That's Right! True love has no opposite

That's Right! Each moment contains the seeds of awakening

That's Right! I am aligned with love

That's Right! I choose to walk in harmony with life

That's Right! The world is my mirror

I am merely a reflection of you.

Our world is arranged to provide a myriad of ways to witness what needs to be healed within ourselves. The most frustrating and beautiful vehicle that one can utilize on the path of transformation is projection. 

People enter our lives for the soul purpose of healing. Each circumstance offers an opportunity to engage in projection (if you still need to become aware of what requires healing within you), forgiveness (the act of healing) or neutrality (witnessing that healing has occurred). The more intimate we are with someone, the more likely they are to trigger hidden "shadows" within us.

There is a light-hearted saying in the spiritual community... Think you're evolved? Try spending a week with your family!

As soon as you find yourself engaged in a story regarding a particular situation, recognize that you are projecting. Listen to the words as you describe the frustration, your feelings  about someone else's behavior or pay attention to the repeating story which plays in the mind. Without judgment, just notice. Then ask yourself these questions:

• What am I trying to see?
• Why am I upset?
• Am I willing to entertain the idea that there is more to this circumstance than meets the eye?
• How can I bring peace or love to the situation?

When engaged in a challenge, it's hard to see past the mechanisms of the ego. Instead of moving into anger, pain or rejection, simply try using the questions above to move the energy to a frequency which is less painful. You can always process the information later.

Once we take responsibility for our own state of consciousness, we begin to realize that what we have considered to be "reality" is merely a reflection of how we see the world, what we expect, what we believe or what we fear.

When we choose to surrender to a situation, stop trying to force those around us to change and go within for the answers, we begin to heal.

The neutrality or peace you experience is the indicator of how well you're doing. When you get triggered, be thankful, for you've just recognized the need for healing from a spiritual level and entered the realm of pure potentiality. Don't forget that projection can also be positive and pleasant - when you see someone as beautiful, friendly, evolved, compassionate or smart... smile and remember that they too are merely a reflection of you. The world is your mirror.

Today my intent is to accept each moment and each situation as perfect. I choose to walk in the world in harmony with life.
