Do you sense that things do not always go as you would like them to, or that people do not lovingly behave the way they ‘should’ or you would ‘expect’ or ‘want’ them to? Do you react negatively? Do you hold a grudge against anyone? Do you think you are in charge of the behavior of others? Do you ever ‘give’ others your suggestions to get your knowledge of things across to them? Do you subtly impose your perceptions upon them? Do you believe that others are to blame for your mood, attitude & behavior? Do you feel pride in justifying your anger and then experience guilt afterwards? If yes, do you want to change? Is it time that you would like to muster up some courage and decide to forgive your perception of things? If you see any kind of negativity in the world, it means that this is the same level from which you are perceiving reality. If you see dis-respect in others, it means you are coming from a perception of Anger & Pride. ‘You’ are the one still caught up in the grips of negative energy patterns, and it is up to ‘You’ to want to change those patterns in order to change your perception of the world. These negative patterns include Shame, Guilt, Grief, Apathy, Fear, Anger & Pride. It’s truly no sin if you find yourself caught up in any ‘one’ of these negative patterns, say, Anger, but it IS self-tormenting you if you decide to blame the world for that energy pattern. You have been unconsciously binding yourself in Anger when you condemn others for the Anger you find yourself in. It is the unconscious denial of the negative energy level you are in that is the cause of your suffering, NOT the actions of others, events or circumstances of the world. Knowing that it is the negative energy level of ‘ANGER’ that you are living in that is the cause of your continual suffering, (& not the world) helps to support the understanding & forgiveness required to release the victim mentality and claim yourself as the empowered Chooser of Perception. Always being in “opposition to negativity” or feeling oppositional to another person’s “opposition to negativity” is evidence that you have not yet fully acknowledged negativity or accepted it within yourself. That’s OK. Just notice your compelling need to resist anything negative. Coming face to face with life that seems to trigger shame, guilt, fear, anger or pride does not have to mean that you tighten your mask & fight the perceived threat. All it means is that you have been given an opportunity to compassionately accept the state within yourself, & admit you are powerless to control it. Forgive the negative energy patterns you’re experiencing and the filters of perception they hold you to. Holding an attitude or ‘position’ of defense is entirely the reason why life continues to deal you the cards that you perceive justifies the need to repeatedly take such a ‘position’. Gently let go of your need to take any position, for any reason, and be willing to accept any negativity that is arising, whether it’s in yourself or others. Negativity is not ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’, and it’s certainly not to be controlled, denied or blamed on anyone or anything. It’s only to be accepted for what it is; a negative energy pattern YOU are moving through. One day, you will wake up and experience a deep sense of Loving Acceptance for all life just the way it is; an abiding sense of calm, comfort, ease, flow and an ‘all rightness’ with life.
If you continually feel compelled to shun responsibility for your behavior and hold a “positional attitude”, (good or bad), then that is your current destiny. You have simply not earned your right to desire peace & unity wholeheartedly. While you are living in this state of ignorance, life will continue to offer you opportunities to change your mind, but if you do not find yourself wanting to change your mind, it means you are not ready to desire peace & unity wholeheartedly & you shall continue to perceive both good things and bad things to which you can blame or give credit to, keeping you convinced that your attitude is at the mercy of others. You will perpetuate a “positional” attitude. This is bondage. If a day comes when you ‘want’ to change your mind, then you are ready to begin a new journey. You have been granted the ‘desire’ to change your mind. This is a Gift, and it is your newfound destiny to move forward. This is your escape from bondage. You will want to take responsibility for your compulsion to judge anything good or bad. You will gain an understanding that your attitude is not at the mercy of circumstances and you will find yourself releasing the need to hold a “positional attitude” for anything. You will come to accept that all your positive & negative perceptions have no more purpose. Life will balance out, and feel more pleasant. Your desire and demonstration to hold a non-positional attitude concerning ‘people & things’ will bring to you more serenity & peace, and a unified perception of all things. Now you will be ready to teach Peace to others.
