Welcome back, Good Friends,
We invite you to breathe with us, and to honor the Human You in the midst of a very important transition.
Astrological
alignments leading up to the New Moon (May 5th) have brought many
negative emotions to the surface for your examination – emotions that
have been entangled in your choices to begin and sustain a New Life.
This clearing has affected relationships of all kinds, but particularly
those in which you have been feeling insecure, unfulfilled, obstructed,
and lacking in clear communication.
With the coming of the New
Moon, you were brought into a moment of inner silence. This calm
allowed you to evaluate, and begin correcting these situations. This
period of reflection will continue. And if you choose, it will help
bring your emotional reactions into alignment with the Deeper Feelings
of your Soul.
Dear friends, the intensity of recent weeks has
culminated. Know that you can find a better way to express what you
feel now – that you can express your Deeper Feelings with clarity, and
not from a place dominated by unbalanced emotion.
Breathe now,
and feel the events of recent days. Be the observer of these events,
and not their victim. If you do, you will see how far you can go in
understanding what really happened.
Aligning with Truth
During
the past three weeks, the choices you made about stepping into the New
You have created a deepening and quickening. You are coming into
resonance with the Truth About You – that you are a Child of God, you
are God also, and that you can live your life now as your Soul does,
without pain or drama.
When this alignment takes place,
everything that doesn’t serve you, absolutely everything that is not in
direct resonance with the Truth, begins to tremble. It begins to fall
away, unable to stand on the ground of certainty That You Are.
Now
take a look, especially at those situations that were full of conflict
in these past weeks. And when you look at them, when you go deeper and
strip away the drama surrounding them, observe how these situations
revealed what you are ready to release from your life; what cannot
exist around you anymore.
Releasing Conflict, Restoring Harmony
Release
is not a reaction. It is not you, rebelling against something you don’t
like, even if it may feel this way at first. When you release
something, it occurs without a struggle, without a fight.
Release
is a gateway to New Beginnings. When you feel the need to release
anything, it means you are ready to embrace something different –
something better, fresher, and more pleasant.
Think of renewal
and release as the crests that rise and fall upon the ocean of your
Manifesting Being. They are you, in your cycles of being and becoming.
Being and becoming…
So, how then do you release conflict?
Releasing conflict is like letting go of any situation in which you have felt hurt.
Do
you remember when you were a child? What did you do when you fell down
unexpectedly? Did you dramatize your fall by staying on the ground,
crying in despair? No. Soon you got up and walked on.
Well,
perhaps you cried a little longer, feeling sorry for yourself as you
continued along your way. But then you began to laugh, remembering how
a silly distraction caused you to trip in the first place. You might
have started paying more attention from this point on, choosing to look
ahead from time to time and lift your feet higher whenever obstacles
appeared in your path.
The same is true with conflicts. The
easiest way to release a painful conflict is to acknowledge that you
feel hurt, while remembering that it’s no one’s fault, really. It just
happened. Then pick yourself up, consciously step out of it, and be
willing to seek a Higher Resolution, instead.
Letting Things Be
Most
conflicts result from miscommunication and judgment, followed by
episodes of blaming and the entanglement of highly-charged emotional
energies. When shaming and blaming are involved, the Soul-to-Body
connection is also weakened, and this can result in injury to the
psyche, as well.
But when people are allowed to Be As They Are –
unconditioned by your expectations or desires for change – then they
and you can free yourselves from conflict.
By denying judgment,
blame, or shame any foothold in your disagreements, and just letting
things be as they are – they will find their own way to freedom and
resolution.
They will find their way to reSOULution, a soul-inspired solution.
When
you call upon your Higher Awareness to help you in this, then stepping
out of conflict will be the most natural thing for you to do. It will
be the path of least resistance.
Your willingness to go higher –
to BE HIGHER – will automatically move you in that direction. And when
this shift takes place, you will see where you were emotionally and
intellectually entangled, and what new road you might want to take up,
instead.
When people in conflict are allowed to explore and
expand upon their values, they often find Higher Expressions for them.
But when you try to restrict or control others, indicating a certain
direction for them that you consider appropriate, then you limit your
understanding of them and their understanding of themselves.
Do you see this?
Each
being, every relationship, and all situations have an inner compass
orienting them toward Higher Expression. It is the natural way of
things. It is the evolutionary, creative impulse at its simplest. When
people, situations, and relationships are allowed to just Be As They
Are – and I mean here, not restricting them with judgment, expectation,
or blame of any kind – then you give them the opportunity to move
forward in the best way they know how.
When you do not limit or
hold others back with your judgments or beliefs about them, you free
them to go beyond their self-imposed limitations and become more than
they’ve demonstrated themselves to be.
Judgment and Conflict
Remember
that judgments are derived from what you believe to be right or wrong
with the world. They are not necessarily related to the Truth about the
world.
Judgments fragment. They divide what is Wholly Perfect
into “acceptable” and “unacceptable” categories determined solely by
what you believe to be true – and not by what you KNOW to be Truth.
Do you see the difference?
Whenever
you judge people or situations, you encircle them with beliefs about
who you think they are, and forget who you know them to be in Truth.
You blind yourselves to the Truth About Them.
It stands to
reason that if your perceptions about a person or situation are limited
to your beliefs about them, then your understanding of them will be
limited, too. You will be unable to recognize their Wholeness, or their
Divinity. And if you fail to recognize this in others, how will you see
it in yourself? This is the root cause of conflict.
Let me repeat that. Forgetting your Divinity is the root cause of all conflict.
When
you forget your Divinity – when you forget that you, and those you
share this world with, are incarnations of God’s Love – then you have
to rely on limited beliefs, opinions, judgments, and other forms of
incomplete information to navigate your way through life and through
relationships. Ask yourselves, what else but misunderstanding and
conflict can come from this?
How Does Non-Judgment Work?
There is a way to remember the sacredness of your relationships and step out of conflict. It is called non-judgment.
Non-judgment
begins as you become aware of your limiting beliefs – as you begin to
realize that your interactions with others are driven by what you
believe to be true about them, and not by the Truth About Them.
Non-judgment
begins when you realize that your beliefs can separate you from others,
whereas the Truth will always unite you. Paradoxically, as you gain
this awareness, you become more tolerant of other’s beliefs. You do
this because you no longer allow your beliefs, or those of other’s, to
separate you from knowing that you, they, and God are One.
Non-judgment arises when you remember that your Divinity IS theirs, too.
When
you go beyond beliefs and allow your Divine Nature to touch theirs, you
will reach a point of contact. Here you will initiate a new form of
communication with them; perhaps not with words, and perhaps not
openly, but it will be Present, and it will be Soulful.
How do you do this in practice? How do you practice non-judgment in the middle of a misunderstanding or argument?
We
would suggest that when the first signs of discord appear, you
acknowledge that your beliefs may be limiting your understanding of
people and situations. Then inwardly choose to go Higher. Choose to
allow something greater than “understanding” to penetrate your
perception. Choose to remember the Truth About Then and about you. Then
silently offer this remembrance of Divinity to everyone involved,
including yourself.
Once you remember your common Divinity, then
grant everyone the freedom to express themselves and to evolve those
expressions. Free them to go Higher with all they say and do. Offer
them and yourselves a place for respectful, unrestricted exchange. When
you do this – when you suspend judgment, let go of expectations, and
stop blaming yourselves at every turn, you will come to see each other
As You Truly Are, and appreciate your magnificence.
Responding, Instead of Reacting
When
you remember your Divinity and share it, you free others to walk this
path of remembrance with you. And when you remember to share your
Divinity, you will have mastered conflict. You will respond to people,
and not react to them, moving from conflict to harmony as you form New
Relationships.
And so it is, and so it will be.
