Life is a kind of mirror, a school of souls if you will, reflections of
that in ourselves which we love, and that which we need to improve on.
It's up to each of us to understand the purpose of these lessons, and
that's the intricacies of discovering our path. We're all like giant
points of attraction, there is a certain symbolical nature to life, like
a dream.
So for example, years ago I examined all of my friends, and close
family, and found them all to be comedians, literally, I was around
'funny people'. The lesson here was, bring out the funny in me, lighten
the load, chill out, enjoy the humorous side of life. For much of last
year, I've had a succession of people that demanded 'patience' come into
my experience, and therefore, I am going to assume that the lesson I
needed to learn, is to be more patient, which I worked on exhaustively
last year..
If a person comes into your experience that does things that are
pleasing to you, and around you, then these are teachers there to show
you an aspect of yourself that you aren't aware of, or need to
cultivate. If someone appears that does something that infuriates you,
consistently, then these are teachers to show you aspects of yourself
that aren't in control, and need addressing. I know a lady(not on this
list) that is very antagonistic, and thinks everyone is a smartass, when
in reality, she's the one that has a highly antagonistic tone, and is
being shown aspects of herself that aren't in harmony, and need
addressing. If someone is opinionated, and bossy, they will find these
aspects all around them, people they meet will appear so. That's the
riddle of life, the great dissonance that precludes true understanding
of this process, our ancestors understood, we do not.
An example of this, one day a few weeks ago I was in a hurry, rushing
around, and feeling rushed, and in the mood to push people out of my way
to get what I needed to get done. I took my son to Subway for a bite to
eat, but on the way there, I was bombarded with a succession of cars
cutting me off, or swerving into my lane. At Subway, there was a pushy
lady with pushy kids behind us, pushing us away from ordering, being
totally obnoxious, screaming into her cell phone, and acting like she
was a pharoah or something. I realized fairly quickly, this is what I
was resonating with, and therefore, this is all I would attract. I
changed my frequency - like a radio station to be one of love, and those
hurried, arrogant people were replaced by compassionate ones. The people
didn't disappear, they just sort of collected with another set of people
or persons, their paths did not cross mine any longer. This is, the
power of intention, it's a survival skill, a great teacher.
Once this process is understood, you can become a great counselor for
others, because finding the things that need addressing is simply a
matter of looking at what is happening around them, then pointing the
symbology out to them for addressing. Sometimes, we find that physical
symptoms are great teachers as well, and that symptoms can often be
indications of emotions, or thoughts that need addressing. One of the
greatest health tonics available, is to understand this, accept
responsibility for it, and stop handing power over to specific
pathogens. They are there to address something, not the cause, the
result of. A compost bin attracts bacteria not because it is a compost
bin, but because of the rotting trash inside of the compost bin.

don't consider some of your beliefs to be in any way either logical or
possible, but have refrained from saying so because I believe we are all
entitled to believe what we want. Kindly just carry on believing what you
want, but allow me to do the same. dee
