Allow me to add my personal opinion. If Steve has written about it, I can also
Energy is something I've been thinking of. I called it
silent energy. It contains everything. It's not about good or bad. It's not about doing or not doing. It's there.
Since I got my concepts from cartoons, I was afraid to talk about it. I've realized the importance of it after reading Steve's article.
The first concept is that of
Aura. Aura is the representation cartoons give to energy. Remember
Dragon Ball Z? Well that's it. People perceive aura. It's self-perceptible. Everything, even nature percieve it. Have you ever seen a dog bark at someone with
bad thoughts? Or a cat never approach the same person? A kind of bird which sound announces
misfortune? Nature perceive it.
Now, the second concept of energy. Energy is not good or bad. I can't define where good or bad come from but
energy directs our actions.
In one episode of
shaolin showdown, the master told the xiaolin warriors to try to steal a little pig made of crystal from him. They were four against the master. When the master knew that they were winning, he broke it. They became speechless. He told them an important lesson[from memory] : My focus was greater than yours, I was focusing on
not to lose while you guys were focusing on
winning.
I personally think that his energy was higher, that's what directed his actions from
I must win to
I must not to lose.
