The Human Experience is rife with learning opportunities. These opportunities are sometimes painful lessons that are bestowed by those who are closest to us. We learn that closeness is not commensurate with camaraderie. We want to question our actions and question ourselves, searching for any missteps that caused or may have caused the rift. Yet, the causation for the fissure may have developed from a deep dislike disguised under a façade of congeniality. This mis-occurrence is an unanticipated liberation; it elucidates that individual (or group) who (that) can be placed unbegrudgingly onto the back burner.
We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience. Living as a human affords you many chances to interact on the material plane. We (humans) are exposed to varying degrees of earth-bound stimuli. Our spiritual nature becomes bogged down by the plethora accessible distractions. Challenging is the ability put aside any to say access to f j
We learn that, at times, our friends and family are so in name only. We are genetically structured to be social. Our species would have long ago disappeared from the scene had we not homogenously banded together as a group. This ability to unify would be crucial to group or that group exhibiting a resilience to challenging situations or conditions. Yet, the human shows that with internal strife within groups becomes an issue with which the individual(s) within the group must deal.
Unlike Ceasar, we realize that our family may hold the knife at our backs. Often, the ulterior motives of those we hold close are unknown to us. We cannot surreptitiously read minds. We tend to take for granted that those who are closest to us are for us in all aspects and all righteous undertakings. However, a time will arise where the jig is up, the curtain draws back, and we are force to see the truth of a situation in it’s actual state. This can be very hurtful.
Doubt causes us to trepidatiously self-examine for any shred of fault. We can go into a self examination to determine the possibility of our having done something offensive. It is hard to imagine that someone with whom we have a bond would act in such a way that dismisses that supposed bond. Since we don’t want to accept that as a real situation, we doubt ourselves, In doing so we have cause to view our ‘own’ self as a main part of the situation. We struggle with detaching from it.
The source of the perpetrator’s well-hidden disdain may manifest from their deeper, inner recesses. We cannot really be certain about what other people may or may not be thinking about us. They may have concerns afoot that cause their perceptive capacities to negatively conceptualize us. They may view us in a negative light because we have somehow been connected to the ills that they may be currently encountering. Perhaps they need someone to blame for situations that are beyond their control. We have no idea that we are disliked until we know that we are disliked. Remember – Smiling Faces Tell Lies.
This learned lesson is ticket to the gift of freedom that we can realize. Upon coming into the knowledge of our being disliked we can proceed along with less concern. Matthew Chapter 10 verses 12 – 14 read as follows – 12 And when ye come into an house, salute it . . . 13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you . . . 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. We are admonished to not be concerned about others having aught against our person. We needs must be upright in all of our undertakings. All else can be allowed to slough off.
This situation is part of the spiritual journey. We are forced reckon with hidden self-vacuity when someone, in whom we have placed our trust, betrays us. We allow others to give substance to our existence. We subsequently fail to see that we are, within our own being, sufficient . We can be self supportive, even in the absence of one or two individuals in whom we have placed our trust We are admonished to go forward with or without the backing of (all of) those for whom we care, to whom we are attached.
