Special Words

In my "Spring Cleaning" this article popped up a couple of times. I've read it over 3 or 4 times, when it was written or by whom has long been forgotten.

I was reading an article today called "Special Words" by Florence Steiner. This is the first time I had ran across any of her writing's and hopefully it won't be the last.

It was a short Article and dealt with lessons of this life-time and our "free-will" to be kind to one another. I thought It to be a excellent article. I have attached it here for you to read as well.

There are lessons we have to learn while in the physical body. God gave us a "free will" and some do not choose to be kind and not hurting. We are not all in the same dimension here either ... some of us are older souls who have learned many lessons but are still learning and some are young souls or even older souls, that have never learned their lesson to be kind and not demeaning to another one of God's souls and they are not where you are ... that is why I say "walk away"and you told me that Jesus said this too.

As I was saying to my son just today, you can talk about this to others and it is like you are speaking another language and they have no idea what you are saying because they are not there "yet"!!!! I have a saying that once a client actually asked me to write it down for her. Here it is:

YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO

Whenever you feel hurt by someone say this to yourself or even out loud away from the person because it will be a put-down to them and it will make you feel better for you are putting things into form and order as they really are. Remember the bully would not feel the need to bully if he loved himself as God wants us to. You really cannot love another until you feel love in your own soul. Once you find love in your own soul you can actually emit it out to others with no trouble whatsoever. I catch myself smiling at strangers in the grocery store. Some do not smile back but I must say most do for they feel the warmth I am emitting to them. The ones who cannot smile back and give you that certain glare I say to myself "poor man or woman, you must be miserable with yourself".

Can you feel this?

What I found most interesting was one line

YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO

It made me stop and REALLY think. More over, it hit my spirit like a ton of bricks, knocking me down off my man-made, self-induced pedestal. I thought about this and here's what I came up with pertaining to my life.

• I have always been kind to strangers and not so close friends
• I am usually kind to my friends but have tendencies to blow up at them if things aren't going as I expect.
• I tend to run a status quo to my closest friends.
• I have it in me to be kind but find myself to be manipulating more often than not. I'm the one who needs to be in control
• I am never kind to my self.
• I find judgementalness over being an observer and allowing the universe to guide and direct me in healing those areas in my life.

I started out my listing this way on purpose. Most of us deal with outside influences first and then if were lucky we work our way in. I am no exception, it's easier to deal with STUFF on the outside than to stop, observe why we do the things we do, and then listen to our guides, teachers, and most important our inner being, our higher self.

Notice how as I get closer to the root of the problem the more I throw into the wind the very thing I need most in my life. Why is this, am I not worthy to show kindness to me. What has caused this belief pattern which until today was unconscious?

For a long time, this very issue has been gnawing at me and I've been trying to figure out what needed healing and why. This article hit the issue on the head. I've always known that to love others you have to love yourself and that love radiates from your very core. I know that this love is also always there but we tend to be unconscious of it. We are too busy to stop and just observe ourself, our actions, or lack of them.

In dealing with issues very dear, brought me to this point. I was dealing guilt, expectancies, unworthiness, and a overall sense of not loving myself. Then, as usual, synchronicity brought to me these words.

YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO

WHOA, how true. The issues at hand and those involved matched perfectly. Each of us could say this to each other but as mentioned in the article, we more than likely wouldn't have heard the true meaning or understood what the other was saying. Why, we (and I will change that to I, as I can not speak for the others) were too close to the situation. I had certain expectancies, I had certain beliefs, I was the one feeling pain and causing hurt, both past and present.

I was in judgment of my self. And yet, at the same time, I could have easily said to the others:

"YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO"

through discernment and listening to my intuition, which was muffled by my own fears, hurts, and pains. This temporal muffling of my voice (inner spirit) though has all to much experience in what this lesson is about, who's where, and what is what. It knows, and knows the outcome based on our decisions, it is the True I and lives in the eternal NOW, guiding and directing us if we/I let it through "free-will"

I can hear you now, "Are you sure you could have said this?" The answer, a resounding yes, yes, yes I can. Each of us put out a energy field that is receptive to those around us. We each take in and give out energy constantly, whether the energy is from a source of love or through fears. Are we giving off energy of love or fear, or is it a mixed energy that resonates back and forth.

They say love and fear cannot reside in the same place, I agree. But one thing I think many of us don't consider is that we are use to dealing with time moving forward and don't (or won't) stop to remember that all we really have is the Eternal Now, the everlasting present. So while I agree that love and fear cannot reside in the same place at the same moment, that does not mean that in one instance we might be giving love and then react to a cause and our energy turns to that of fear.

Is it possible then for a group to interact and each be able to say

YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO

I believe so. Why, each of us are unique individuals traveling this earth school both individually and as companions. We are all on different plains, levels of lessons to learn and to those which still remain. And this is where we( I )must understand that while we( I ) may want to help out someone in someway, they may not be ready or receptive of our offer. It is also possible that they are the ones whom are trying to help us in changing our belief system.

This I believe is why I love this saying"YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO". It presents to us the fact that we discern and yet still know that we have much yet to learn. It is also why change must come from within us, we cannot change another's viewpoint or belief, only they can do that. We can teach and guide but it is up to the student to apply this knowledge to heart.

As teachers we first apply and live the knowledge and as so we can then teach our students from experience (The best kind of teaching) then we ask our students to repeat the process. So the cycle continues the teacher becomes the student to apply the knowledge in their heart so that they then can teach from a unique perspective. Kind of neat if you ask me.

STUFF in my life and the sentence YOU ARE WHERE I ONCE WAS AND I HAVE FURTHER YET TO GO I see a cycle and it is of love. These are my thoughts, I'd love to hear yours
