Mmmmm Well I am sitting here as I contemplate what to write today, turning over ideas and inspirations while trying to find the perfect fit for you the reader. What is it that will help you have the most amazing day. What can I write that will uplift you or inspire a brighter perspective or foster some peace joy and love in your heart to better prepare you to face these days in this world.
These days that at times are so richly abundant with the random hostility gifted at times to us due to the inability of some to process stress in fair or effective manners and so they turn into bullies. Surely there is indeed a space on this earth for even the most obtuse of bullies as they do serve a fine, albeit it painful at times purpose on this earth.
You see bullies to me they have always taught me of the value of my own self. Of the strength I have and the intelligence I can access to garner protection or the swift result I may be seeking. My swift results are almost always rooted within the desire for the greater good of all. Oftentimes this aligns with my own singular desires as well as I have found that in aligning my own perspective with that of a greater good, a universal purpose and stepping back from my own isolated and singular perspective that I allow for greater outcomes and miracles to occur.
We should not allow the actions of others to affect us for longer then the moment that we are forced to endure the occurrence of them. Follow your instincts even in the midst of great chaos and you will find a pathway through. You can face tremendous odds but if you relax a tiny bit into the flow of the experience you can flow through whatever obstacles may present themselves to you. We have to release the pain of these encounters with forgiveness because it can be stated with all honesty that those who act in manners that impact those around them in negative or painful manners truly don’t realize the totality of what their shallow actions truly mean. If they did they wouldn’t do it.
Even the most hardcore of gangsters would never act in manners causing others pain if they could only realize that in doing this they were seeding this in themselves and their own life path. That every single intention we set and then fuel with the power of our emotions on any level ripples throughout time and also echo their way back to the doorstep of their origination at some eventuality. The realization of this would instantly dissolve any illusion of “hardcore” because then you realize that the battle being engaged in is against none other then yourself. This could make it a much more difficult battle or an easier one depending on the level of thought process and priorities that have been set up within the individual.
There is a healthy way to stand firm in your own experience when faced with an individual that would choose to take some form of illusory power attempting to bully or intimidate you. That is to simply stand. Stand tall or short or medium height but stand to the fullest of that which you have to muster in the truth and don’t budge from that. The truth is like a protective shroud. Lies bounce off of it but it must be the entire truth. Omission of anything is not conducive to protection. An awareness of ones own frailty and imperfection is necessary if one would so choose to allow the truth to be a protection. A humility in ones own ego must be supported with sincere commitment towards self improvement.
You see a bully is only a valiant warrior on the darker side of the fence after all. The battle that a bully engages in is a singular battle to support the illusion of their own egos desires and that is the truth of it. A valiant warrior fights a battle also only the one they fight leaves their ego at the door and picks up a mantle of the greater good. Still both end up in a battle. A battle where victory becomes somewhat tiresome although the valiant warrior has the encouragement of making the path easier for any who may tread it behind them whereas a bully would be like the person on the path in front of you that smacks you perpetually with branches they spring load as they walk past them. Which would entertain a bully because they would get a kick out of suffering whereas a true valiant warrior would cringe at having inflicted unnecessary pain.
I myself have known many bullies and have had the joy of encountering a few of them recently. I am or would like to think of myself as more of the valiant warrior type but I loath all battles. Because the essence of a battle is tiresome to me and sure victory is nice but I don’t want to fight to win in the first place. I’m the one who tries to make the path smoother or softer for those who may walk it behind me for the sheer fact that I would choose to not have others suffer as I have, even if suffering is necessary at times. We grow when we suffer but I struggle with my own ego when I want to try to lessen the salty burden that washes this earth and can be so abundant these days.
I have an eternal mothering spirit and I want to hold the world when it falls and scrapes its proverbial knee. I want to love everything back to joy and peace and I want people to be kind, honest and sincere. Not at some point in the future but today, right now, this second. It is truly the only path forward and it is inevitably the one we will end up on. That said, there are many varying routes to this inevitable outcome and some of them are rockier then others undoubtedly.
There is a reason that in all the great religions one can find a common theme of essentially “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” because what you do unto others is what you do unto you. Always.
May your day be blessed with joy, peace, love, beauty, inspiration and healing and may you walk each step forward creating the ripples upon this earth of a peaceful change and a gentle shift. May you feel love in your moments of sorrow. May the angels hold your heart when your soul cries to the heavens and may you never have to shed those tears lonely. May your ancestors hold your soul when the world may wish for it to shatter or may even do it’s best to shatter it and may your core stay lit as bright as the sun still eternally shining despite what others may prefer in their own shallow darkness.
I love you all
