Doing The Course - the Workbork of ACIM helped me HUGELY!
A Course In Miracles.
And I can give a quick synopsis of how, from ACIM, if anyone wants.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Hi Flexi-Girl,
Things change all the time. But I am happy to share my personal experience.
Recently, I was .. I could say treated unfairly. Strongly, in my opinion. I won't go in to the situation but suffice to say that it was hard.
The person has more position than me, they can affect me. They did.
I suppose it depends on what one means by spirituality, but in my own life and practice, it comes with a cleansing of this mind/heart.
So that, as the feelings and thoughts arise, so too does it land in a wider pool of acceptance, nourishment, and possibility.
So rather than seethe and writhe in anger and such for months on end, perhaps there is a way of acceptance and possibility.
This is not an intellectual exercise, as you might know Flexi-Girl, but a spiritual one.
Note that I still had to feel the feelings, I still had to stand in the Heart.
Am I good at forgiveness? I don't know, but perhaps through time, experience and some roots in spiritual traditions, it is possible that we can move on in a better way and Light.
Namaste,
JL

Yes please.
@Janielee
I had someone in a powerful position use their power to hurt me. I was hurt and angry about it for months until I just flat accepted this person won. I don't know why but somehow giving up made me feel better. I don't feel like a victim, nor do I feel jaded. I am probably breaking some kind of unspoken rule about never giving up, but in irony I feel like they no longer have power over me.
@Hologram8
I wish that were so. I think the best we can do is work on ourselves everyday and help others out as much as we can to balance out the equation. |

you changed your photo - now you don't look so flexi
it's a full time job working on yourself --
I used to spend my entire life helping others out - but they were just playing me and wasting my life and energy -
they weren't interested in help or becoming better -- they were only interested in being bad ---
I guess you could try to help out good people - but if they choose to be evil - then they are just energy vampires |

Very true. You cannot change people. People can only change if they want to change. It is best to let people be. I offer people advice if they ask for it or it comes in conversation and they want advice on what to do. It is up to them to accept it or not. They usually appreciate it or accept it. |

I find it easy to forgive. If it was a stressful and bad situation then I do not know if I would find it easy to forgive. Over time I am finding it easier and easier to forgive. I admit I tend to dwell on what has happened for a while.

Be a wise energy investor. Where will your energy contribution be wasted? Where is it most effective? |
