Hi Rita and everybody,
You're question is not intrusive at all! This is what I find this list
is here for: exchanging on any subject related directly or indirectly to
things that may arises during our K awakening, the emergence of our
soul. I find that communication is a very fertile place for growth. I
suspected I might not have been very clear when sending that message.
Working with words is very touchy as they resonnate in each and everyone
of us in as many different ways as we are diverse as individuals. Even
with one person, two readings of a same text can vibrate differently
depending on how we are predisposed at that precise moment. If you read
my message again you might hear in it that I was not speaking of how I
feel on giving; I'll come back to this right after cause I completely
agree with you on the issue. I was concentrating on the particular
context that Lori had expressed and I wanted to let her know in my own
clumsy way that I feel for her, that I understand how a situation like
that can be upsetting as we are human after all, even if we are engaged
in a K adventure.
My own story that I was able to relate to, was with a psychotherapist
who helped me through issues and when I started seeing a massage
therapist, it was helping me so much both with my body and soul that she
had a funny reaction cause she was afraid (and perhaps got a little
jealous) that it would take away from her the reality that her efforts
had braught me to make big steps towards healing. The way I dealed with
it, of course, is by reassuring her completely about her competence,
that her work and efforts were not in vain nor threatened but her
generous persistence and patience got me through alot.
I am one who believes very much in giving and expressing gratitude that
I experience towards all that is around me. When K brings one to become
a more vivid observer and curious spirit, there's much to be grateful
for. I believe that sometimes by simply surrendering to a feeling of
gratitude towards something or someone, being all part of the same
Consciousness, the message of appreciation goes out anyway, if by the
nature of the situation it is not always possible to put it in words and
send it out (i.e. the tree next to my house that offers me shade and a
concert hall for a multitude of birds to sing by my window...).
Another example I could give is an encounter I had this week with a
house inspector. He is an honest man who loves his work and even goes
the extra mile by adding a touch of humor in a context that could
otherwise be a tense one. We were very satisfied of his services and I
found it very important to not only give him his cheque but also give
him a little extra by letting him know what I felt: we were happy with
his work, appreciated his competence and honest work efforts and humor
and told him that it shows that he loves his job. Expressing this was
important to me and he was visibly very touched my my words.
I follow my heart. Speaking from our heart can be powerful: we have the
ability to give by saying just a few words that can mean the world to
somebody else. It's magnificent! Surprisingly enough, it's not something
that appears to be a very popular practice in the world we live in...
well, not enough in my opinion anyway... Giving. It's so simple and can
nurture so much.
Concerning the bit about a piece of peace, what I meant was that for all
the good that one is experiencing, I believe there is an instantaneous
exchange of things, an expanded consciousness between everyone and
everything which is alive and in constant movement. I feel that we're
sharing with everyone in every moment. So for those who are more
insecure and don't really trust in this, I truly believe that even if
they don't always manage to feel it, they are already not only getting a
piece of the cake but in an ever greater way, they are a part of the
whole cake itself! But we who now through the grace of our expanding
cousciousness that K brings us, we who do see and believe in the greater
picture can certainly embrace them lovinly.
If one crosses the path of someone who seems eager for recognition and
approval and as a result makes one uncomfortable in the situation (and
this is what I was thinking of in fact when writing my post), I meant to
say to remember what I mentioned just above and not feel guilty about
not delivering immediately what one is claiming. In a case like you
exposed I would say to follow your heart. It is the path to your truth.
I could go on and speculate about why perhaps as you said you believe
this person doesn't seem to want your thanks or recognition. It could be
a thousand things combined. If you think that a direct aproach could
make this person uncomfortable and choose to respect this person's wish,
you can still do this by respecting your own heart too at the same time
by finding a way to express your gratitude as their are an infinaty of
ways to send out your message. Things have a way to get around anyway.
You can also just wait patiently for the right moment to express youself
to arise. Don't worry, it will come and you'll know exactly what the
best way to deal with it will be.
It's been a pleaseure sharing with you,
Peace, Love, Light and Laughter!
