I have a domineering sister. It has created quite the separation. We try to be civil, and at times I find myself in disagreement with her energy. Yet I must find a way, and this means even surrendering some of my preferred comforts and chastising my own Ego in order to provide a better service when the time calls for it. I failed recently with our most recent exchange. I allowed her harshness to disturb me during what was meant to be a family game. This means I lost sight of the greater picture. At times what we call discomfort is really two conflicting ego's... I don't have any solutions other than to turn to God for help and guidance. Prayer, patience and compassion.
Quite often you speak in vague generalities Eric which makes it challenging to respond to your given situation. And perhaps you are not even looking for a response. We have noticed parallel lines occurring with similar life lessons in the past. Most likely because of prayers for one another and others here on the site. I have noticed harsh responses from friends and have found that at times when I was able to ignore them I found the supportive help from a divine source in attempting to develop weak character qualities and abilities in my own personality. I’m not responsible for the karma or the ego problems of others. Only my own.
I have found it is important to recognize that most people do not have a guru and have not even begun the journey that we have to transform our egos into a higher vibration so we are talking about many life lessons surrounded in misery for them until they find their given. We are fortunate to be on the path with the blessings of spiritual discipline and wisdom in all our life experiences given by the Masters.
