“Teach Me How?” Blog #105
Do I wake up today and think differently?
Did I put in place the tools I desperately need now?
Have I complete confidence in using my “Higher Self” approach?
So here’s a thought I just learned, ”things that bother me about other people are actually
inadequacies with myself”. It’s like looking in the mirror. It’s like seeing myself in others and
not being able to take it! If there is a part of me that has not taken on healing, I will SEE
this in other people around me. How to fix it?
Face it head on and say to self, “there but for the grace of God, go I. I do not judge that
person and I forgive them for whatever pain I have been caused. I let it all go now. It’s
fascinating to see and take in and try to understand what issues plague me daily? Do I
procrastinate? Am I putting off doing all the the necessary things that can help heal me
internally? This is a very big task. So many parts of my life ARE intertwined with other
people. Without realizing it when I judge their behavior, I am actually hurting myself. I
must realize that each one of us is on our own path. NO time for judgement because we
are here for two reasons only,
I am here to learn my own lessons and teach myself GOODNESS.
I I am here to help others IF they are open to it.
Every day I must do good things for my body, mind and my spirit. When I am stuck,
it’s because I am focusing on things that I myself cannot fix! This is where prayer,
and quiet, and the LIGHT OF THE LORD takes over. It’s essential I am KIND to myself.
When I worry and stress, I abuse myself internally and everything else around me
looks and feels and is different! I can’t do both things…… I can’t say that I will GIVE it
God and then worry. However, that is a big decision. This all revolves on how deep IS
my faith. What am I doing daily to improve it? I must read more inspiring books. IF
I don’t have them right now accessible, I can research anything that is inspirational,
uplifting and healing… ON-LINE. The mind is powerful and only me alone can protect
myself from the dangers of outside interference. So, I start with a powerful prayer:
“Today Lord, I thank you for giving me the helmet of higher self awareness. Thank you
Lord for insulating me in the spiritual steel armor of protection internally and externally
throughout my being, from this moment on.”
Now I AM fully protected inside and outside from all negative forces.
“When the student is ready, a teacher appears”. What in the world does this even mean?
Believe it or not, it is time for me to say to myself, “am I constantly in the the learning
process?” Just because I am out of school for years, does not mean I am not meant to
keep learning. I believe that all people around me are my teachers for different reasons.
Maybe I need to learn about gentleness and kindness and caring. I will therefore be put
into place with a person that is the opposite of this! They are cold, indifferent and not
approachable. Why is this? Most of all, the teacher within me, Jesus, shows me what I
NEED TO DO!
FOR IT IS NOT ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE, IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT ME. AM I GENTLE, AND KIND AND
CARING? IF SO, MAYBE THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES AT PLAY HERE. All the things that I am
missing are brought to the surface. Suddenly I desperately want what I cannot have.
However, forgiveness for others and self happens in a breath. We can bring it to the
surface, smile accept the “teaching moment”, learn from it, and MOVE ON. That is really
the extent of it, nothing more. Every single day is a lesson to learn from. Each of us is on
our own path and we need to learn from our pain and suffering and then grow from it.
Once we realize all things problematic are internal, I need to strive for my own inner
peace” Then nothing can disturb my sense of calm. Absolutely not one thought, or one
thing or one person.
IF we are constantly in the learning process, we accept readily all the difficulty with
another person who is trying to “push our buttons” as a RED ALERT. I know when I am
staying in a teachable moment by being curious, helpful and above all, humble. I am NOT
in a teachable moment if I am on the defense, self guarded, and ready to argue. This
always pushes people away. Above all, at this point, I may be given the lesson I am
suppose to be learning, yet I do not see it with anger around. When I am around another
human being that is close to me, do I ask myself internally, “What is my intention and
purpose for my relationship with this person?” IRONICALLY HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
POINT I WANT TO MAKE,
I CAN ONLY LEARN MY LESSONS THAT I AM MEANT TO LEARN EACH DAY IF I AM OPEN,
READY AND RECEPTIVE TO THE LESSON THAT IS COMING TO ME.
I have always believed that I am constantly creating situations for myself that present
opportunities to learn the most powerful lessons. Most often the highest teachable
moment comes in my sadness, my pain and my desperation. This is where I am able to
search internally the hardest!
IF I REALLY WANT TO DISARM ANOTHER PERSON COMING AT ME IN THEIR ANGER, I CAN
IMMEDIATELY HUMBLE MYSELF. I CAN BE KIND. I STAY APPROACHABLE. THEY ARE SUDDENLY
CAUGHT OFF GUARD.
Remembering that I have a firm grasp on only speaking truth in any situation I encounter.
This is how I will always be in a “teachable mode”. I am open to learning MY OWN LESSONS,
NO MATTER HOW PAINFUL, NO MATTER HOW HARD, NO MATTER HOW OFTEN.
It’s really essential for me to believe that in order for me to “be open to teaching”. I must
take a big step back from all the thoughts going around in my head. Every day can be the
same old “song and dance” until we change the music. All of my habits daily are formed
by my routine. I must be open to positive change.
I am powerful in spiritual knowledge that my Lord stands at the helm of my ship and
only HE “sets my sail”.
So one of the greatest lessons I can now teach myself is in healing my inner self, I DO NOT
JUDGE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. Each of us is on our own learning path. Then the paradox
exists in my asking myself this….before I can be in a “teachable moment”, am I ready to
release all the fear of my past?
There is a powerful poem in the book;
A GIFT OF PEACE. Jeremy P. Tarcher
HEALING
Peace must come to those who choose to heal and not to judge. The decision to
heal and to be healed, is the first step to recognizing what you truly want.
Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought brings peace closer
Healing will flash across your open mind, as peace and truth arise,
to take the place of war and vain imaginings.
No one can ask another person to be healed. But he can let HIMSELF be healed.
And thus offer the other person what he has received.
Who can bestow on another person what he does not have?
And who can share what he denies himself?
Those whom you heal bear witness to your healing,
for in their wholeness you will see your own,
Our function is to let our minds be healed, that we may carry healing to the world,
exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation for the peace of God.
All this above, I want to day teach myself and believe in my goodness and learn my
lessons one day at a time.
Can I be open to the teachings of HIM and my higher self awareness?
