How does each individual create a better life?
We must work within. We must look with honesty at ourselves and see what we are really carrying. The majority of humans carry a tremendous amount of suppressed feelings and it is these feelings that are responsible for all the conflict that exists on the planet not just on an individual basis but collectively too. When we are able to release these feelings without blaming another for them then we find we are no longer limited by them. We become more energetic, healthier and happier.
A common example is the feeling of grief and most men carry a tremendous amount of this. This creates disconnection and that is why so many men do not experience a deep level of connection with their significant other. When you can let go of this grief then you will find that you start to reconnect not just with your partner but with everyone. Women experience the same but at a more subtle level. Many times, when people are angry, they are this way because their anger is actually covering up grief.
What is the best way to cope with challenging people or circumstances?
The most important thing to understand is that everything happens to help you. If your husband, wife or anyone else is being difficult then hidden within that is a gift to help you integrate the very parts that you have rejected. These ‘parts’ are your suppressed and repressed feelings.
In other words, the universe brings you exactly what you need to help you heal. For instance, if you are carrying a lot of anger then the universe will bring you angry people. Their energy will trigger what is hidden inside of you and then you are given an opportunity to release or integrate it. If instead you blame and throw your anger back at them, you have misunderstood the deeper reason behind the situation and the cycle will continue. When you integrate your anger then life has no reason to bring you angry people because that anger has disappeared from within you.
This is the most powerful way of dealing with people and circumstances. At this level you are dealing with the cause of why you experience life the way you do. Fundamentally put your suppressed emotions are the energetic attractors of people and circumstances into your life. The more you release, the happier you become and at that point you start being a true leader. Without releasing these stuck feelings your leadership cannot thrive.
#BLM: Thoughts on the movement
I’m not sure about the movement itself but to me it is obvious that black lives matter. However, that statement is at a lower level of conscious then the statement lives matter. The statement Black Lives Matter creates separation where in reality there isnone. In fact, all such statements that reference race, religion or nationality create conflict and separation. To create a better world, we must go beyond attaching our identity to black, white or any other colour, nationality and religion. We must understand that at our core we are all one and there is no separation. Separation just a perceptual illusion that everyone believes but is in fact untrue.
Racism is inherent in every human being, but it is extremely well hidden. As long as we have hidden suppressed emotions then racism will occur. This is natural and to be expected. We are angry not because situations make us angry but because anger is inside of us. To create a movement like Black Lives Matter won’t do anything in the long run because it doesn’t go deep enough to address our core feelings. If anything, it creates more drama. As soon as I say I am white or black I create separation and therefore a strong potential for conflict. To rid the world of racism, every individual has to let go of their own suppressed and repressed feelings.
