The Three Channels Of Energy

How do we approach, react to and interpret life?

We think about it.
We have an emotional feeling about it.
We have a physical reaction to it.

An example of how these three energies interact within us is our recent brush with death. We had a "near-miss" driving in our car. A swerving car, coming at us from the opposite direction, braked and skidded right towards us. We accelerated into the inside lane, and flew out of harm's way by inches. Only seconds elapsed, but panic and shock arose for both of us in a flash. Rod's physical reaction as the driver was excellent. Amy was frozen. Good job she wasn't driving the car.

This incident, like any other, can be viewed in three ways:

With our mental energy (the head channel): our intellect, our ideas and opinions, right and wrong, considerations, postulates, agreements, disagreements, calculations. We think -- therefore we think we are. This is our intellectual self.
In the automobile incident, Rod, the driver, had to think so quickly that it was the unconscious, automatic intellectual decision that auto drivers make many times every day of their driving life; speed up, slow down, pull over-all in a millisecond.

With our emotional energy (the heart channel): apathy, grief, despair, fear, anger, jealousy, boredom, enthusiasm, joy, serenity. I love you and/or I hate you. This is our emotional self. Emotions are the area where we are often in the least control. We are attacked and we react emotionally, being pushed from one state into another. In the auto incident, fear was the dominant emotion for both the driver and the passenger.

With our physical senses (the body channel): pain and pleasure, vigor and exhaustion. Sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch. Our sexuality. This is our physical self. In the car incident, the mind decides and the body responds. After the event, the emotions fly up. "That was a close one." Adrenaline floods our system, and away we go.

These three channels of perception and expression are reflected in our biorhythms.
