On The Path Of Respect

Do you know why we as souls come to this planet? There are many reasons of course but an overall reason that affects everyone of us has to do with long standing attitudes and opinions by people on other planets about Earth People.

Of course there is great love and compassion and kindness generally speaking from people from other planets - meaning human beings and others on other planets - towards Earth People but very often when they look at society here and the way things run as compared to the ideals of how they ought to run, depending on the society one looks at and their philosophy and way of life, the tendency is to look askance at Earth People, "You say this, you do that" and so on.

So one of the main reasons we all come here no matter where we've lived on other planets, no matter how we've lived, no matter what we've done - and you know the other planets are all very benevolent for the most part - the number one lesson we all are learning regardless of all the other lessons we may learn has to do entirely with respect because most beings on those other planets have no idea what it's like in the day to day experience, why people make the choices they do, what pressures they are under and all of the felt day to day experiences that are not necessarily thought out but are often simply a reaction to what is happening or what is anticipated to happen.

All of the innuendoes of life to say nothing of the great influences cannot be understood unless one lives a life on Earth.

This is the most challenging planet in our universe, as I have been taught and I believe on the basis of my experience, where one can have a life. I want you to think about that when you have the highs in your life and the lows and when things are on an even keel.

Always remember that one of the reasons we are here is to develop respect for human beings, respect in general for what human beings go through and respect for ourselves - not only for being polite which is good but also for simply understanding, appreciating and living.

It is a hard life here many times and it is so easy to make a snap judgment about people, who they are and what they do - and we often make that judgment on ourselves as well. Lets remember that life here is more complex then life on any other planet in the universe that affects human beings and many other beings as well.

Lets be more patient with ourselves. Lets understand that life is almost entirely unknown to us - meaning that what we see in other people - even friends and family is often only the tip of the iceberg based upon what we don't know about them and always at least half if not three quarters, which it often is, of what we don't know about them are things that we would like.

So - be patient, be as kind as you are able and lets let go of judgment if we can. It's alright to be discerning. Discernment after all allows you to know what's best for you and what you must leave for others but judgment has a tendency also to apply condemnation to others often before we even meet them or know anything about them. It is a fine line between discernment and judgment and you do not have to be naive to let go of judgment.

Let us remember there's a great deal to respect and honor about life here even though we will continue to strive to make it better.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Allowing And Accepting - We Can Do This

How often we all feel we have the answer even if only for a moment.

There are times when I read or hear from others - things that work so well for them that I can tell that they are in the enthusiasm of the moment and I wouldn't dream of questioning it but the question that does pop up into my head when they are not so cheerful is - so, does your system work well for you? This would be a cruelty however to say because we all have downtimes don't we.

I believe that we are here to test our beliefs and our attitudes about life that we have incorporated before we have been born here. This is a testing ground and that's why it is so challenging.

This is what I've been taught and this is what I believe on the basis of my experience.

It is easy for us to be critical. Sometimes that criticism comes from our life's experience and we feel justified in providing our criticism but other times it comes from the criticism and judgment of others that we have internalized because those others were important to us at that time or have an ongoing importance to us.

Very often the challenge involved here is that we don't always remember where we assimilated our attitudes and opinions and therefore we find ourselves justifying them or further entrenching ourselves in those attitudes and opinions even though they may derive from judgments placed upon us at a time when we were more vulnerable or perhaps younger or both.

I'm not saying we must remain in constant analysis of our own motives and attitudes. I am saying however that maybe we need to cut ourselves a little slack as well as we might need to cut others some slack too.

It is a difficult world this - for us all and while it's challenging to be patient for what we want and need I believe the more patience we provide ourselves and the more patience we provide to others - not expecting them to live up to some unrealistic standard and not expecting ourselves to live up to it either will ultimately benefit us in allowing us to experience life as it happens in the present moment rather then as we've been told how it should be, how it must be.

And so, that's my thought for today. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
