in diameter, running vertically through you. Through this tube, the currents that form this ‘tube’, you are connected to the most important life-giving energies.
A rotating energy movement in a human being
We also have a rotating movement of energies. This rotating movement revolves around the flowing movement. The rotating movement can go in two directions: from left to front to right to back to left and so on (clockwise). Or the other way round, from left to back to right to front to left and so on (anti-clockwise).
A pulsating energy movement in a human being
We also have a pulsating movement from the sides. From left and right, this pulls inwards and outwards simultaneously, then inwards again and so on. This movement is expanding and contracting. The pulsating movement, viewed from the sides, can have a larger pulsating range or a smaller pulsating range. To clarify: imagine that you have both arms hanging down by your sides. If you move them both slightly outwards at the same time – the left arm to the left and the right arm to the right – and then back again, you have a small pulsating movement. You can make this movement larger by increasing the extent to which you extend your arms outwards on both sides.
A flowing movement through time
The pulsating movement blends with a flowing movement from back to front. So there is another flowing movement, which goes from back to front. Behind you lies your past. Ahead of you lies your future. That movement is the movement through time that you make. From your past, through the present, to your future. That is your development through time.
Pulsations in time
So, in a sense, you move forward through time, leaving time behind you as it becomes your past, and you pulsate. There are all kinds of pulsating movements within time. There is the pulsating movement of a day: from early morning to daytime to evening to night to early morning, and so on. That is a pulsating movement. There were cultures that therefore assumed that every day was the same day. They knew no time, only pulsations. But we experience this in time and give it a flowing movement: you move forward from one day into the next day and on to the following day and so on. When the pulsating movement is closest to the centre, it is night. When the pulsating movement is at the point where it is furthest from the centre, that is the middle of the day. Moving towards evening and night is like your arms, to use that as an image, moving back towards your body. And moving from night to day is like your arms stretching out fully from your body to the sides. The further the pulsating movement is from you, the greater your reach is in your life. People with a wide scope have a strong, large pulsating movement. People with a narrower scope have a smaller pulsating movement.
If you look at a human life as a whole, you see a different pulsating movement over the years. A person starts as a baby, grows slowly into an adult and then ages into old age. That is one pulsation. You see that the range is small as a baby, slowly expands until it reaches its peak and then slowly diminishes again as one grows older.
You also have a pulsating movement in relation to illness and health. When ill, the pulsation is close to the centre and your range is small; as you get better, it expands; and when healthy, it is furthest from the centre. And so on.
The importance of the direction of rotation in the rotating system
Here is another crucial factor: which way does your rotating system turn? Because your rotating system determines the strength of your pulsation and the forces of the energy flowing from low to high and vice versa. As the pulsating force increases, this manifests as a greater range of influence. You then get much greater pulsations, a much greater range of influence and impact. As the flowing forces increase, you receive more life-giving energies into your system. But if your rotating energy is counter-clockwise, it acts like a tap that you turn off. Then both the flow from the Earth upwards and the flow from the heights into the Earth become smaller. With a clockwise circular movement, it is exactly the opposite; you are actually opening the tap of the vertical flow. For the left is consciousness, that is to say, the greater consciousness, and the right is your character. So the movement that brings life should be as follows: from the greater consciousness (left), you project visions into the future (ahead of you) that lie ahead of you; what you leave behind in the process forms your character (right) and draws further into the past (behind you), so that you may receive, time and again, the impulse from the consciousness situated on the left.
If you flow in a counter-clockwise direction, your future is determined by your character; this is not a renewing movement but a rigidifying one, which allows you to move off to the left, but you cannot pick up the impulse from the left because it moves directly into your past, which lies behind you. Your character is formed from your past, and you project this onto the future, which thus remains sterile. The high-consciousness impulses from the left are not absorbed into the system but continue to be lost in the past. Thus, you also see that negative developments destroy themselves, for negative developments are always those that flow counter-clockwise. They shut themselves off from the flow of life and dry up. So if you do not allow yourself to be inspired by the ever-renewing higher consciousness in your visions of the future and of yourself, you automatically turn in the wrong direction, which locks you in and exhausts you. Your reach, your pulsation, becomes ever smaller because the nourishing energies from the Earth and the cosmos are being cut off. The tap is being turned off.
It’s easy to sense for yourself which direction you’re heading in. In the same way, it’s easy to see which direction society is moving in. If there are worries, fears about the future, gloomy thoughts, irritations, strict norms, and other such things present in someone’s consciousness, and if these are quite strong and outweigh joy, trust, vision, hope, love, openness and curiosity, then you know what time it is and which way this person is leaning. Various systems are at work here. So it may be that one system causes you to regress, for example, into illness, because another system is then opening up within you for which you previously had no energy, attention or time.
Do not cling to this as a system imposed from the outside, but as something that arises spontaneously from within. For otherwise, so-called joy, which does not well up from the heart and is not spontaneous, is a standard you impose on yourself and is part of a counter-clockwise energy. Do not create energies here that are not real but manufactured. Do realise, however, that if it is not there, you have clutter to clear away. That, too, is not something you can force, but something that will open up if you are open to it and want it. Developments take their own time.
Meditation
Meditating is a good strategy for loosening up energies that are stuck. Meditating helps you to expand your foundation. By meditating, you create a stronger base within yourself from which you can draw strength and into which positive, clockwise-spinning energies can flow.
The ka
In the meantime, I have found additional information about the ka and how it relates to the direction in which you rotate. When I was allowed to look inside it, it turned out to be a swirling spiral, rotating in the opposite direction to your own rotation. Because the two interlock, like a screw. If you turn a screw in one direction, the material into which you are turning the screw turns, as it were, in the opposite direction. The ka feeds on the energies from the higher consciousness that enter the system from the left. When the ka cannot feed on this, it will shrink and wither. Then there is less access for the energies coming from very high and very low.
You often see left-turning systems busily taking many small steps in succession, seemingly to conceal their lack of reach. There is a lot of activity, but no substantial change for the better is brought about.
