The whole reason for any experience in our lives, is to call forth a remembrance of who we really are as an object of infinite potential. We are created as… All That Is and All That Is Not.
If we stop trying to control, move past, go beyond, cast out, go above, or run from the possibilities of ‘negative’ experiences… then there is no reason for them to control us anymore. It’s usually the negative ones that we dwell on the most.
In other words, the instant we realize and accept that everything in our life is equal, then we recognize that we cannot go beyond or move past negative situations. They are part of our life! I have to work really hard at this. The negative situations are equal to us, since we are infinitely everything. That’s an empowering thought.
Hence, we need to become accepting to just let go (OR, “Let Go; Let God,) and allow the idea that the possibility of a ‘negative’ situation has the potential to happen at anytime! You can become perfectly content with that idea, since you soon realize that every ‘negative’ situation is created, sometimes by ourselves, and allows us to grow! Now, that idea I like.
Magicians often use mirrors to perform their illusions because mirrors reflect a clear image of life making the illusion seem very real; you are unaware of the mirror that the magician is using. When you are the “magician” in real life situations… then there is no illusion; you see the mirror and you use the mirror as a tool.
Think of reality as a mirror, then we must change ourselves in order to see the change in the mirror. If you desire for your hair to change then you must comb or brush the hair on your head in order to see the change in the mirror. More times than not, people will try to change what they see by changing the mirrored reflection. A famous quote says, “Be the change you want to see in the world” this is exactly what that quote means. When you take responsibility for all of your reality, then you give yourself the power to change anything within your reality. Cool, huh?
We can adopt this perspective into reality, by first looking around at everything we see and hear in our reality right now. Next, close your eyes. When you close your eyes in the moment, you are telling your mind to refresh your viewpoint. Now, open your eyes and look around you again, except this time see everything as if we are looking into a mirror. Everything you are now seeing or hearing is a reflection of the mirror within you.
Everything starts from within and is reflected outwardly. If we don’t like what we see… in any aspect of our life… the reality and negative situation is ours to alter. I’m a believer!

WHEN WE HURT OTHERS…
The other day I received a comment on an old blog post that started with, “You’re full of crap,” and ended with, “…how can people like you help us anyway.”
However, in the same batch of recent comments, I received another email from a “new” follower of my Blog, who thanked me profusely… for writing about topics that many think about, but are uncomfortable mentioning. They ironically wanted to know if I ever received “negative comments” or were they always compliments from my readers. Hmmm.
I told them that sometimes, I do receive negative emails, but there were so many more that are constructive, uplifting conversations rather than negative, hurtful ones… that I tried to not dwell on them.
This kind of thing is to be expected when you write about emotionally charged topics. People in need of an answer to their own issue(s) often search for self-help articles when they’re looking for answers. Sometimes, we are looking to forget the answer we already know that pain is unavoidable and sometimes we simply need to go through it.
With this in mind, I responded privately to my negative reader, “I get the impression you’re really hurting right now. Is there some way I can help?”
Right then I thought about all the times I lashed out at people when I was suffering in the past. I thought about how justified I felt in hurting others, especially when they’d hurt me first or failed to really help me. Thankfully, this was when I was much younger.
These are not things I am proud to admit and they’re not things I condone. Actually, in recent years I have coined these negative memories, MEMROIDs. Pretty accurate, right? We all have a responsibility to learn healthy ways to cope when we are hurting. But I suspect if we’re honest with ourselves, most of us can identify moments when we acted thoughtlessly, from a place of sorrow or anger.
Over the years, I have learned that we have a right to set boundaries and communicate when something is not okay. However, the world is a better place when we choose to do that from a place of love and compassion instead of righteousness and judgment.
We all act thoughtlessly at times. Most often we don’t mean to hurt each other. We just don’t recognize or remember how we are also hurting ourselves. We remember our own negative actions/ words long after the recipient has forgotten them.
Namaste!
