So many of us are less frightened of acting aggressive than we are of acknowledging our deeper feelings.
To acknowledge how vulnerable we feel underneath.
The thing is that unless we find the courage to feel some degree of vulnerability,
We won't make any spiritual progress really.
I didn't even know it was allowed to come from the deeper feeling,
My deeper understanding.
It took me years to realize that really actually I didn't have a choice,
I had to.
So the more we can turn and face our lives,
The gentler life will go with us.
In my experience,
Life gets harsh with us when we're running from our truth or if we have a great deal of defensiveness,
Sometimes life has to really whack us to get us to pay attention.
But once we turn and start facing it,
Facing ourselves,
Life goes very soft and the universe supports us.
This has been my experience.
Now there are some times we could say,
Okay I'm turning to face my life,
Okay universe goes soft with me.
And if we're too bossy and we're telling the universe what to do out of fear,
That won't work.
But if we just play with the idea that the universe will support us.
Play with the idea like a little child hoping for the best.
Life loves us,
Our true energy loves us with all its heart and soul,
Like so much more than we could ever imagine.
And it's like a parent with us,
So if we're running from ourselves and we're hurting ourselves and hurting others,
Life will get harsh with us.
But if we even just a glimmer of being willing to turn and acknowledge your own humanity and acknowledge your vulnerability,
Those vulnerable feelings that are really the scared child within you,
The little child who didn't feel that well loved maybe,
Who didn't feel that he or she could really tell the truth and be heard,
Who kind of just gave up and thought it's not possible to be in my true energy.
But it is possible,
But you know fear will come up and feelings of hopelessness like it will be a clearing of the child's hopelessness as you find out that you can,
If you're consistent,
If you stay at it,
Never give up.
Finally you will start to feel how deeply the universe supports you and loves you.
You know I promise this and I started out with just a huge ego.
Then I had a really rocky start and I surfaced because I've surfaced and become a teacher because the universe is loving and you know my life proves it,
It's proved it to myself anyway.
And then I get to share with whoever wants to listen which is just my idea of a very good time.
Okay bless your hearts.
