One is even more fortunate to not hold onto others, and this takes lifetimes to master. Not to be insensitive, or unkind - but to not take it all on and make it ours. To let it go back to where it belongs.
To not harm, and to not be harmed.
To allow and be expansive.
And kind.
Generous.
For the one trapped and enmeshed with others will personalise a life that was never meant to be personal.
We all go through exactly the same process, just the timing is different. Yet we always feel the pain of our own lives the most, and that of others the least because it didn't happen in our body.
Now, how does one instruct a stubborn ego to submit to this truth?
You came here in service, therefore whatever life and the world does to you is justified, as long as it's not abuse, and you don't cling on to things. Not even to your own opinion about your own life. And that craving you feel to justify, to defend, to cut down - cease it.
I came across a very interesting passage today about "hothouse enlightenment" and how someone can be granted great powers of insight and intuition and psychic ability, and yet you wouldn't trust that person to babysit your children (or, as I like to say in dramatic tones, "save me from a fiery death.").
Let us today let all of them go, to learn their own lesson.
We created these "monsters" to tear us down - otherwise, we might have become like them. It isn't acceptable to the ego, but to the eternal soul, all of these experiences are necessary. Which is why WE create them. There is some pattern of logic to it.
May I learn my lesson allowing generosity to always be constant, and to not shrivel under personal hurts.
There's no great glory in being more enlightened or "older" than another soul. All that means is the life intensity will increase, and more **** will happen to test and mold you.
The higher you go, the more refinement is required for the soul, so every speck of dirt is squeezed out.
I present to thee organic enlightenment.
And I ask for the ability to provide the small necessities to those in need, like food, shelter, warmth, love, reality.
A lot to think about tonight.

| Karachi, 2014, a poor stray kitten paralysed and starving - did my best, but it was never enough because of being under so much darkness at the time. Shitloads of fear. I hope she forgives me. I hope all the animals forgive me my mistakes, fears, and greed. |
