Hello world. The following was written 10/14/2017.
Something interesting has been brought into my awareness.
A brother shared, “”Discernment really is the key (to guidance)!” (T. P., ACIM student.) Right, and it requires mastery.”
My response, “What you state here is no more than a judgment of what is right and what is wrong. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Everything that happens is for our benefit. Every experience is needed. The assumption you make that discernment is mastery is a fallacy. Discernment is no more than recognizing what resonates within us as being Truth for us. Mastery is no more than a label given to an assumed level of understanding one may have of an experience.”
The person who posted this in a group had blocked me for pointing out their judgments and misconceptions. Blocking does not work in groups. Especially groups the person you blocked happens to be an admin in. All it shows is your closed minded inability to accept that someone else holds a different view than you do. It shows how YOU are the one in judgment in those moments.
Unfriending and unfollowing someone is not the same as blocking. Unfriending or unfollowing is no more than you defining what resonates for you. When a brothers way of being no longer resonates with you it is healthy to step away and change your own direction to what does resonate for you. Stepping away allows you to be you and them to be as they choose. There is no judgment coming into it in those moments.
When stepping away from a brother and choosing to go your own way question yourself on your reasoning. Are you holding a judgment in those moments of your brothers choices? What is it about their choices that you are finding yourself veering away from? Recognize where your own thoughts and beliefs are in those moments. Question that which you are choosing to do.
Blocking someone who holds a different view than you do will only enclose YOU into a box of your own making. It imprisons you and divides you with judgment. There is no need to block anyone for holding a different view than you. If what they share does not resonate with you, you do not have to listen to it, read it or even watch it. You have the ability to keep on moving bye without stopping. You are the one choosing to look and take in what your brother is experiencing for themselves. You do not have to agree with it. You do not have to like it. You do not get to judge it. It has nothing to do with you. Keep moving, keep scrolling and stop responding with your judgments of what you think they should or should not be, say and do. What you believe is on you. What they believe is theirs to deal with. The only time blocking is needed is when a brother is attacking, demeaning or labeling you or another their choices to be so believe. You are not required to stand there taking a beating for their choices to believe. You are allowed to block them and walk away.
My brothers recognize your own judgmental beliefs in play in everything you experience and perceive to be happening to you and around you. Recognize the Truth of how you are responsible for what you think you experience on an emotional, mental, and Spiritual level. Your choices to believe are what has caused you all of the pain and suffering experienced.
Were you trained to think, believe and perceive the way you do? Yes you were. Did you have a choice in this? Yes you did, even if it seems as if you did not at the time. Much of what you had to accept happened when you were a child. It is understood that many times we choose what we do for survival. An understanding comes to us, to get the pain and suffering to stop we must comply and conform in those moments as children. Yet as an adult you no longer have this excuse. You now make all the decisions for you. Why continue holding on to what you know to not be true? No one is coercing you now. In these moments you get to choose.
Whatever is learned may be unlearned and let go of. Whatever is no longer needed can be released. You no longer have to give in to what no longer resonates for you. You no longer have to accept another’s dictates to you. In all things you get to choose. No one gets to do this for you. This responsibility for choice is yours and yours solely. No one is to blame for what you are choosing for you. Consider this aspect in everything you do and this Truth will become obvious to you. You ARE responsible for YOU.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
