bonds with others
We all need people in our lives who will tell us things we may not want to hear because it makes us uncomfortable. Someone recently told me a truth that I didn’t want to hear but I was grateful to hear it. Consciously we may not know that it is discomfort, at first. We could say things like, “Well that won’t happen,” “That doesn’t matter,” “Okay, whatever,” “well f you then” Whatever it may be.
The conscious rejection of the feedback or even the rejection of CONSIDERING why or how it could matter in truth. It is our responsibility to use discernment to recognize the people in our lives who care about us enough to speak the truth to us, Without blaming them for being able to see it. People who want the truth but only pretend to be honest with themselves and avoid shadow work are gaslighting themselves (as we are taught) and are still wounded. But that is within divine timing.
Not good, nor bad.
Karmic.
Cause, Effect.
We become entangled with another’s journey when we project dissatisfaction with their placement along their path’s trajectory. To know you’re right where you’re meant to be is to allow others to be right where they are, too. Sometimes certain things are said to us and for whatever reason, they elicit powerful emotions; we may be upset or in denial or simply dismissive because we believe it has no merit or bearing on our reality; but in many cases, it’s that the nerve that has been struck is too overwhelmingly, painfully still engulfed in the adaptations of how the ego’s perceptions of past events and how memories were stored are understood.
Too much to bear
Sometimes it’s too shrouded to even be accessible for conscious integration. That’s just where the process is for that person. And that’s okay. Life has infinite ways of repeating triggers to catalyze movement of stuckness within. It asks us to remember that we are, or could strive to be, grateful for even having available a mirror of ourselves through others at all! Not pushing them away because of it if we don’t like what we see.
But embracing the ability to become closer through accepting people without exacerbating conflict or escalating perceived differences. Diffusing heightened feelings, tensions or misalignments, through mutual sharing, that assumes both parties are not trying to do harm but care, and upholding your participation in that transaction through embodiment more than just word.
Accepting people as we would want to be accepted is to know that accepting others in turn helps us extend that to ourselves; it is a loop of love; it is infinite, and whenever people want to hop into it they can.
It’s not going anywhere ❤️
If you enter this space during interactions and remain in the truth of your experience while you communicate through conflicts, who stays and who goes as a result of those conversations with you is a determination of what is for your highest good (as seen through the universe’s eyes as GROWTH, EVOLVEMENT, and EXPANSION), and what you have manifested. It shows you where to go from here.
