Standing Up for Yourself
This is the most bizarre understanding that we will ever get in life. Unless we love ourself and are willing to protect ourself, stand up for ourselves, and face all the consequences, without self-judgment, without an internal critique going on, we cannot love anyone else.
This is us being in our hearts with ourselves. So important. No guilt. Just understanding.
Understanding the Other
And when we finally learn to love ourselves, we are in our hearts with everyone else too, because we understand them as intimately as we understand ourselves too. We understand their insecurities, their comparisons, their desire to control, their superiorities, only because we know all those faces of ourself. With compassion we interact, but all without letting anyone undermine us, or manipulate/project onto us.
Living from the Center
And when we love ourselves, we don’t need to react anymore, only respond with authenticity from our center. We understand others as intimately as we understand ourselves so we don’t project onto them or struggle with them either. This is why we do not allow anyone to project onto us either. No reaction is necessary, just a response.
I don’t have to react when I respond from my centre.
Struggle
We have the understanding that says “Why struggle for they are behaving the way we know too well” We understand their insecurities, because we have used ours to find our strength. We know their comparisons, because we know how our own mind works too. We have empathy for their desire to control, their superiorities, their need for self importance, because we have seen our own struggle with these things too.
Only because we know all those faces of ourself too, we have seen the futility of false ego power and the comical nature of all of it, do we come out of struggle.
Compassion and Acceptance
With compassion we interact from a centred space, connected to our own being where we feel our oneness with the universe, and all of this happens without letting anyone undermine us.
We are both dark and light and acceptance of all that we are, brings relaxation, crystallization, transformation and love to our lives.
