Don’t Match Dark Energy—Stay in Agape Love Consciousness

Christopher J. Miller Season 5 Episode 152

In this heartfelt episode, CJMiller shares a personal story about teaching his son to drive—and the spiritual metaphor that unfolded along the way. 

While navigating Central Expressway, a car sped by, weaving in and out of traffic. Instead of reacting, CJ pulled aside and let it pass. It became the perfect teaching moment: when someone operates from chaotic or aggressive energy, you don’t have to match it. Let them meet their own energy. 

This story expands into a larger reflection on life. As CJ explains to his son, everything operates on a spiritual level. The consciousness of a reckless driver will eventually attract a similar consciousness. Our job is to hold steady—to stay centered in love. When we react, retaliate, or try to “win,” we step away from our love base. 

Drawing inspiration from Abraham-Hicks and the concept of staying in the “vortex,” CJ explores the challenge of maintaining spiritual alignment in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, outrage, and distraction. Whether it's doomscrolling on social media, toxic conversations, or drama-driven entertainment, we’re being called to a higher practice: holding the vibration of Love. 

Be the broader Love. This isn’t romantic love—it’s the universal Love that ancient cultures and spiritual traditions have named again and again. The Greeks called it Agape. In Buddhism, it's Mettā—loving-kindness. In Hinduism, Bhakti. In Catholic mysticism, Caritas. In New Thought, it is the Creative Intelligence behind all form—Love as a force that moves through everything and asks for nothing in return. 

CJ shares how he's begun pulling back from negative media and limiting his exposure to people who feed off fear and anger—not out of judgment, but to protect and nurture his own vibration. He encourages you to do the same: gently guide conversations back toward light, or walk away when necessary. 

We’re often taught that we have to fix the problems we see. But sometimes, the highest form of action is demonstration. Be the lighthouse. Engage in passive resistance. Send money to organizations you believe in. Set intentions, offer prayers, donate to the disadvantaged. Staying in Love Consciousness is enough. Don’t push against—go toward Agape Love. 

This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder: we don’t fix the world by sinking to its level. We change it by holding our ground in Love, and letting others rise to meet us there—when they’re ready.
