It is indeed a  sobering moment when we recogize that everything that has happened to us, including all our feelings and attitudes, was created by we ourselves. We have two ways of  avoiding this true to life experience 1. Start making better decisions for our life. 2. Spiritual practices to eliminate the cause of  karma.

In the meantime we constantly have experiences with the results of our own actions in  our encounters with the world. The world acts as a mirror, in our encounters with others, to show us how we have treated others. In this way we can find the cause of the ignorance we see in others which acts as a mirror for ourselves: It is imperative that we look at our treatment of  those around us to see why we generate such mirrors and how we have created our own ignorance  and suffering by our treatment of those who come into our life.

On the contrary, the more love and understanding that we generate; the more we see it returning to us reflected in our encounters with others around us. I find myself looking into the ever present now more uand more instead of taking refuge in the past or living out future scenerios with hopes for the future. i ask; What can i do right  now to make my life and the life of those around me better? Hmmmm.  Yes i can watch my breath and face my attitudes here in the present.  i can reach out to those i love and give kindness to those i meet. Even though i see difficulties around me they r the challenges for my spiritual growth.

Most importantly i can offer all to God even my divine discontentment.  U seem to b opening up. Isn't that what u were saying in your last post Yoshi? All these negative feelings that u r gettting; wouldn't u say it is best to distance yourself from such people. These little 'pin pricks' do not sound very healthy for your development. u could leave contact to a minimum while going on with your own life, that is, if u r unable to distance yourself and it is something u feel u have to endure. However this seems like something u might take a serious look at. Reoccurring themes in our lives often occur because we r putting the wrong energy out and making some decisions that r not to our spiritual benefit. Discrimination is a key quality of spiritual growth and understanding. i wonder what  u and others have to offer.
