Hello world. The following was written 01/06/2018. Something interesting has been occurring and being brought into my awareness. For the last couple of days I will comment on a brother’s post and another brother will respond to my comment. When I respond to those brothers they immediately begin projecting onto me their beliefs and judgments. Then they threaten to block me if I continue to tag them in the conversation. Umm, I wasn’t tagging anyone and I wasn’t the one who made the initial contact here during these dialogues. Yet, these brothers would call me the troll, insane, sick, and twisted amongst the other derogatory labels they would hand to me as defining who I am and am supposed to be. One brother took issue with my comments about supporting our troops. Sighting how their father went to Vietnam and both their lives were damaged by it. That they refuse to be responsible for what our troops and government are doing. My response, “Therein is where your own misconception lies. You are not responsible for the choices another makes and they are not responsible for your choices either. Nothing can be done in your name unless you accept and allow Continue Reading
The fear of rejection.
Hello world. The following was written 1/6/2016. Contemplations of ACIM Workbook Lesson 6, “I am never upset for the reason I think.” I am looking at a pattern repeating itself in front of me continuously. It is a pattern of fear using manipulations of guilt and shame. The fear of being direct when asking for assistance. Fear or shame of sharing what your circumstances are. I am getting that this may be a fear of rejection being played out again and again. Why is it that we as a society cannot ask for help without trying to shame or guilt the person being asked into doing it? Why do we tend to insist on a third party as a go between? In asking these questions I am finding answers are being given to me. The use of the third party is in essence a buffer against the rejection they expect to receive. If they do not ask for it themselves then they do not have to feel that insidious pain of being rejected. What they do not perceive is the dishonesty and disservice they do to themselves and the person being asked. They are not honoring themselves or the other Continue Reading
When it comes to the child, you ARE the example from which they learn.
Hello world. The following was written 1/5/2019. I shared an article I wrote from 2016 called, “Come One, Come All, it is time to play a game called Connect the Dots.”, yesterday on multiple social media platforms. A brother responded to my article last night or this morning on Onstellar asking some questions. The following is the dialogue that transpired. A brother asks, “Greetings Sabrina I trust you are well. Please indulge me as I have wanted to ask someone that walks ACIM. What about children? Are we not responsible for them? I really want to know and at the same have been terrified to ask anyone that does this. I am being completely honest and mean no disrespect. I too know the Holy Spirit and when I listen to your words in my mind I see myself at times (often times). So I have drummed up the courage to ask. PM if best. You certainly don’t have to respond. I will not be slighted in any way. I am glad you are here. Truly” My response, “Hello brother. I keep all dialogues out in the open for all to witness. What is helpful for one may be helpful for Continue Reading
There are multiple Voices within you.
Hello world. The following was written 01/05/2018. There is a misconception being held that one should ignore their thoughts and what is being experienced in the moment. That one should ignore the pain and suffering and just think happy thoughts. That one should never look below the surface at what is experienced or question ourselves as to what we are experiencing. A brother compared the thoughts within our minds to the voices of a schizophrenic split mind. The label chosen by them points to a belief that all the voices are the same and have no purpose, reason for being, or legitimate meaning. It shows their judgments and inability to accept themselves as they are. To them there is only one voice inside that is not to be acknowledged in any way shape or form. To acknowledge that voice would be to acknowledge their reality and experiences were real and may not be what they believed them to be. They would have to accept responsibility for themselves and their own choices to judge and believe. Something to consider here is that there are multiple Voices within you. One would be the egoistic thought processes or mind that was taught to Continue Reading
