Hatred whether spewed directly at us or emailed to us can be extremely unsettling.
But in the moment we feel that seeming unstoppable lure to react, in that very moment we catch ourselves reacting, we can pause and pray, or simply put: stand and defend what IS in control and governing each and all moments.
And in that pause and pray mode, we can free ourselves from the effect of any evil shown to us.
Here I write out a bit of what it sounds like in thought…
~~~~~~~~~
In the heat if the moment having just read a malicious email accusation, the pull toward anger is huge and intense.
Enter… shock and anger speak:
No way!!!
She did NOT just do that!
She did not just spew out acaustic attacking bitter snears of hatred toward me…via email no less.
Who does she think she is?
This is me she is speaking to!!!!!
ME who’s done this and that and that for her time and time again…
ME who’s given her dozens of hours of listening and support and just being there for her…off the clock.
ME who’s helped her in the wee hours…
ME!!
How could SHE treat ME this way???
The nerve
She’s out of her mind!
This is the thanks I get for helping this neighbor out?
Thats it…I’m so done!
~~~~~~~~~~
Indeed, we may well find ourselves consenting to the pulls to feel infuriated, especially when we are convinced there is no basis for the criticism or when it comes out of nowhere…
But even amidst the tense lure to stay infuriated, we can pause and pray…regroup…refuse to be mentally hijacked, take a thought hiatus from all thats just happened, and tune thought back into what is really going on.
Enter: the wise nudge of Love reminding me to get a hold of my thought and advocate what is true, what is really going on…
I am all
you embody me
No spear or knife of vicious malicious words can touch you ever.
You reflect ME
No evil can penetrate that reflection, forever bond.
ALL are my image and likeness, now.
You cannot be marred by any false sense of wo/manhood from another.
Your thought is filled with my ideas and nothing– no lure toward anger shock frustration or fear can sway you disturb you or distract you…ever.
All that is going on right now is MY Being…and all expressing all MY ideas.
Anything unlike me has no base, is not anyone’s true nature, and cannot be made to have an impact.
Do not stand aghast at the nothing.
You are my daughter.
She is my daughter.
She will feel my love.
You can only know my love.
Stay there: safe, untouched, unwounded, free
~~~~~~~~
Enter: enlightened thought (mine)
I know I am an expression of good, this moment.
My thought cannot be made to react resent regret nor repel any good shown me, nor can my thought be moved from this place of calm.
I am unmoved by the verbal tone and meaning of bitterness, aggression, hatred, disgust.
Each of the children of Love reflect this goodness always and cannot be made to be slaves to emotions.
No one wants to lend their thought to emotions and act so foreign to his or her natural inclinations.
And I can see the true essence and nature of this neighbor untouched by the evil facade.
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is only a glimpse of how I pray to thwart the lures to resent, justify being angry and shocked, and heal the sting of attack.
Sometimes this thought work can have an immediate impact. Sometimes I have to work in thought like this for hours or days after feeling wrongly accused. Sometimes deleting the sting of another’s attack takes years.
But there is ALWAYS healing, no matter how long it takes…
The consciousness of Love and our oneness to it is a mighty refuge, a safe haven, a practical right now thought hub we are each dwelling in.
Thank you for taking moments to read this post. If you are struggling in your heart about malicious words shown you, either virtually or in person, and you want to learn how to roll up your thought sleeves and work to gain your safe back and restore your unmoveable stance, plus just feel your innate innocence and worth again, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
