Life here
on Earth can seem frenetic and chaotic with the masses running about working
out their life lessons not realizing it’s all about shaping our psychology away
from the ego and back to a place deep within the spirit that always remains at
peace. Tapping into that amidst the chaotic swirl of our normal human
activity finds you retrieving your own well of love and peace that truly is in
a never-ending supply, if you choose that. But, there is a catch or well,
rather, a trick to fully comprehending its beautiful existence. That is,
simply, adjusting your thoughts and setting your intent to be open to it.
As we have
touched on much throughout this work, there are those souls in this world so
twisted, torn and damaged from pain and assumptions on the inside that they
seem to go on and on for hours and days and years even with no clue that the
love they seek and the peace they most desire is right inside of them.
Instead they flock to anything light with the sole intent of possession or
obsession in the negative, which ultimately serves only to destroy - no, not
the object of their misguided affection but themselves. We hold the
tools, the keys and the power to heal if only we would understand it is a
choice.
In every
moment and in every design of human interaction we may choose the darkness or
the light. It may be only precious few seconds or a fraction thereof but
still, there is a choice involved. If
you see nothing of this world but victims and villains and a terrifying or
terrible world that you are charged or so-punished to live within, it will be
hard for you to see but you have chosen fear and darkness.
It is
understandable. It happens to the best of us a time or two or even
three. However, no one can save us but ourselves. The Source of the
Universe is there generating and emanating pure love and light we need only
turn our attention to in order to begin to feel, engage the freedom of healing
and wielding understanding and love instead of hatred or psychological
projection and transference.
No matter
which side of that line that you stand on, know that you have the power always
to choose the darkness or the light. If you see only darkness and
shadows, shift your gaze; make some positive changes so that the energy that
gathers behind your emotion magnetizes more loving light, energy and positivity
to you. For those standing in the light, be undeterred by your brothers
and sisters who have either intentionally or unwittingly chosen the darkness
and fear. Instead, understand.
A Course In Miracles describes the evidenced choices
of victims and villains and all the subsequent and seemingly hurtful actions of
such souls as “a cry for help and a cry for love.” Incredulous as this
might momentarily make you feel, you might be the one called to give assistance
to someone who attempts to steal your light through attempting to wage
emotional battle with you.
Know that
this does not mean that you are called to stand there and subject yourself to
emotional, verbal or physical punishment from the seemingly or inevitably mortally
emotionally wounded. There is a simple approach that you may take as you
then remove yourself to a brighter proximity.
And you may wish to choose to remain there until the soul can make his
or her choice or you can stand strong enough yourself to know the truth
therefore being unaffected by the dark choices of others. This simple approach can be done physically
or ethereally but it merely entails reminding the individual that they have not
sinned and any grievance they seemed to engage you with was born only of
illusion.
Let me
explain the illusion. If we go back over
the prior chapters, the behavior of others is often not even remotely related
to you but due to some trigger or some malfunctioning portion of their being
that creates the drama or emotional trauma that you are being presented the
opportunity to learn from. Any “attack”
or “emotional war” waged upon you is born of illusion. Even though you are hearing the words,
witnessing or being subject to the actions, their premise is an illusion and
they are reacting to that illusion and not really you. Therefore, the attack is unreal, the sin is
an illusion and you need take no insult or suffer further injury now that you
hold this understanding.
Based on
these facts, you can then offer forgiveness either physically or verbally or
even just in your own heart and mind knowing the seeming transgression against
you and any resulting pain was truly born of only illusion - this seeming war
the souls who need help engage in. You may let them know, in some way -
you have not sinned - it was only an illusion and you are forgiven and loved or
as I said, hold that space within your heart and mind if it means you are safer
in that approach. Such actions and thoughts will issue forth a reminder
that will provide by far more assistance than engaging in battle with them.
Realize
that in some cases, it truly may not be physically safe to engage in this
discussion face to face with some individuals and so the same affect can be
felt at least within you if you set aside quiet time and direct these thoughts at
the individual instead of angry and hurtful feelings. A soul in pain will
see threats where none exists and they will act as if the nearest thing or
person to them is the cause of their discomfort despite a life time of taking
on unhealed pain up to that point their paths crossed yours.
Understand
and hold compassion, understand and hold forgiveness and realize yourself the
choices you are making and have made. There is no sin, there is only
action and consequence born from an ego either healthy or not healthy within a
mind that is either whole or seemingly made through pain to be not whole at
all. Battling the mortally emotionally wounded makes no sense, nor does
standing continually in harm's way.
Find the
love within you to bless and forgive them and go about your business in love
and peace. It may take some time to come to a place of understanding as
you may have emotions to work through. Work
through them. Be courageous and face any
pain that you have taken on. Acknowledge
it, seek to understand it and then let it dissipate into the knowledge of a
life lesson hard won.
For those
making dark choices, you can always hold faith that one day they may see the
light. It really isn’t up to you to
force that upon them. Remember that your
true power lies within self-control, self-government and strong self-love. Know that there is no sin that you have
engaged in that takes you away from the loving light of Source. It's only
your jaded minds that have brought you these thoughts. Every soul is
connected to the One; therefore, every soul is love and light. The only
difference is the choices we make, the thoughts we hold and the perceptions we
consider truth based on the experiences we have.
If you
think yourself for a moment unworthy, again, you have not sinned. If you
believe yourself unworthy - it is you who will create things and situations to
reflect your thoughts and feelings of unworthiness. You are never
unworthy so endeavor to transform or cease those thoughts at once, or at least
as soon as you possibly can. Let go of the past pain that jades you -
seek assistance to do this if you must but do not stand in the darkness wishing
for the light or attempting to possess it from outside of yourself. The
light is within you the moment you find you are worthy to stand within it and
allow healing to come and then shift all of your actions towards loving
light. Know that it is only your thoughts that need adjusting, your
hearts and souls need mending and then you too can return to the light of love
and seemingly sin no more.
I wish no
soul on this planet had ever been harmed by another soul mired in dark
choices. I wish all could immediately return to the light but, you see,
that IS the journey - to return to the light and the choices you make will
bring you there or block you from it. You hold the tools and the
power. You really do.
To summarize our understanding:
- When faced with an attack, consider the premise of your opponent. Is it valid or invalid? You know the truth. Use that knowledge.
- A good part of the time, an attack is based on an illusion and that illusion may be born from environmental psychology and its resulting conditioning. That means the attack has nothing to do with you.
- If an attack has nothing to do with you, there are no “face-saving” maneuvers necessary for you to be okay. You are already okay just a little off-put by someone else’s illusory attack.
- Through understanding human interactions that sometimes occur in the negative, you can free yourself through forgiving illusory transgressions.
- When you free yourself from illusory transgressions, you realize there is no pain that you must suffer other than that which you may choose to suffer for the sole purpose of learning.
- You will unwittingly seek out individuals who behave in certain ways because a part of you most wants to learn and gain understanding.
- As this lesson is understood better, it will stop repeating in your life.
- The lesson will stop repeating because you will begin to see the truth, avoid letting someone get under your skin for something that has nothing to do with you and you’ll realize no action is even needed on your part.
- Self-forgiveness for lack of understanding is an imperative.
- Every soul does the only thing they know how to do, even you.
- You wouldn’t scream at a child who says or does the wrong thing would you? The child hasn’t yet had time to learn and so you’d most likely hold a state or space of understanding. Realize some people are frozen like children and what they need is understanding and what you need is to be safe.
- In one sense, all attack is an illusion as are the effects of the attack. Your consciousness cannot truly be harmed, it will live on no matter what you face here.
- Life lessons are that, lessons in life. You can choose to react, resist or run from them but you wanted to learn from them or you would not be here.
- The lessons change the more your understanding grows.
