Energy, Bob

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is from the movie Phenomenom, the 1996 movie starring John Travolta.  Simpleton George Malley begins to demonstrate extraordinary abilities and intelligence which eventually come under the scrutiny of the US Government.  He is sequestered and taken for study, where his examiner, Dr. Bob Niedorf (played by Brent Spiner) is consistently flummoxed by George’s astonishing yet unpretentious demonstrations of super power.  Nearing the end of the examination, George absently rolls a pencil back and forth across the examination table without the aid of touching it.  Amazed, Dr. Niedorf asks incredulously how George makes the pencil move without touching it.  George explains it as a partnership, to which Dr. Niedorf inquires “A partnership?  With a pencil?”  George replies “Energy, Bob.”

So much is available to us in the Universe that remains untapped and unused because we simply will not open our minds to allow it.  How many times have we seen the effects of energy around us, yet we are so resistant to accepting it exists, not to mention having the ability to harness and utilize it?  Energy is the fundamental core of Reiki healing, and the transference and direction of life energy can be of enormous benefit to both body and soul.  Energy, Bob.

This simple movie made 20 years ago is full of messages of inspiration and is so revealing of the depths of our potential.  I was moved by Phenomenon when I first saw it, and anyone who knows me well is aware I have watched it hundreds of times since.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend giving it a look.  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll see the tip of the iceberg of what is available to you if you only believe.  NAMASTE!
