Let me lay it out plain: The most powerful folks walking this planet right now aren’t the ones sitting on stacks of money. That kind of wealth is child’s play compared to real power. I’m talking about the ones who can command attention, their own, and the attention of others. You ever notice how one person with a clear, focused message can shake the world? That’s not magic, that’s energetic mastery.
I’ve lived long enough, worked machines, built systems, healed bodies, studied nature, and stared deep into the soul of this mess we call modern society, to tell you this: Everything is energy.
Your thoughts? Electromagnetic.
Your feelings? Biochemical.
Your actions? Kinetic energy patterns flowing through your meat suit and out into the ether.
When those pieces line up, when your thoughts, emotions, and actions are in coherence, you become a force of nature. Unstoppable. That’s when you start making things happen, instead of just reacting to what’s already happening.
Leaks in the Tank
But most folks I meet? They’re running on fumes. Tired. Anxious. Distracted. That’s not by accident, it’s by design. You’re being bled dry by invisible thieves.
Let’s talk about energy drains. Some are easy to spot:
- Overwork
- Toxic relationships
- Processed food that’s as dead as a doornail and laced with slow poison to increase shelf life
- Poor sleep because you’re hopped up on stimulants and screen light
But the sneaky ones? They’re buried deep:
- Old emotional wounds
- Hidden fears you haven’t faced
- Thought loops running quietly in the background like bad software that takes you nowhere.
Back in the day, there was this song, “Mairzy Doats”, pure earworm nonsense that just looped endlessly in your head. That’s what unexamined thought loops do. They sound harmless, even playful, but they hijack your attention without offering anything useful in return. Sounds like nonsense, but if you slow it down and examine it, what you’re saying is, “Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?” A total waste of time, but it would just get stuck in there.
Then there’s the real kicker: energy parasites.
These are everywhere now. They hitch a ride on your phone, your newsfeed, your refrigerator, your prescription bottle. They feed off your life force, not by biting your neck, but by keeping your mind scattered and your soul dull.
Parasites in the Flesh and Beyond
I’m not just talking about chemical and digital garbage. I’m also talking about psychic parasites. You know the ones. People who walk into the room and suck all the oxygen out of it. You hang out with them for 10 minutes and feel like you’ve just run a marathon in a sandstorm. They don’t want solutions. They want your attention, your empathy, your engagement, and if you’re not careful, they’ll drain you dry while smiling the whole time.
It’s time to wake up. Most of what you’re being fed, whether it’s media, food, entertainment, education, or meds, is built to numb your awareness and keep you running in circles.
They tell you:
“You need this to be safe.”
“You have to keep up or you’ll be left behind.”
“Success means being busy all the time.”
It’s all a trap. A loop. A treadmill made of wires, glass, and mirrors. Meanwhile, your real power, your awareness, your vitality, your creative life force, is leaking out into the hands of systems that see you as a statistic, not a soul. You’re not broken, just misdirected, and they profit from keeping it that way. We don’t owe them a thing.
Taking Your Power Back
Now here’s the good news. You’re not a victim of this unless you decide to be. Once you see the pattern, you can step out of it.
Start small:
- Sit quietly and reclaim your mind.
- Put your bare feet on the ground and feel the earth.
- Choose what enters your field. Your food, your thoughts, your companions, your media diet.
Because here’s the truth I live by:
The most potent force on Earth is a fully awake human being who has mastery over their own energy and sees the traps.
When you’re clear, focused, and aligned with your deeper purpose, you radiate coherence. You become magnetic. Your presence starts shaping the environment around you, not the other way around. The ones who master this, who command their energy and focus like a laser, those are the folks who really walk with power.. You become magnetic. Your presence starts shaping the environment around you, not the other way around.
This world doesn’t need more hustle. It needs high-frequency people. It needs folks who have unplugged from the lie and stepped into the truth of their own divine spark. Folks who have the guts to say, “I choose where my energy goes, and I am making this place better just by being awake.”
That’s not just rebellion. That’s revolution.
Stay sharp. Stay sovereign.
