I see a lot of talk about us & them. In a world of division, will you dare to be different!?
Whether it's spiritual vs. enlightened vs. religion vs. asleep, or light workers vs. dark, or political party vs. other party, men/women, my country/your country. Where is the love in all that?
How does it feel to be judged, labeled and put in a box? What you do to another, you're doing to yourself. The boxes you put others in are also holding parts of you hostage & the battle is only ever truly raging within your own body of consciousness. We've all been the judger & we've all been the one judged, so I say - first & foremost, have compassion for all involved. Acceptance for everyone feels great in your heart and your body. It's a great relief & improves your mental, emotional and physical health. Acceptance for everyone starts with you because you're number ONE!
Along the way from being a fighter to a lover, I worked with dozens of facilitators and teachers, as many of you have. I learned to discern whether they were just talking the talk, or embodying and living what they share. I learned to feel into "is this really of the heart or ego?". I'm always doing my best to be honest and transparent within myself because the parts created in fear like to hide behind stories, secrets, and one-sided view points. Ultimately, everything gets resolved from within. My ego has been impressively sneaky at times with justification for putting others down or making them wrong, so I watch for this because I know how pervasive it is. Let's face it, the world of spirituality is just as loaded with egos as religion, politics, philanthropy, business, etc. - there's no where on this planet that your discernment is not needed!
Discernment isn't about judging others, but being aware of how clear they are within themselves & the intent behind their words. It's about being clear with what you are aligning with energetically. Are others building their image or empire (or a group image or empire) by putting others beneath them? Is it all inclusive - for anyone with a beating heart and a willingness to come together? Do they create drama or help to diffuse it? Does the message help you rise above the mass collective division energy, or suck you into it? Simply put, it's either coming from fear or love.
Seeing and acting from wholeness:
When you're looking from the big picture, not trying to fortify one singular viewpoint or another, you can see how each energetic choice is affecting the person, their life, and the world. It's as simple as "Oh, okay, got it". No judgment. No drama. But you can see where each road leads. Then, what road do you choose?
If you see someone acting from judgment, you don't need to put them down, because you've been there too & you know they're having an internal battle. The biggest bullies and drama queens don't feel love inside, or they wouldn't be acting outward. Putting them down, battling, or even trying to "fix" them just feeds the cycle - they already feel judged rather than loved.
One of the biggest gifts you can give is to see them in their divine perfection, or true beingness. Ask them to present from their light realms & connect to the true self. You can't help but hold them in the highest of esteem as you feel/sense the source consciousness that exists beyond all the ups and downs, twists & turns, and chapters of form.
If you look closely, you can sense the hurt and fear behind someone's divisive actions and words. Just witnessing this with compassion illuminates them. Sending a breath of love is even better. It is a heartfelt acknowledgment that we are all human and life can be difficult. I have never walked a mile in anyone else's shoes, so I do my best to make no assumptions & go for simple, compassionate acceptance. If it's someone you're close to, maybe you want to approach them with an open heart and honest words, especially if it's affecting how you feel, but that's where seeing clearly comes in handy. You can tune in and ask for the best approach.
Always ask for what's in your highest good and the highest of all concerned - that is wholeness. I am, as you are. We are all unique facets of All That Is, so there's always a clear answer that benefits the whole. Sometimes the answer you get is a tough one to go with! It may mean dropping your drama when you're accustomed to playing there. Or, it may mean directly addressing something when your comfort zone is typically to hit the ignore button, to avoid or hide. It may be to step back, to resist the temptation to jump in control situations if you have that tendency. Or, it may be to step in and share your viewpoint when it scares the heck out of you, but it would benefit yourself and others to finally speak openly. The best approach is unique to each person and situation - this is why I always ask for clarity from my higher consciousness when in doubt! "Help me to love and not to judge! Show me what's best in this situation."
Acceptance doesn't mean that you allow people to treat you poorly or energetically drain you. It doesn't mean endlessly saying "yes" to things you don't enjoy, for that creates an internal battle. It may be that you decide to speak truthfully and if things don't align, you send love and carry on with your life. Sometimes compassion comes through as walking a different direction because you are choosing your own joy, health, and zest for life above all else. Each person is responsible for their own state of being. This opens up your world for more joy to flow through.
From the eyes of unconditional love, you can see through the spectrum of colorful energies and behaviors. Eyes wide open, no flinching, no making anything right/wrong. You can hold a space of presence for people spiraling because you aren't getting twisted up in it. You can offer a hand up & out, but you're not imposing that hand or attached to the outcome. It's given as freely as offering someone a drink of water. Whether they drink or not is not is up to them. You don't take responsibility for others' emotional states, just your own.
From this viewpoint, you can decide with clarity to put your energy into this or that. You can flow through situations letting them be what they are. If there's a current problem, address it and move on. No emotional roller coaster ride. If there's an opportunity that calls to you, move that direction, no mental shenanigans about what ifs, or this or that. You can look at everything in your world and determine - does it inspire, motivate, align, unite, empower, support? How does it FEEL in your heart, your body? How would it affect the whole? Is it joyful? Awesome!
And here we go from us & them to WHOLENESS. In a world of division, dare to be different! Sending love to you all - Namaste
