Name-Calling

My Selves have been calling me names lately. Friends, On-lookers, Lovers, Pagans have been calling me a mystic, a weirdo and a witch. I take these as major compliments and while I was receiving these messages I recognized that I was attracting/creating them. In my mind, there is nothing wrong with the words but I knew that some of the messengers had no intention of uplifting me with these words LOL!

Now, Christianity defines witchcraft as manipulation... and I was called a manipulator and likened to a snake on one account. (I love the snake! She is a goddess-symbol lol) But I felt hurt at the time & the experience took me back to my Christianity days - showing me things that need to be cleared! (I'm blessed because otherwise I may not have realized that I still harbored -within my subconscious mind - some contempt for magick/natural power & universal laws. These things undoubtedly were holding me back from stepping fully and permanently into my Power). The one speaking was someone I respect deeply and care for. I haven't stopped caring and respecting(lol) even though I am withdrawn, at this time. I love him. He has been a compassionate teacher and I do not blame my teachers for the understandings our Spirits have agreed to heighten our perceptions to. In other words, I am the one who needed to learn. He was humble, wise, beautiful and noble enough to teach me. I am sincerely grateful & I feel honored.

On my part, one thing I noticed I was doing as I started to feel ill-emotions was my trying to figure out what he was thinking. I told him later what I thought he was thinking which was that I was a witch who was trying to manipulate him and ruin his life. That is very difficult to say without sharing the situation. I can only say that now the accusation is funny and clearly my friend thinks highly of himself and was speaking from a place of deep fear & intense insanity. (His Will supporting all of this for the purpose of teaching & learning - certainly). We love him still lol!

So, in thinking his thoughts I began to feel his emotions and then I began to experience good ole shame & guilt... I thought I left these behind with religion but I guess not...!

So, I learned... never to try to think someone else's thoughts especially since (as this case has shown) their thoughts may be INSANE, ignorant, fearful and blaming. No one thinks inside my mind but me. No one thinks inside your mind but you! Though, there are times when your other Selves enter your orbit for the "Soul Purpose" ;-) of helping you co-create something.

I also learned that I must have patience with people who are transitioning out of their programming.. of which the "Victim-Villain Paradigm" is a major part. Surely, I am still clearing these patterns-of-thought or I would not need these teachings/experiences. Lastly, that particular connection has shown me something that many others that are happening now are showing me!... They are showing me what I DON'T WANT TO BE/HAVE/DO... And so, these experiences are simultaneously clarifying what I do want to be/have/do.

I am deeply grateful, uplifted, inspired & awake.
Love you! Mean it,
Ciao
