THE FAITH OF ENERGY
There comes a point in life
where bruises begin to teach more than blessings.
A point where human nature and human nurture
life’s most mischievous tag-team
have both taken turns tightening your spirit like a rope.
And in that tightening, in that quiet tension,
something inside you shifts.
Your eyes change.
You stop seeing people as the labels they are quick to announce:
Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Traditionalist, Atheist
the whole wardrobe of identities people drape over their shoulders
to appear taller, gentler, holier, kinder
than they actually are.
Life hands you a lens far sharper than religion.
It shows you the soul beneath the costume.
You begin to understand that a title
isn’t a mirror to a person’s truth.
That piety can be performed.
That goodness can be faked.
That morality can be worn like makeup
and washed off when no one is looking.
From that moment on,
your faith evolves into something deeper,
more primal,
more honest:
Energy for energy.
Not revenge.
Not bitterness.
Just spiritual arithmetic.
You give me who you are,
and I give you a reflection of the same.
You come to me with sincerity?
You unlock my sincerity.
You approach with malice?
My silence becomes your boundary.
You show consistency?
You earn access.
You show duplicity?
My distance becomes your mirror.
The equation becomes simple:
I treat you based on your essence, not your emblem.
Your actions, not your announcements.
Your energy, not your religion.
Because when life has unfolded its lessons,
when betrayal has taken its seat in your memory,
when people have proven that holiness is sometimes a cloak
a cloak worn to disguise wounds, flaws, or intentions
you begin to see clearly:
Character is the only true faith.
Energy is the only true language.
Consistency is the only true prayer.
At this stage, you stop expecting halos from humans.
You stop assuming goodness is guaranteed by doctrine.
You abandon the fantasy that belief equals virtue.
And you start measuring people
by the vibration they bring into your space —
the energy they radiate
without effort, without performance, without witnesses.
This is not cynicism.
This is awakening.
A gentle but firm graduation
into a wiser way of perceiving the world.
And from that moment,
you live by a truth that no scripture can challenge:
“You are to me what your energy proves you to be.”
Not your prayers.
Not your proclamations.
Not the color of the cloak covering your intentions.
Only the raw, unfiltered reality of who you truly are
when all masks fall away.
Energy for energy.
Truth for truth.
Essence for essence.
