I didn’t enroll in the class
I didn’t even sign up
You know the one:
The class that teaches how to let the self steer or otherwise you’ll be seen as an eff up…
I never subscribed to the masters degree of “me”
because early on the inner nudge took hold of my reigns and insisted:
“Divine Love is how you are to journey.”
When you strive to live love ~
You don’t seek self gain..
You strive deeply to know and defend Love is steering all by the law of harmony.
What this means is that no surface story you believe is the true…
And no one’s summation of their now is what you believe is the verdict through and through.
And while there is a strength of conviction you hold in what you know is steering?
Others — self seekers especially– interpret you as having your head in the clouds almost regularly.
But you don’t.
You aren’t.
And you are never “just” day dreaming.
Instead, you are devoting every moment to seeing through others’ seeming…
Yet this is deep thought work
And takes consistent focus…
And often when around self seekers
Their tones and gestures catch you off guard in the midst…
For you aren’t always able to give a clear concise answer within their milli-second time frame.
And you know they’ve locked themselves into this process because, according to their belief, the more they check off their to-do list,
the more — for themselves — they gain.
And you greet the day with gratitude in awe of the wonder of life…
When another’s displaced receipt is cause for a destroyed morning and much strife.
And you may announce “hello” or “good morning” while breathing the wind’s dry air and sun’s warm rays
But they respond with “its been a hard morning” and then hear the minutiae of hell according to their believed hard ways…
It’s true though, as feelers,
We sometimes take on others’ pain…
Oh if only we could have them see the bounty of good going on and enable them assess their now’s true gain!
Yet after decades of striving to do this very thing…
We’ve come to see a time or two
Many aren’t asking for fixing.
And what we may sense is their pain?
is their choice of disposition…
All the more then,
when harsh tones are spoken,
Is it vital we take total care with our inner…
And remind him or her that we are not the cause of this seeming cloud…
And that the thought work we devote to is accessible to everyone in their now…
But that other one must be willing to want to manage thought…
And not be enslaved to circumstances or assets acquisition as determining his or her “lot.”
Indeed then when harsh tones are blared and yelled at us,
May we each pause and insist with assurance:
Right now: Love is steering
And right now all hearts can’t help but hear…
And right now the supposed fascination with matter
cannot be believed as true power…
And right now I know that I have not caused any harm
And right now I know that another can’t be made to accuse me of wrong…
So that if I am accused falsely and harsh tones are spoken,
I can remove myself from the lure to react justify or even self defend
And I can even refuse to utter any response…
For the harsh tone is that deliverer’s inner angst
And that angst can only be repaired by that one going within
And wrestling down his/her fears and assessing his values and listen for the ways the inner nudge is reassuring her/him.”
But surely this doesn’t immediately remove the sting of accused…
Yet it can and will make us pause from taking in the assumed:
That we have done something to cause a reason for this tone —
Or more still…
That we need to invest in fixing others’ pain or reason they’re choosing this tone…
So tender one who is a thought worker out there reading this poem now…
Be so vigilant in your thought work and be so certain you look at your now…
Are you trying to fix another or take away their pain?
And have they even asked for that?
And would they even value your way?
Be so sure you are trusting them to their inner nudge…
You can’t assume that role ever…
And surely aren’t being asked to even believe they’re stuck.
In sum then:
Love is steering
All are hearing
You are not the cause
Of anothers paining…
Every ounce of someone’s angst
Can be healed as they seek to reframe what they believe is their source of security
And what they rely on for Life…
Love…
And meaning.
So much love and warm hug of nodding for your journey,

Disclosure: for years I battled guilt and believing I was a wreck as a woman because I did not amass wealth or desire a portfolio in the way many I knew sought.
For years, I believed it was my duty to take away the fear and pain others held from being scared of their financial health and or their monetary worth.
And when through human efforts alone I was not able to remove their fears, I blamed myself and got very caught up in self harming out of guilt.
Over many years, I’ve learned how to see another as free and cared for perpetually… not because of a portfolio’s worth…not because of the value of their assets…but because of their inherent worth as a child of God, even when they seem stuck in panic about money.
And that shifted view has healed me of self harming tendencies because another’s fear is not my fault and is not their true reality.
If you are hurting yourself in any way because someone you love is panicking over their worth and financial well being….
Or if you are hurting yourself in any way because you are panicked about your financial health …
I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
I help clients see their now — their well being and their security– through the lens of Divine love …
And this view gives assured constant safety, security, and an immeasurable inheritance of true freedom.
Deepest conviction you can be free from self harm and you are not the cause of anyone’s –yours or another’s– fear of financial health and well being.
So much love and hope for your journey,
Tre ~
