Allowing Them to Allow Me

I've had the most amazing week, with many new ways of seeing, and today I really got the idea of feeling discord from looking at things not wanted and knowing that a desire has been born from it, and looking for the actual desire, then following it to fruition. That's the idea.

Here's the experience. I felt the discord from not being understood or valued, and didn't even realize until this morning that I was feeling that. Then after exploring that feeling a bit, I realized that it was there to lead me to the desire that actually was being answered. So the desires were for 1) people to value me whether they understand me or not; 2) people to be able to think differently than I had noticed them doing; 3) me to be able to allow others to allow me. Case in point -- in parts of Asia, there are holy men who required to go out in the streets and beg for food. Some of them wear their robes, and others do not. But in that place, the people who see the beggars cannot tell who is actually a priest or a beggar, so they assume the best about the beggars they see. Can you see something like that happening here? We recently saw a movie about a guy who graduated from college then went on the road, ditched his car, and lived the life of a street person. He was extremely intelligent, charismatic, generous and spiritual. But no one who saw him would be able to tell any of that about him unless they looked beyond the surface.

The point of this explanation is that I must be able to allow people to look at me with understanding and/or value if I actually want to live the benefit of the desire that I have launched. Not only that, I must tap out the thoughts that keep me from allowing that (check out Robert G. Smith's Faster EFT). Then I must put myself in the position of expecting what I want to experience.

What a great tool! Now when I experience anything that is less than what feels good, I have a way to bring it around to benefit me rather than just putting up with it and thinking that because it involves other people, I have no power over my experience.

Have a great one,
Renae
