The human condition is often challenging because of the presence of a reactive emotional level in all of us. It is hardly fair to ask ourselves to feel patience with everything that happens in our lives. It is, however, a powerful thing to be able to move ourselves to an energy of patience.
The energy of war is one of the most negative of all the energies. It is based in fear and feeds on judgment. Your world reflects to you how much war is going on now, and it is truly challenging to stay out of it. Your energy is precious and you do not want to waste it in word or deed on war. You can certainly use your energy to do the right thing, but be careful that you are doing the right thing in the right energy, the energy of love.
If we can avoid the trap of believing that we can control every situation and outcome in life, and give those situations and outcomes to the wisdom of the universe, then we can tell fear to leave.
We all want to be understood when we communicate. It is important to remember that communicating has both an expressive and a receptive function and that those functions are not operating the same way in everyone you meet. There are those who seem to understand what you say before you say it. Those people are a joy to know. There are others who seem to be incapable of understanding anything you say. They are a challenge.
If I really loved myself, what choice would I be making now? The more you ask this question, the stronger you become.
Your own voice is the voice you need to hear in order to grow from the center of yourself. If you are trying to grow listening to the voices you hear outside of you, you have chosen a painful path.
The power to change the world lies with you. When you see and hear anger and prejudice filling the media or even some of the people you know, it is important to resist going to war with the darkness.
Each of us must process loss in our own way, but we must also allow ourselves that knowledge that we are all part of a great creative source.
Fear based questions in and out of your head, inevitably lead you to the past or the future. You have no power in either of these locations. Your only power is in the present. It is easy to confuse looking for the lessons of the past with judging yourself for what you did not know or what you did not do.
The things in life that fill us and make us happy are the things of the heart. We live in a world that tells us what is important and what is not. Because the world is constructed on patriarchal values, the things of the heart are not considered to be important. There is nothing more important than listening to the wisdom of your heart and following that wisdom.
