What is Negative Energy?

Sometimes we Lightworkers make a very critical mistake. We assume that the people we are surrounded with are also Lightworkers. We’d like to believe that our spouses, our family members, our friends, co-workers, and business partners are as aligned with Divine Light as we are.

A Lightworker is someone who is actively increasing the amount of Divine Light on our planet. A Lightworker is on a path of growth and expansion, of spiritual development and embracing their own Divinity. We may not be quite there yet – but we are actively striving for spiritual evolution. Most of us feel the need to assist others to do the same.

A negative Soul or Being, on the other hand, does the opposite. A negative Being will work to decrease the amount of Divine Light on the physical plane. A negative Soul will direct disruption against Divine Source itself.

Most people on our planet fall into neither category. They work with both energies without choosing one path or another. They work with a little Light when it makes them feel good. They work with a little Darkness if it gets them ahead in life. They perform amazing acts of kindness. Then they may lie or cheat. Overall, their resonance remains stagnant. Not much changes in their life, until they choose one path or the other.

Interestingly enough, Lightworkers attract either Lightworkers – or they attract negative Beings. To understand this phenomenon, we have to understand what negative or dark forces on our planet are all about.

Divine Source emits positive, creative vibrations such as Divine Light and Divine Love. As Lightworkers, these are the energies we thrive on. The energies of Divine Source are, of course, those that we need to evolve spiritually. They are the vibrations that will eventually lead us “home” – back to our Divine state.

However, we live in a Universe of free will. We can choose not to work with the energies emitted by Divine Source. The infinite generosity of Divine Source, the absolute reign of free will, leaves this door open to us. We can turn away from the energies that are supplied to us by God. Instead of evolution, we can choose de-evolution. We can choose to separate from God.

How is this possible? By working with negative energy! Negative or dark energy is really the absence of the positive energy emitted by Divine Source. That is what makes it “negative.” By its very definition, it diminishes, makes us less than before, takes away from us. It is destructive rather than creative. To illustrate this, think of an energy that we would consider negative, such as anger, or fear, or hatred. Anger is the absence of peace. Fear is the absence of love. Hatred is the absence of compassion.

How can the absence of something even be anything at all? It isn’t easy to understand. Think, however, of mathematics. We can as easily work with negative numbers that are less than zero as we can with positive numbers. Ask someone who has a negative bank balance, and they will tell you what a powerful force the absence of money is. Ask someone who has lost a loved one, and they will tell you how palpable the absence of that person is in their lives. The absence of something is still something. Energetically speaking, it is negativity.

If negative energy does not come from Divine Source, then where does it come from? Unfortunately, it is created by us. Negative Beings by definition cannot receive energy from Divine Source, right? They must be getting it from somewhere! Who has plenty of energy? The Lightworkers, of course. The people who fall between the two are working with both Light and dark energies and are effectively stuck in stagnation. The two energetic qualities are persistently canceling each other out in their lives, and so there is little energy left to interest negative forces.

We Lightworkers, on the other hand, are the ones who are actively connecting to Divine Source and receiving infinite energetic resources. And so, if negative influences can trick and deceive us into separation from Source, into buying the idea that we are somehow not Divine Beings, then we begin generating negative energy. We fall into fear, anger, hatred, shame, blame, or guilt. All of these energies are caused by the illusion of separation from our Divine identity. At the same time, we struggle against these energies, giving them our attention, and thus increasing their power.

Dark forces have done such an amazingly good job of this trickery and deception that these negative energies have become a “normal” parts of the human experiences. The question remains: Why? Why would any Being choose to separate from Divine Source, to work against Divine Creator?

The answer is simple: Power. Look around this world. Which forces are currently in power, the negative or the positive? Twenty minutes of watching the evening news will tell you the answer. Destructive forces prevail. Eventually, that destruction can reach Divine Source itself. Darkness will become the new Source. Our Creator has given us that much power – the power to destroy Divine Source itself through the gift of free will.

Now that I’ve thoroughly depressed you with all this gloom and doom, let’s look at the bright side! Yes, there IS a bright side! We are still here. We are still upholding Divine Light. And I happen to think that we are getting stronger. But as Lightworkers, it is time that we recognize negativity for what it is. It is the absence of Light. It has no power other than what we have given it. We’ve given it a lot of power in the past, sure. But we can change our mind in an instant. When we turn a bright light on in a pitch-dark room, the darkness has no choice but to turn into light. And as we turn our Divine Light on in the world, negativity has no choice but to flee.

Before we can shine our Light into the darkness, however, we must acknowledge that the darkness exists. We must actively disallow this darkness in our own life. Perhaps we can teach others to do the same. We must acknowledge that, in our reality, we have given negativity a great deal of power. We must now take responsibility for reclaiming that power.

In my next post, we’ll discuss how to become aware of the negative energies in our environment, and the people that work with them!
