Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hello Beloveds, This morning in meditation I received the intuition that just as Shakti comes to us in dreams of snakes, black dogs, spiders and scorpians, so can she come in the guise of tormentors in the Group. Something to think about. Love, dhyana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to think about. Laugh! I loved the subject line! (he he he) ... and I think you nailed it. I went to a class with Bijan a couple years ago, and he spoke at length on how abusive people (in his opinion) had volunteered to come to teach us lessons in this lifetime, and how, if we could only learn to see that, we could turn our resentment not just into forgiveness but gratitude. At the time, I snorted " yeah, right " ... but then I thought about one particular case ... A fellow I'd known for years just up and tore into me. He'd always been somewhat abusive, but this was the last straw. And it was brutal. It was emotionally violent, and I feared it could become physical. After it was over I had a huge epiphany about how " it " was all about him, not about me, and for the first time I was able to choose not to react. That was at that point, the best moment of my life. It had already been a huge blessing, and while I'd divorced him from my life, I had truly forgiven him. I went on a high that lasted for weeks after that - and recalling it still can bring me a wonderful feeling. Then one day, what Bijan said really hit me. When I saw it from a higher level, what this man had done was to sacrifice one of his best friends .... so that I could see the true meaning of " It's about them, not about you. " That was a lesson I'd struggled with all through my childhood, and he helped me see it - at a huge cost to himself. I was overcome by such powerful love and gratitude, it completely washed away any negativity I held for this man. I only wish it were safe to share it with him, but alas, it's not possible. I can share it with you though, and with each person who is able to come to this, my joy will double. There is just no feeling like that. Humbling and freeing and ecstatic all at the same time.
