Lesson #47
People in ugly moods should be left alone and given an opportunity to seclude themselves when they are thus spiritually and mentally sick. This "quarantine" will prevent them from spreading an epidemic of inharmony.~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Many times i have left people when I found their moods very dark. It is really the best thing to do because you may be drawn into their darkness and react in ways that you never intended.
Recently, I have pondered over this topic and thought that I would need to look over all the SRF lessons to find out which ones dealt with magnetism 🧲 but found that those lessons were close by so I’ve read them carefully and recognize that I’ve gone through phases in my life and have been influenced by various types of magnetism. I find that some types are influenced my environment and people I encounter in this-our lives.
Many of our attractions are influenced by our culture, while at the same time I’ve had some strong pulls from the interests and talents of friends and people who I have encountered. Quite often we want to be with others so we automatically get in touch with those who are accessible to us in one way or another. Although at times we may recognize that it is important to be alone and find out just who we are and what we have become as well as what we want to be. Meditation and artistic pursuits require time alone to nurture such pursuits.
