Why EnergyBreakthrough!?

Love makes the world go round!

Well, maybe! But, then energy makes everything else go round! It is in all the feet that walk, hands that clap and wheels that turn! It is in all smiles and all the tears of our nation. It is in the water that runs, the sun that shines - the cold of winter, the heat of summer. It is the music and the silence. We say that we feel it but what is it? Where does it come from and where does it go? What is this thing that drives our lives and shapes our world?

To perceive it we need it. It is neither created nor destroyed. Everything it touches is changed. If we have it we thrive and then in thriving we are touched by the cold grey shadow of waste and need creeping closer. Energy, like a wild untamed horse carries us forward - an exhilarating ride into the unknown, a cold hard place that closes round. We must feed our horse and understand it well if we are to ride further.

Of course, we don’t ride horses much anymore! In latter years we’ve swapped the pulse of flesh and blood for the rumbling heartbeat of iron and oil. In our days we can travel a hundred miles before lunch time, erect a thousand skyscrapers before our middle years and fight ten thousand wars before we age and grow wise.

Is it that our world goes round more slowly?

We need an EnergyBreakthrough! Not just more of the same! A breakthrough! A real transformation! Something that puts us in touch with energy - that helps us understand it, feel it, tame it, live with it!

A breakthrough that lasts, sustains, renews! That eases today and builds for tomorrow. A breakthrough that empowers, pacifies and nourishes. A breakthrough that our children will live with and love us more for it. We must become seekers of this breakthrough. It is elusive - difficult to find and hard to catch.

Join us as we hunt for an EnergyBreakthrough!
