Simply Ask - What Am I To Learn From This?

I have said often to you that you cannot truly make a wrong turn, and no one has ever made a wrong turn in their journey. How could this be possible in the Field of Pure Love that is God? And only Love is Real. You have merely allowed yourself - as God - to formulate shapes of experience merely to experience it. Every tear that you have cried, every loss that you have felt is yet only God choosing to have the experience. And you have remained eternally free in each moment to choose again. And indeed, you will choose again without end. For there is not a "time" that God will cease to be. For if God could cease to be, then God is not God, for there would need to be a field of energy in which non-being could exist. The Way of Mastery


Two things resonated with me today:

1. No one has even made a wrong turn on their Journey

2. Your resistance comes from believing in the sense of separation - that you are separate and different to others.


The statements above resonated now  as it is  a time when throughout the world there is so much tension, the BLM movement has been gaining momentum - and so it must. The call for the removal of statues of slave traders and formally labeled explorers. The innocent killing of black people and add on top of it all the Corona Virus.

Confessions on the Journey - I feel frustrated, I feel helpless, I feel annoyed. The feelings are directed at people who- to me- are unwilling to respect different views, who refuse to listen and who want to continue the status quo.

As I was feeling the feelings, getting curious about them, I noticed that I wanted people who had different opinions from me to listen, to empathise and to look at the world the way that I did - I waslooking outside of myself, rather than focusing on me and how I can respond to what is in front of me in a way that honours me and brings me peace.

I also felt some guilt on how I did respond to the people in my own circle who shared different views. I was triggered. Then reading that no one has made a wrong turn in their Journey rerouted me to ask the question to self: what am I learning here? What do I need to pay attention to here- about me?

Its simple to me now having asked myself the questions and become aware of what is happening around me that

1. If we look at each other as connected then how we respond will be radically shift. We would think about how would we want to to be treated in this same situation and do that

2. If we know whtat there is no wrong turn the time we take judging self can be used to learn the lesson and put it into practice


Peace

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

Image
  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
