There comes a time when those who have glimpsed the Universal Energy and felt it working inside them, lose faith in this Energy.
Remember it is a vital energy and at once fleeting. Do not lose too much hope that you will lose it for a long time, for you won’t.


Remember that once you have initiated the practice of gaining it’s attentiveness you can not turn back even if your ego tells you to. This Universal Energy is shrewd and intuitively you will notice it when you are seeking. At other times; although it is a vital life giving and scene changing Energy-- at the same time it is fleeting.


You can compare this to taking up a fist full of sand and then squeezing the sand tightly in your fist for as long as you are able— say a full 20 minutes.


Most of us refuse this action for the full 20 minute period. However, you can try this and then your experience will serve to solidly identify for you how fleeting this Universal Energy actually is. See—the sand represents how fleeting it is. The longer it is squeezed the more of it that falls away from your grasp!


True!


So at once it is Vital for all Spiritual Growing and Fleeting; you can not hold on to it with virtuosity or your ability to grasp at things tangible.




Gives credence to the euphemism— Easy Does It. Seemingly tangible and although visceral some people/ practitioners report, fleeting. Just when you think you got it— poof amigos-- it is Gone!
