Walking one's own journey

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

 

I feel compelled to share this, a recent shared experience with a

friend, and a previous discussion with another friend, brought this

about.... Take what you can ream from it, and discard that which you

cant.... After all, that is what sharing here is all about.... Not to

say one is above another, but acknowledging all walks lead to the

beloved. However you wish to call that great divine love. And a few

things on words.

 

I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I chose the wrong word, or

phrase a sentence incorrectly... to give confusing or mixed messages

as to the content... This is where "knowing the person, and their

intent" come in handy.. Yet so many, come to this list and others,

with blinders on.... We dont always acknowledge they are there... But

we see our walk behind us, our walk we are in, and our walk ahead of

us.... And gauge other people by this perception.....This cannot only

be confusing for us, but for them, and sometimes can have temporary

stumbling effects, and sometimes can just lead to havoc and messy

mucky discussions. Also creating the illusion of "rightness or

wrongness" within our own minds.

 

Sometimes we have suffered a particular area of our walk so intensely,

our desire to "save" other people from that position motivates us to

intervene in their walk.... But as I stated above, sometimes that

position, may not actually be causing the other person great

distress.... After all, the walk is merely steps.... Not even taken

in succession... So we cannot even say, this happens, then this will

happen... Nor can we say, this will happen, and that cant happen...

That is all bologne.... LOL....

 

I would say that this is a wonderful gift of love to try and "save"

people from making the same mistakes we have made... But is it? That,

of course, would depend on how your interference is received.... We

cannot always guess how someone will respond to us... Yet, we boldly

go forth anyways... In a way, it can become a judgement on our

part...

 

Just listen to how our minds will do this.... out of love for someone

we see someone walking towards a trap we experienced before.... We

say, "oh please, dont go that way, you are bound to fall...The

fall will hurt you, please, just listen" Its much like a parent

trying to help a child to walk.... Gosh, as a mother, I know that

feeling.... But, if we dont let the children walk their walk, dont we

only then stiffle their natural process?? It is the same with us....

We are all children... Lets face that truth... Wonderful children,

learning to walk, run, fly..... Should we stiffle someone's natural

growth with our fear or even our misinterpretation of their true

position....

 

Sometimes we just dont really know where someone is, until we know

them on a personal level... Does a list afford personal knowing?? Not

really.... I can say I love this list, which I do..... But can I say I

know you all just by your emails on the list... No.... The one's I

know, are people who will talk on a personal level, one on one in

private emails...

 

Another thing that kinda goes hand in hand with this concept of how to

help people, and when to help people... It is always so helpful to

remember.....

 

Look back on our past walk.... What we know now, was it the same as

what we knew then? Each stage, each experiencing, each enlightened

event that hits you over the head with a lightening bolt..... Brings

about a new awareness.... So what you know now..... Will it be the

same as what you will know later... Or perhaps, there is the

possibility that in the future, what you know now will be obsolete

for you.....

 

What am I saying? It really doesnt matter what I say, I'm just like

you.... I've been somewhere, I've gone somewhere, I'm going

somewhere... Where I was, is not where I am, is not where I will be

in the future... Each day affording something new... Why stay where I

am at... When exciting new adventures await just around the corner...

Why worry about someone else's journey..... Their journey is theirs

to enjoy.

 

No worry, sweet Harsha's list.... All fall together nicely.... truly.
