Creation and Destruction—The Energy of Kali
August 27th, 2008
In my post about the Three Primary Types of Energy, I discuss the psychic, heart and sexual/creative energies that flow from the body. Here, I want to take a deeper look at the sexual/creative energy and explore the positive and negative aspects of it.
Kali, the Hindu goddess from India represents the natural forces of creation and destruction in the universe. In a whole state, destruction and creation go hand in hand. Nothing is created without something else being destroyed first. Ignorance is destroyed, for example, when knowledge is created. What creates wholeness is creation/destruction in right timing and in the vibration of love.
This universal cycle of destruction and creation is natural and whole until it steps down to planet Earth. Because of free will and choice that exists on this planet, Earth species can take any of the natural laws of the universe and distort them. The one species that does this regularly is humans.
In my private practice I work with the energetic nature of my clients. Because the energy self holds the subconscious forces where all that is rejected, disowned or not integrated is placed, the energetic nature can end up at odds with conscious awareness. One of my primary tasks in a session is to ensure that the energy self and consciousness are on the same page, so to speak, creating harmony in balanced growth and optimally in the vibration of love.
There are several energetic situations that are extremely difficult to heal. One is sexual abuse at an early age. A second is a suicide in the family and the third is when the sexual/creative energy loses its harmony with natural laws and becomes a “rogue” energy. The first two situations mostly need time to heal completely. The third, however, is extremely difficult to heal because it involves an element of free will and choice. Before I explain this further, let me explain what happens when the creation/destruction energies become “rogue.”
Creation and its eternal companion, destruction, are aspects of the Divine Feminine. Both men and women hold the energy of the Divine Feminine but women, and those men who identify more strongly with the Divine Feminine, are more prone to distort creation energies in their energy self. When this occurs the sexual/creative energy stream becomes extremely toxic. “Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned,” is a proverb written in the late 17th century by William Congreve. It refers, of course, to a woman scorned in love. This actually provides the key to understanding what makes creative energies become rogue instead of natural…hatred. A person scorned in love who becomes consumed with hatred will either self-destruct (creative energy turned on itself) or destroy all that is around them. The biblical description of the “end times” or apocalypse is the perfect description of creative energies that have become destroying. These are energies fueled by hatred not love.
If you have ever been been at the receiving end of a person spewing hatred via the sexual/creative energies, you have my sympathy. Like certain kinds of acid, this energy chemically burns all in its path without discrimination. You have ever been a person who has done this to others, you have my compassion. Although it is uncomfortable being on the receiving end of that energy, the remedy is simple…remove yourself from the vicinity of the individual. The one who is venting the stream of creative energy in rage and hatred, however, is more trapped in a living hell than ever we could imagine. Unchecked, this corrosive energy will consume the person completely, destroying his/her health and leading to a complete break down of their life. The negative karma it creates is tremendous.
There was a time in my life when my body hurt all the time. It seemed to be bone level deep. I meditated on this to see if I could get to the cause level. I was shocked to discover that it was the feeling of hatred that I was holding toward certain individuals in my life. I did not perceive myself as a person who hated others and thought I was more enlightened than that. I chose in that moment to let the hatred go and my body instantly released it’s deep level of pain.
Until the person who is expressing creative energies in the vibration of hatred, chooses to release this stance, there can be no healing in the situation. Hatred and its many forms of disgust, repulsion, rejection, and dislike, is a choice. “A woman scorned” is choosing to perceive herself as scorned. Change the perception, change the response.
I believe that the cause of all war on this planet originated from one person who hated so mightily, she moved countries to go to war. The power of rogue creative energies to continue to destroy in hatred goes on for a long time. What if, all the wars on the planet today are caused by this one woman in the past who hated so mightily she changed the course of the evolution of the human race? What would it take to shift this woman into a new stance? What could we do to encourage her to choose love over hatred?
In the past, my only answer would be to wait it out, akin to loving it until its ready to change. At some point, I used to think, the energy of hatred can no longer sustain itself and it dies out. Now, I believe that is incorrect and that we need a new way to bring those who have fallen into the patterns of destruction and hatred forward into love and light.
I think the key has to do with time, specifically realigning to right timing, i.e. natural timing. In that the collective consciousness is infinitely more intelligent than the consciousness of one, I invite the answer to come to us all.
When the answer comes to you, share your wisdom and include what you stand for. Do you stand for love or hatred? Peace or war? Enhancing life or destroying life?
(Note: click on the word “comments” and you’ll find a place to leave your wisdom and what you stand for.)

thank you for this post! WOW! i sent it to everyone i know. It explains so much of the internal struggles that i see us (humans) going through - we create our own hell on earth. Having been on the receiving end of destruction, it makes me wonder what i have “dished out.” And i am looking so i can ask to heal those places and relationships.
Also, i just want to thank you so much for speaking from your heart and sharing your own personal experiences - you are an inspiration and a wonderful guide for our healing!

I can’t say that I totally understand mentally what I am about to write here, but there is something about standing in the center, in the vesica pisces, that helps one perceive the situation you write about, gia. Not choosing either love or hate, for standing in the center, ‘life is’ and has no polarity. And we are part of nature, so that what to us is war is on some other scale, the eruption of a volcano, the rending of the ground from an earthquake, lightning splitting a tree and causing a forest fire that goes on for months.
If you look at how Abraham speaks about war through the writings of Esther Hicks, people are perceived as gaining some sort of satisfaction from being at war. They feel more “alive” than they have ever felt. As I have no understanding of why anyone would want war, this explanation helps me gain some comprehension. If I am to believe in a beneficent universe then I cannot believe that one person hated so much as to cause all war, and I especially can not believe that war arose out of a woman scorned.

I see destruction as inherently part of creation. In order to create a beautiful painting the first step destroys a fine clean canvas. Those first strokes of paint do not yet create the beautiful painting but may indeed make rather a mess of the canvas. The process continues until the new creation is birthed.
Gia was discussing the distortion of this natural process by focusing it with hatred. Melanie, you may have missed the paragraph where Gia says men and women both have the Divine Feminine within, and that both sexes can use it with hatred.
Nowhere did she say one woman scorned causes all war. Instead, the woman scorned quote underscores the toxic power of using sexual/creative energies with hatred. This indeed does create war. And we all have the free choice of love or hatred on this planet.
A volcano may be simply part of the creative processes of the planet and have nothing to do with war. If the planet uses volcanic eruption to balance aberrant human emotion, then it might have something to do with war, but still would not be war itself.
