Learning and Growing - ... and Group

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your kind heart, . Not to worry. We all go through

what we need to go through to grow. Shakti is helping me to understand

what makes me angry and why, and teaching me how to communicate better

instead of blowing up! I'm trying to be a good student, really...

Instead of reacting I'm listening more, even in everyday life.

Listening to others and listening to my own heart. I would like for

wisdom to guide me instead of emotions, and like I said in the past,

Shakti puts me through the wringer. lol!

 

 

 

Its been mentioned before that we have sister groups for other

subjects. Some may not realize how insensitive that sounds. Everyone

on this Path within this group is so precious and valuable and not

here by accident. This may be the only place on the planet where

acceptance and belonging happens for some of us, a safe place to be

ourselves. Allowing space to love and learn is part of the Classroom

to me. And we learn by postings, our own and others. Shakti stresses

Love in my life. Learning how to love others. Not in a warm mushy way,

but in seeking the highest good of others over myself and my own

selfishness. This forum gives me ample opportunity to exercise that,

and learning how to be gracious as well. I may not experience the

physical symptoms that many of you share, but learning the divine

aspects of Love and Caring is the agenda I seem to be experiencing.

And I am not a Vegan.

 

So as we all learn how to " stay on topic " may we be kind about it when

others mess up. We don't always know the motivation behind a post.

Sometimes its just loneliness that causes someone to post an off topic

subject. Just to touch the group when the day may be a disaster, or a

mate is mean, or fear knocks on the door. Have you experienced how

comforting and strengthening it is for someone to respond to you in

moments like that? Even if you've posted something totally

irrelevant? You reach out and someone is always there....that's the

family aspect. imho

 

Shakti is teaching many Subjects in our Classroom. Even how to deal

with those who would attack. Its all good... " Negatives " are part of

the class. In my experience they are the classes I learn the most in,

second only to chrism's guidance. I may need to step back for a time

to get a grip but I'm learning to embrace them. Maybe with an " augh,

here we go again! " or a " geesh, I hate this! " , but they contain

treasure I couldn't have received any other way. And I am grateful.

 

Thank you for reading this.

I hope I made some sense.

 

Love, dhyana

 

I leave you with this:

 

Love is patient; love is kind

and envies no one.

Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;

never selfish, not quick to take offense.

There is nothing love cannot face;

there is no limit to its faith,

its hope, and endurance.

In a word, there are three things

that last forever: faith, hope, and love;

but the greatest of them all is love.
