Resonance
XVIII — The Power of Emotion
In order to access the realm of resonant change and vibration through our beings, it is necessary to study the power of emotion. Emotions are images of the past coming to call upon our conscience without ceremony or introduction. Throughout life, we accumulate experience, and this leads, in turn, to memories, which are small packets of energy stored deep within the very fabric of our beings.
The power of emotion is a wonderful creation of nature; it is a guidance mechanism that responds to the vicissitudes of life and almost supernaturally takes over our being and leads us to the most beneficial path of our journey. But this may not always be the case, since if we are aligned with the most negative aspects of life and thought, our emotions will become too, and they will seek the most negative aspects of life waiting to be attracted, and this vicious cycle of doom must be broken. Understand the root and cause of emotional arousal is a necessity that must be observed and learnt at the most fundamental and subatomic level for us to have any chance of controlling our life's unfolding pattern.
To understand emotion, we have to understand energy and not just energy, but resonant energy. When you wake in the morning, and you look in the mirror and the reflection is you, but the reflection is a mass of energy continuously moving and evolving to deal with the mortal existence you experience. Even when you look at the smallest molecules of hair which are you, they are still infinitesimally small masses of energy vibrating in the present world in which we live. We are creations of the purest energy given a wonderful chance to fill this great, vast and infinite Universe of life. In the word emotion, there is motion, a travelling through time and space in a given moment of creation. Every morning when we are woken from night's slumber; when our consciousness is stirred for the action of the day, it is important that we feel within the very essence of our beings and soul that life is abundant all around us; it is all before us at the start of the day, and we only have to reach out with the vibrations of our body to have any part of it. Our conscious mind is the mind of choice with which to direct our subconscious desires. Consciousness is the link and light to our deepest selves. Because our conscious mind is rational and lives in the day to day drama, it is unable to orchestrate the deeper laws of attraction; only our subconscious mind can achieve this. The subconscious part of us is in touch with the deepest vibrations of the Universe. Everything our conscious mind sees, hears, and understands, it gives to the subconscious mind.
Life can be very unpredictable, and what appears to be going well in life one day, can, on another day, collapse all around us. It is as though life wishes to thwart your expectations.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
