Nodes continued

When reading the lessons on Empath Nodes it may start to feel as if the material is getting "technical" and complicated. This is due in part to the issue of teaching this material through long distance format as opposed to a direct "in-class" format. When teaching this material in person I have the opportunity to bring the Nodes 'alive" and illustrate many perspectives (p.o.v.s). When presenting in a distance learning program, I mainly emphasize the technical information so as to be sure that it is conveyed, trusting that a diligent student will work with the technical material enough to discover the vital, fascinating, and useful applications of the knowledge.

This sub-lesson is an attempt to illustrate the Nodes beyond the functional/technical aspects. Hopefully this discussion will bring the Nodes to life a little for you, spur discussion, and create a deeper interest.

First off, why refer to them as Nodes? I did a lot of research on this and waited for years before even using that term. There is a definite "intangibility" that needs to be captured with regard to empathic connections. It is the intangibles that escape us and make it harder for us to get a grip on the process and to convey to others what we are experiencing. Nodes could be called "connecting points" or "relationship dynamic intersections", etc. but none of that captures the full potential of Nodes. The word Node itself implies an intangible area/function, of sorts, that is being observed, measured, or identified. That is my oversimplification of nodes anyway.

For us, (Empaths), Nodes are the invisible points where our individual energy field (the EM field) intersects or comes in contact with that EM field of another (either face to face or remotely), activating the context or matrix Node itself. By being able to REFER to that point by giving it a name, Node, we gain an advantage as far as improving our ability to work with that experience from a greater level.

The very best explanation of an Empath node lies within a completely nonverbal presentation. The photo below explains what EM nodes are on an intuitive, metaphoric level (gamma):

There is beauty and simplicity in the interaction. You might say that's all we need to know. Well, that could be true. If it is then enjoy that fact. But I have found over a period of nearly 30 years of working on this, that by mapping out these interactions, I have discovered an incredible technology which exists within all of us. It is organized, it is a system (that I call "EM Field) that I have completely mapped out in the P.H.I. model. To make it sound less technical, we could refer to the P.H.I. model as the "Empath Map," because that is how it works for us. It is a complete map of the EM field and it's interactions. (EM paths). All of the intersecting circles in the image above are the "EM paths." If you take the time to learn about these interactions, by studying the Nodes, you will gain greater insight over your abilities and the empathic information you receive.

You are a living, breathing example of P.H.I., of the EM field. Use the metaphor of water to adjust to the understanding of the Empath map, for it is you - not just a diagram. You as an energy field (EM field) to include the energy around you (aura, electromagnetism, whatever you want to call it) are a moving pool of water. In literature and metaphysical thought, the element of water typically represents emotions. Empaths are creatures of this water - who live their lives inside deep pools of emotion. I've often wondered, does that make us "mer-creatures" on some level? Water elementals ? Intriguing thoughts!

When we approach someone, the ripples we create move out from us in the water. When those ripples intersect with another set of ripples, the lines intersect forming Nodes. The Nodes are the circles, which already exist as "potentials", for the circles appear anytime there is a disturbance in the water/energy. When someone approaches us, the ripples come first, intersecting with ours. The diagram of the Empath Map shows the "POTENTIAL" for all the possible Nodes that form.

I share this with you to give perspective on the Psychology of Energy lessons. It is the heart and soul of what we are studying here. Once we have analyzed all the Nodes and their relationships, we can begin to "play in the water" and see that we have so much more control and direction over our own experience, ESPECIALLY in relationships. I maintain that a true self-actualized Empath should be an expert in relationships, it would be the epitome of what Empath stands for. The majority of Empaths I have interacted with over the years have said that they have the most difficulty in relationships - but there are many reasons for this. If you are able to visualize and work with the Empath Map, the P.H.I., you will find that you can master navigation through any kind of interaction with any kind of person using Empathic Intelligence, with ease and grace. Again, these skills come later, I only mention this as a point of encouragement and as a guidepost to what you are studying.

None of this will make you superhuman or above anyone else. It will simply magnify your abilities and improve your skills, making you go from a beautiful pencil sitting in a box unsharpened that has the potential to write so much but isn't - to a finely sharpened pencil ready to write anything. Kind of a silly little analogy - but hey, it works. Empaths can write in water. ;)

So, as you study the Nodes keep this water and ripples image in mind. Let the lessons simplify themselves as you intuitively feel what the message is actually about. It is not as technical as it sounds, but the technical emphasis will bring you strength. Once the map is fully laid out, I will show you the many ways to use it. You can learn to send out specific ripples and you can learn to understand the ripples that are coming to you. After awhile, it becomes automatic, second nature, and really fun to work with.
