Melody: Gloria, I really enjoy reading your posts. Your experience of the healing and transfomational power of love is in resonance with my own. As I look at my own relationships, and notice the ones presently in discord, it is easy to recognize my own participation in the closing of another's heart towards me. I recognize that when another perceives me as 'slapping them', the door of their heart closes towards me. At that point, it didn't matter how much Truth I carry in my back pocket, the 'other' has closed the door to me, until the relationship had been repaired. I recognize those relationships on these very lists that are in need of repair... by noticing how I tend to gloss over the words some offer, as if there is no value in them.... which, of course, is my loss until my eyes are again cleared. :-) The challenge to see with 'new eyes' is forever the opportunity to 'be here now', and not see thru those eyes of yesterday. It can be done, yet it does seem as if we sometimes create a lot of unnecessary work for each other. :-) Now, having said that, it is also easy for me to step over to the other side of the fence and say, "goodness, look at all the opportunities I have been given today....to stay transparent to words and attitudes of others. And when some words 'stick', I have been given an opportunity to see...square in my face...what attachment is calling for freedom. Would it be marvelous if we only saw the beauty and the truth in each other, and like the 3 monkeys.. 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil'? Yes. But recognizing this little monkey began her walk with skin that acts like fly paper, I have come to honor those who 'ring my bells' as those who assist me to identify them. :-) Yet, admittedly, it is easier for me to appreciate those whose hearts are so radiant, that the sacred space they hold for me greatly fascilitates the clearing away of those defensive attachments. So what I have taken a very long time to say I guess <s> is, "It's all perfect, if we choose to see it as so". I, for one, used Bruce and Tim's exchange as a 'neti, neti' reinforcer. Someone else may have been gifted in a totally different way. If my life is any example, it seems that loving conduct cannot be legislated. (It's always backfired when it's been a 'should' in my life.) Love can however be inspired, which is what you do in every post...and it is simply *what's left' after 'neti, neti' has run it's full course. With love, Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always purpose for whatever comes our way, however, the learning that comes with this is to reflect on the words and the intentions coming through the words. It is in fact, the intention which holds the power, if the intention is one of love and acceptance even a hurtful word will be carried. If there is other motives, then it will create a string of cause/effect that can be quite powerful. The way to neutralize this energy is to examine intention and simply notice where it comes from. When people have the experience of living in the heart center and above then whatever comes through will be with love. It is when folks haven't learned detachment and surrender that solar plexus energies release the fire of misunderstanding and what I call psychic warfare. There is a big difference between the frequencies when love is the carrier and when the solar plexus energy is being used. It is really nothing more then where the individual is stationed in the energy body. There is no great mystery about this, it is simply a matter of will and purpose. > > As I look at my own relationships, and notice the > ones presently in discord, it is easy to recognize > my own participation in the closing of another's > heart towards me.
