How to Command Energy in a World Built to Steal It

Let me tell you something most folks never get the chance to hear. The most powerful people on this planet aren’t the ones stuffing cash in offshore accounts or playing puppet-master from some high-rise tower. Nope. The true powerhouses are the ones who can focus, hold a thought steady, and influence the world with nothing more than an idea, a phrase, or a picture that lights a fire in others. These are the ones who’ve learned the real game: energy mastery.

Your thoughts? They’re not just idle fluff bouncing around your skull. They’re electromagnetic broadcasts. Your feelings? They’re biochemical messages riding your bloodstream like couriers. Your actions? Energy in motion. Electricity made flesh. Every part of you is a frequency generator, and the clearer your signal, the bigger your ripple out into the world.

Now, here’s where the trouble comes in.

We live in a world infested with energy parasites. Not the kind you squish under your boot or flush down the drain. These are subtle, sneaky, and designed to look normal, even necessary. But make no mistake, they are robbing you blind.

You’ve Been Drained, and You Didn’t Even Know It

There are the obvious energy drains:

• Working too much
• Poor sleep
• Fake food
• Toxic people with drama thicker than a cowpie in July

But the really dangerous ones are hidden in plain sight.

You ever notice how exhausted you feel after scrolling your feed for 20 minutes? That’s not by accident. Your energy is being harvested. Social media algorithms are tuned like predatory sonar, zeroing in on your outrage, your fear, your envy. The more reactive you are, the more energy they siphon. And don’t even get me started on the junk food, pharma meds, and late-night news blather. All of it is designed to keep you vibrating low, foggy-brained, and susceptible to manipulation.

Then there are the psychic parasites. You know the ones.
Those folks who show up all needy and emotional, spin you up with some tale of woe, and leave you feeling like you just ran a marathon uphill with a backpack full of rocks. They feed on your empathy, your attention, and your willingness to participate in their loop. And trust me, they love a good legacy track of misery.

The worst part? Most of us think it’s normal.

• We think exhaustion is noble.
• We think busyness equals success.
• We think staying “informed” means being glued to a machine that feeds us fear 24/7.
• And we wonder why we’re flatlined, spiritually, creatively, physically.

Energy Mastery Is the Real Revolution

When you reclaim your energy, you become dangerous — in a good way.

• Dangerous to the status quo.
• Dangerous to the systems that rely on your fatigue and confusion.
• Dangerous to the parasites that can no longer find a seat at your table.

Mastery of energy is not just for monks on mountaintops or folks wearing crystal pendants. Although I’ve got a few of those myself. This is for anyone who wants to live fully awake: artists, builders, healers, entrepreneurs, dreamers, spiritual warriors.

You start by noticing.

• Where does your energy go?
• Who or what gets your focus, your attention, your emotions?
• What drains you?
• What charges you up?

This is your ledger. Keep track.

Then you choose differently.

• Turn off the noise.
• Say “no” to vampires.
• Eat clean.
• Breathe deep.
• Ground into the earth.
• Create something every day, even if it only for fun.
• Pray, sing, dance, cry. But let it be yours, not someone else’s script.

The world does not need more tired people. We’ve got plenty.
The world needs you; alive, aware, unhooked from the machine, and lit up with the kind of purpose that sends shivers through the grid.

And if you’ve forgotten what that feels like, to be fully charged, I mean, don’t worry. It’s still in you. It’s always been in you. Just gotta stop giving it away to things that never deserved it in the first place.

Pull your energy back. Every watt. Every volt. Every spark. Then aim it like a laser beam.

Now you’re working with power like we are.
