Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Sat Nam All I am struggling with the similar issues that Keyleun spoke of. Only in a slightly different way. She said the things that disturb us in others is a reflection of ourselves. Some days and in some situations I very closely examin this situation with in myself. My biggest issue relates to dependability and people doing what they say they are going to do --and being on time. And if you cant be there when you said you were then just call me up and tell me ---either you cant make it or your gonning to be late. I do understand that sometimes actual emergency of some sort happens and that is ok. However reapeted undependability by certain individuals leaves me wondering sometimes how much of a freind am I really to them. I am truly a very dependable person. When I make plans with someone I follow threw 100 percent. If I can not follow threw I call them up several hours or a couple days ahead of time and let them know well enough in advance. So my question is : If I am 100 percent dependable and I keep having undependable people actions in my life ---how on earth am I the cause of this situation? Some one please enlighten me. How is a undependable person being a reflection of me? I don't get it I really don't, and actually Ive been pondering this for a couple years now. Actually over the past couple years I have quit making plans with anyone because this situation happened every time I made plans with someone -- they were either very late--not ready to leave when I arived at there house to pick them up (I actually mean still asleep in bed) to take them some were that they ask me to take them, or they dont show up at all.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Sat Nam, It is a reflection of you because you would hate yourself, if you were ever late and did not let the other person know. You make it an issue. Let it go and it will let you go. Freedom is flexability.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Kim: You ask how other people's refusal to be dependable is your doing in some sense. It is not, however, the contrapositive is true. By your constantly being dependable, you are (inspite of their behavior), teaching them what is appropriate. Maybe they have not yet translated it into their behavior, however, a time will come when they will. Remember, this is yoga in the truest sense. We are all evolving and in this process, it is the right which will evolve to the next level, and otehr things will fade. I have a yogi friend, who is the most trusting person, you could have ever seen. You can attempt to fool him to his face, and he will not realise it, and will trust what is being said to him. It shows, how close to God such people are. Double standards and the rest aseem sometimes to be the norm, however, on the path of yoga, when one sees this in other people, one should just realize, this is a lesson we have to learn, and that we too are teaching someone else something that helps them in their evolution. Try it. It can work wonders in our own evolution. Kameelia33SSS wrote: Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
