Hello world. The following was written 01/30/2018.
There seems to be a misconception being held that we are teachers or students. That one holds a hierarchy over the other. This simply is not true. We, each of us, are both the teacher and the student at the exact same time. We are equals here and no one is above or below anyone else.
In every moment we are teaching those around us who we believe we are and are supposed to be. In every moment we become an example of what it is we are choosing to believe. We do this unconsciously. In every given moment we are also the student. We are constantly taking in the stimuli around us and responding accordingly. Even in these interactions with our brothers. We take in the examples they give us and respond to them as we were taught to do.
Everything we think we know and believe in as being true has been taught to us by someone else just as it was taught to them. How do you know it is the Truth? Everything we think and believe in as defining us has been taught to us. All were handed to us in the forms of judgments and opinions or labels which were their responses to us at that time. Many of those responses were angry, violent, loud, and hurtful. We were trained to do as we are told and to not question the authority. So how do you know what you were taught was the Truth?
If you are honest with yourself you don’t. Every label you use to define you was created by someone else and given the meaning it has. Every label creates a change in how one perceives something or someone to be. That label changes its meaning even if the item in question has not changed in any way. Think about this a moment.
A couple months ago I had a brother tell me that the floor in a house and the floor in a business building are different things. One is named this and uses these products. The other is named this and uses these products. The only difference were the adhesives used and the names. The labels were different for the exact same thing that is used in the exact same way. The price for one over the other is 10 fold. All because it was given a label to change how it was perceived.
You and I are the same. We are equals in every way. The only differences between us are the beliefs and labels you have accepted and created within your own mind that separates us right now. That belief that you and those around you are different was taught to you. You accepted it and you can let it go. You do get to change your mind about what you choose to be and believe.
The only difference between us right this instant is that I no longer seek the answers outside of me. In all things I turn inward and seek Holy Spirit and my Guides within my own heart and mind. I ask questions about what they show me and the things I am or have experienced. They lay Their Truth before me and I must willingly accept it for myself before I receive the healing it brings. In all things we must ask and be willing to accept the Truth they give us. It is a choice of Free Will we make and we are the only one who may make these choices for us. No one is permitted to make any of these choices for anyone else ever.
Just a little something to consider my brothers. It was given a label to change how it was perceived.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
