This is liberating! How many ways, in how many circumstances and with how many relationships would change on a dime if we acknowledge that these people are here to wake us up! To help us step out of our fear, to confront our own insecurities, and to look within to find every need! And we are here for them to do the same. How much deeper can we feel the connection when we remember with ancient eyes the purpose for these divine relationships!
Those that hurt us the most, whose words and actions wound us, those that challenge us to find answers, are our greatest teachers. Our greatest teachers!
Ultimately we awaken from the self imposed prison of ego and climb the emotional scaffolding toward release. This scaffolding serves as the platform from which to repair the old waste places in consciousness. It allows us to navigate upward to where we may see the weathering from our participation in resisting the inevitable… a renaissance that requires appreciation of every scar and impediment to our wholeness. Yes our dark ages SERVE us.
We realize there is a time appointed when we are finished being baptized under the dense waters of human reason and the accompanying egocentric execution and we arise.
Eckhart Tolle says this: "If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose for living."
