So… what appliances are connected in your house? Do you have an appliance in there that is drawing too much power or is it that you have too many items working at the same time?

 

I live in a house like this, every time we have the air conditioner running and turn on the toaster, and just the few extra amps trips the breakers and the power shuts down in the whole house. I also have this problem when my appliance of anxiety is running and I try to turn on my appliance of love, the whole power grid of my soul shuts down.

 

So what appliances are running in your soul? One of the biggest consumers of energy is hatred. Do you have a hatred of someone, or of a specific people group that is drawing so much energy from your soul that you can’t do any thing else? The symptoms of hate are condemnation of the person, group, race, or political party.

 

Have you ever ran into people who all they do is blame the government for all the problems in the world? They have such a power drain on their system that they cannot be a light to the world, because every time they turn on the lights in their house their power shuts down. So, they can’t see, can’t have anyone inside their soul or house to have intimate relationship with. They can’t see that there is stuff lying around in their soul, which they keep stubbing their toes on. This really upsets them and then they blame the government for it, because that is their appliance that is running. Yet, if they would release their hate, then they might be able to turn on their interior light and see the stuff in their own souls, and we who are in relationship with them would also quit stubbing our toes on their stuff. The criticalness of hatred can be very draining to the soul!

 

That is just an example of someone else, but what is running in the background in your soul? Is it fear? The symptoms of fear are worry and anxiety.

 

Is it pride? You condemn others for their faults, and yet you don’t see that you have dark areas in your life. If you say you have no dark areas then you do not truly, or have never truly, seen the incredible purity of love. The symptoms of this you can see, if you watch your thoughts and just count how many times the words “I” and ‘Me’ comes up in your thoughts.

 

‘I don’t deserve this!’

‘I need this from you.’

‘I can’t handle this.’

‘How dare they treat me like this!’

‘I should have gotten that promotion.’

‘Why is this always happening to me?’

 

 

So, what appliances are running in your soul?

 

There are too many draining appliances to list here in this short article. But, how will you ever have light in your soul if your circuits keep overloading and your breakers keep tripping? And if the light inside the house is not able to be turned on, how in the world will you ever be able to turn on the warm greeting lights outside your house, so that you become the light and the love for the world, that your soul was created to be?

 

We see those who have by passed this circuit breaker. They are drawing so much power and instead of dealing with the problem in their soul they keep resetting the breaker and finally it arcs and shorts out. About these people we say they suffer burnout. Their soul overloads and it causes a fire in their house. Those who continue, have breakdowns and none of their appliances functionally work anymore, and we send then to quiet places of rest; Mental Institutions. Not all who are institutionalized are from this cause. It is those who were doing well, and kept pushing, who may be the result of this overload.

 

 

Let’s say your soul has a 20 amp circuit. This is all the power you can draw on at one time. Now the questions are; how many amps is each of your emotions and actions drawing? And then after that question, what would actually be the best uses for the amount of amps you are allotted?

 

 

For we as humans are truly wired; we run on electricity. Yet, we can only run so many appliances without tripping our breakers. So, will you, for the sake of this hurting and dying world, get rid of your anger, hatred, warring, pride, contempt, disdain, shame, and pain so that you can bring love, hope, peace, healing, and joy? Are hatred, pride, lust, and pain so valuable, honorable, profitable, and soul fulfilling that they are worth keeping in your soul?
