When issues arise in your life, whether they are personal issues, universal issues, or issues involving others in your life, they are showing you that something needs attendance, that something needs to change, that something is in need of new energy, new life or new direction. Let what comes to guide you become the most important issue for the time being. The world outside of you will present you with plenty to focus on, but the most important thing to focus on is within the self. What is going on inside of you that needs attendance? What are you being asked to address, to solve, or to resolve? What needs to change? In turning eyes inward even the most complicated of outer issues will soon resolve as well, for all that is outside is also inside.
All that comes to you, your lessons, your challenges, your traumas, your losses, are for your personal benefit. They are your life lessons, meant to engage you and teach you. Appropriate questions to ask as you struggle through any phase of life are: What am I to learn from this? How can I best advance by having this issue in my life? Where is this leading me? Keep in mind that everything that happens to you is for your benefit and you will soon begin to see how you are being benefitted, how you are being guided, and how you are being led toward something new. Everything that happens to you is nudging you forward in life.
As regards hierarchy, there is no real hierarchy in the world of true reality. For in true reality there are no differences of matter, there are only differences of spirit, and none is above or below the other, all are on an even playing field, the only differences being in clarity of understanding. As you evolve in the Earth Plane you are learning what you need to learn in order to spiritually advance. Whether you advance materially or not is of little importance. The most important thing to learn in any life is the principle of loving kindness. That is the one and only thing that matters. Such a principle takes many forms of instruction and each person will learn according to their needs, and lessons in life will revolve around core issues and be presented in individually beneficial ways, but in the end loving kindness will be revealed as the one and only true challenge in a lifetime.
A fool once tried to get a donkey to move, but nothing they did or said would move the donkey. That is often what happens in life. Trying to make something happen is a fool’s errand. You can’t change anyone else. You can only change yourself. In so doing, you show that change is possible, and when others see this they too are empowered to change, if they are ready.
Many years ago, my sister, while working as a nurse in a hospital, had an encounter with a man, who may be described as the current, most powerful person in the world. She described him, in that encounter, as both gentle and gracious. This description is quite at variance with his current emphasis, one seemingly dominated with hatred and rage.
The experience of the full range of positive and negative emotions and thoughts is central to the human journey. When our spirit chose to enter a life in Earth School, the intent was to address a specific issue via a human life that would allow for the full enactment and resolution of that core issue.
Naturally, we begin that human journey with our core issue in the crudest of form, like the sculptor who begins their opus with a pile of clay or a solid hunk of marble. We master that core issue, from its crudest of form, into the most refined delicacy of love, toward self and all others, through the working art of a human lifetime. This is the mastery our spirit requires to further its journey in the ever-deepening mystery of infinity.
Spirit, then, is capable of acting both from the higher emotions of love to the crudest emotion of hatred. Thus both good and evil exist in spirit form. Our thoughts and feelings are emissaries of our spirit. When we think positive thoughts and feelings about someone, they experience, on some level, the energetic intention of our positive spirit toward them.
The feeling and behavior of kindness brings people together, regardless of their differences. Expressions of hate and rage generate fear and more rage, as well as divide people in accordance with their differences. Many people today are deeply concerned with the fate of the world under the strain of this polarization, which is rapidly impacting life at all levels.
Many feel compelled to protest, in a variety of ways, the exercise of power as it is currently being deployed on the world stage. I approach the challenge through the suggestion of positive influence, emitted from the highest level of spirit.
This may take the form of a telepathic message for the greater good that we send off, in thought and feeling, to someone we know. That person may experience an unexpected thought about us as the message is delivered. However, the force of the message may not reach the level of their conscious awareness, and act instead as a hidden suggestion to their subconscious mind.
The relationship between the conscious and subconscious minds is the most powerful force we have access to in human form. Thoughts and feelings that issue from the mind, or spirit, act as suggestions to the subconscious mind that then engages its ability to manifest on the physical plane, the intents and desires that issue from the mental plane.
We impact the lives of others by the thoughts and feelings we have about them. If we feel hatred towards someone, their subconscious mind will be influenced by this suggestion to generate more hatred. Our own preoccupation with hatred also directly impacts our own subconscious mind, which will then draw experiences toward us which further those dark feelings and thoughts.
The most effective way to influence another person at the highest level of spirit is to encourage, in thought, that they reach a highly refined resolution of their own core issues. This suggestion is imbued with love and compassion and encourages the same feelings in the recipient.
Every time I think of the powerful man I opened this blog with, I imagine the experience my sister once had with him. I appeal to the kindness I know he has inside him. I suggest that he open to that side of himself and take full advantage of his ability to advance the greater good of the world on a grand scale. I know, with certainty, that this possibility exists within him, as well as within all others.
I suggest that many people, in their thoughts and intentions, send off the same message. This collective intent for the greater good generates a high level of spirit influence, the true motor behind our expressions of physical life.
Whatever form of protest or influence one might choose to engage in, always be sure to refine both thoughts and feelings beyond hatred and rage so as to deliver a current of energy that awakens love and a focus on the greater good of all.
