Thank you, but I forgot to link it to dharma.

However, it has a link!

GKK> We are not supposed to like them.

 

Yes, dear Gururattan! We are not suppose to like them at all!

 

Things are not what we want them to be. They are what they are. They

shouldn't be different otherwise they wouldn't be what they are!

 

LOL! I am going to explain what I mean.

There is a lesson Life/Soul wants us to learn. We are different,

therefore we can't compare anyone to anyone. There is no comparison

between different things. Things and people are what they are. They

aren't here to please us, they are to live their life the best they

can. When we engage a spiritual path we learn to harmonize our fields

of energy the best we can.

But how to do that when I don't like them?

Aha! This is the lesson: we are expect to accept things and people as

they are! We can't change things or people. Unless we accept them exactly

the way they are, we'll never be able to help them - if it is the

case. If I don't accept someone I will fight him - in words, acts or

thoughts! Then I'll dwell in the negative, as Gururattan said. When I

accept - in spite of my dislike - I don't fight, the negative can go

away because I am not clung to it and I have enough room to work with

what is good in the situation or person. Once again, if it is the

case. Sometimes the only thing I can do is to spread all the

love I feel inside me.

 

GKK> But our challenge is not to dwell in the

starts

GKK> with changing ourselves. The more we find the love in our own being, the

That's a very powerful affirmation! Love is a "thing" we project! We

live in a weblike world. I remember that I read once somewhere: When I

pick a flower from my garden I know that I am striking a star!

GKK> I remember so well that one of the major environmental protesters who went

You said it all with great precision. I don't have a comma to add, comment

or question.

 

GKK>There are so many lessons we all have to learn. Learning together is very

Dear Claudia,

Yes, and what you said is very important. Actually everything you said was

very important, but I will pick out one thing to comment on.

 

> Things are not what we want them to be. They are what they are.

 

Moving beyond judgment to IS reality is one of our most challenging mental

and spiritual tasks.

 

 

When we engage a spiritual path we learn to harmonize our fields of energy

the best we can.

> But how to do that when I don't like them?

> Aha! This is the lesson: we are expect to accept things and people as they

I'll dwell in the negative, as Gururattan said. When I accept - in spite of

my dislike - I don't fight, the negative can go away because I am not clung

me.

 

This is a very important concept. If we accept things, people, our feeling

and ourselves the way they and we are, we have a chance to create a change.

If we do not accept them, our energy prevents change from occurring because

we are fighting instead of creating. Creation happens through love and

acceptance.

 

The touchstone is acceptance. We can practice this in meditation. We

accept our feelings and everything that we are experiencing in our body.

The more we relax and allow what we are experiencing, the more the

resistance goes away. Try it. It really works. Acceptance is one of the

most powerful tools of change that exists. That is because it rides on the

waves of universal love.

 

This is a concept that has been taught for thousands of years. It is a

basic principle of Buddhism. Ghandi applied it to the politilcal situation

in India. We can all apply it in our everyday lives and create a silent

planetary revolution.

 

Many blessings,
