Punishment Energy Attachment to invalidation, alienation, & harm Everyone has their own quantity and quality of punishment energy.  It's the first, most obvious energy field a psychic reader/healer encounters in the aura.   It's yicky, sewage-y, olive/brown/gray, sort of greasy and looks visually like a nasty storm - but without the vitality of a storm.  It is that dark cloud you know all about sitting on the horizon... Ill people - especially addicts - usually have a lot of it. Moving punishment energy out of one's space is a priority for health, but the person must want to/be ready to do it.  One cannot get started in the clean-up if one is clinging overly to ego attachment.  If the native is too invested in the anger/frustration/invalidation cycle, subconscious desperate clinging will prevent release.  And there has to be replacement energy available to surge in immediately after the release.  Often, such a sophisticated and elaborate network of ego-responses to the punishment energy has developed over time, that the person's entire identity seems to depend on staying connected to the punishers (who dole out the guilt & grief).  The elaborate ego-protective mechanism for surviving the punishments so dominates the field of awareness that one is unable to see the possibility of breaking away from the punishers.  Their reality - their necessity - is unquestioned; the survival instinct rules; all resources go into developing more and better ego-responses to the pain. But at some point the karma of bondage to ignorance reduces through compassionate actions, and as a result the field of awareness will slightly expand.  An objective view emerges.  The connection between the punishment energy, its agents, and the patterned ego-responses it invokes becomes fairly obvious, and the person is motivated to break the chain.  Or, as the psychics say, one tires of "being the result of someone else's energy" and wants to create a more self-directed path. But anyway.  This is what stuck energy is all about, allowing oneself to become the result of things forgetting that one is a participant-creator of things.   Luckily it's easy to fix and a few heartfelt moments spent in deep, intentional meditation will usually bring along the replacement energy!   Sometimes people mistakenly look on vows and pledges as if these were a type of punishment, but this is not at all the case.  For example, just as we follow certain methods of eating and drinking to improve our health and certainly not to punish ourselves, so the rules the Shakymuni Buddha formulated are for controlling counter-productive ill-deeds and ultimately for overcoming afflictive emotions, because these are self-ruinous.  Thus, to relieve oneself from suffering, one controls the motivations and deeds producing suffering for one's own sake.  Realizing from his own experience that suffering stems from one's own afflictive emotions as well as actions contaminated with them, he sets forth styles of behavior to reduce the problem for our own profit, certainly not to give us a hard time.  Hence, these rules are for the sake of controlling sources of harm. ~~ Dzong-ka-ba & H.H.
