Hi! We are Susan Wright and Wolfgang Lettow, founders of Beacon Of Life (www.beacon-of-life.com) and authors of Weekly Wisdom, a weekly e-newsletter. We are thrilled and honored to be part of the Lightworker Spectrum of Light!Something happened the other day that upset me. Without going into the details of the situation, I can talk about the emotions that presented for me.
I felt anger, frustration, and a deep desire to teach someone a lesson - because that someone is messing with a friend of mine. I also had the feeling of 'not wanting to get into trouble', and worrying that I may have said something that might come back to bite either me, or my friend.
My stomach was churning and my mind was racing with imagined conversations about right and wrong, liability, victim mentality, envy, and the habit that some people have of blaming others for the outcome of their own actions. It was not a fun way to spend an hour.
But then Wolfgang reminded me that none of this stuff matters: the only thing that matters is how I feel. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, because right and wrong are subjective opinions. And when I step back and look at the big picture, and remember that we are eternal beings; then I remember that nothing can truly harm me; or my friends and loved ones.
Can someone harm my body? Yes, but I am not my body, and I am not limited by my body's limitations. Can someone take my "stuff"? Sure, but it's only stuff and can either be replaced or I can live without it. Can someone smear my reputation? Absolutely, but what others think about me is really none of my business anyway.
So, with Wolfgang's help, I refocused myself to adjust how I was feeling. I told my higher levels (God, the Universe) to 'take command' of the situation. Every time that my stomach would tighten or my mind would race, I would silently say; "Take command. Take Command. Take command." I consciously forgave everyone involved, and energetically disconnected from the situation.
It has been several days since this first came up, and I have been feeling pretty peaceful about it. Every time something comes up, I surrender command of my life (including this situation) to my higher levels, and I ask them to show me what's next. Then I go on with my day. I give my attention to those things that require my attention, and put everything else on God's "to do" list.
It is great to feel at peace, and to know that this feeling is always available to me.
Namaste!
Susan
