A client asks: “So with this analogy, meddlers are more after a chunk of marble than a bucket of sand. It’s not just energy they’re after, but highly integrated energy or consciousness?

Indeed, it is the energy of consciousness they seek. That is the frequency they need to maintain their integrity. The body energy is of no use to them. It is very much apples and oranges. It is not a question of degree in a property like the term “integration” implies that distinguishes the two types of energy. They are simply different in their quality and characteristics, so they are not interchangeable. They have different purposes. They have different end targets to serve. So they cannot be considered as extensions of one another or belonging even to a close-knit family. They are different altogether and have differing roles and ways of functioning. It is simply that the terminology is lacking in your language as well as the deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved that lead to the desire for simple analogies to gain a better grasp of things. In this case we find the analogy falling short.
