PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

When we travel on our spiritual journeys, we are on a quest to learn about ourselves and change within.  Through this journey we begin to unfold and learn about ourselves through others and our experiences.  There are many layer to this unfolding, and as we reveal each layer of ourselves, we view ourselves and our world in a different way.

For the past two years, I have changed so dramatically.  I was hypercritical, judgmental, and angry toward myself and others.  I realized what has changed in my world is me. When I was unable to feel empathy earlier, I can see the good in others now, including their courage, kindness, compassion that they offer.  I am able to see this because my perceptions have changed.  I have learned self love as well, in that I am kinder, more compassionate, and more loving toward myself.

I also have come to realize that I don’t need to run away and abandon relationships and friendships because my perceptions of those interactions have changed.   I do not find that these people may hurt, injury, or abandon me.  When we change ourselves within, our world around us changes. This is the great lesson that I have learned recently.

I can see clearly now that the cloud has lifted, and I see through clearer lenses about myself and my world.  I can see the positive and negative in myself, and through these lenses, I can see the positive and negative in others. Because I now better understand and accept the negative in myself, I understand and accept the negative in others.  These perceptions are what has changed within me that allows me to love others unconditionally.  It is through true acceptance that we can love others who are completely different than us, and appreciate all that they offer in our lives and our world.

As my quest continues, I will reveal more about myself and my world to myself.  Although this has been an arduous and difficult journey, I do not regret one day or one minute of what I have learned.  Blessings and light to you, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spririt with All Rights Reserved)
