As a person becomes more and more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions, they also become more aware of how they are using their energy.  It is important to remember that energy follows the rules of physics, including inertia.  Once energy is set into motion, it remains in motion.  Most people are familiar with the cliché "What goes around comes around"; however, most individuals don't look at the actual physics backing this statement.  This statement is a reflection of the law of creation and inertia.  People often think of the laws pertaining to energy as limited to purely physical things and not thoughts.  However, thought produces energy and is thereby subject to the same rules.  Thought sets energy into motion.  The momentum of this power can work for whatever type of energy is placed in motion.  For example, if love is put into motion then the energy of love keeps moving forward.  If fear is put into motion than fear energy keeps going forward.  Remember also, that the very nature of energy is to attract more energy to it.  So not only does energy move forward, but it increases in size and speed.

     Once energy is put into the world, once it is created, it can only be changed and not stopped.  If someone creates an energy path by verbal attack and the momentum of the attacking energy gets picked up and the verbal assault is returned then change has not occurred.  When I meet yelling with yelling, a larger ball of angry energy exists in the world.  And if I then leave the situation and angrily complain to anyone who will listen, or kick the dog, or slam the door, I have only increased the energy.  This ball of power continues to get bigger and faster.  If however, I meet an aggressive verbal assault with a different form of energy, like gratitude, I change or shift the energy form.  If someone yells at me and my response is "Thank you for your input" then the momentum and form of the energy shifts.  The metaphor shifts.  Change occurs.
