Not all springs bounce

However subtle or hard we try to retain the energy / force that is not rightfully earned, it ends up being spent for a cause unknown and for results that meticulously match the karma! At the end we cease our efforts realizing that we couldn't achieve anything by outsourcing for extra help and more importantly  fret about the time it would have taken us to realize this.

Thinking along these lines is when I thought about the process of blessings. If a blessing could carry and retain the energy, why not medicative thoughts? In circumstances when both are equally invoked which would be more potent? The earlier question indirectly brings us to a tricky question on what actually determines the potency of a blessing - the density of the invocation or the source of the blessing? (This reminds me of a story 'Three Hermits' by Leo Tolstoy1)

To contemplate more on this, we need to identify the underlying fact of how energy operates. Which when summed up in one single sentence based on Choa Kok Sui would be:  
"Energy follows thought" 
Which sentence I understand to be an exact English translation of the crux of the teachings of so many Yoga systems.

If energy actually follows thought, it magnifies our first question of why is there a difference between blessing and healing? Aren't both a by-product of thoughts?

When heaps of such questions started to mask my mind, I decided to inquire the following to begin with:
> What is energy
> What is the medium and process used to transfer energy
> What is the medium and process used to store it
> If energy could be stored somewhere, why can't we have permenant reservoirs for the benefit of community at large
And the rest forms this blog :)

1. A beautiful synopsis of the story is told in Autobiography of a Yogi: http://books.google.co.in/books?id=xsIi4ePN4hYC&lpg=PA264&ots=OLuRKabDZA&dq=autobiography%20of%20a%20yogi%20%2B%20three%20hermits&pg=PA264#v=onepage&q&f=false
