Bronya - the seeker and the seer

Compassion

As we were sitting on the train and talking, my friend shared with me an event that deeply effected her life and left a painful scar. As she was sharing and pouring her heart out - all I could see is that she blames the other person for what happened. Being a fairness fanatic - I started to protect the other person - saying that the other person(whom I never met) did so from ignorance not knowing how to do better.

I realized later that my friend did not need my judgment of what happened and who was right and who was wrong - all she wanted is compassion. In that particular moment, in that particular train, all she wanted is somebody to share her pain. I missed an opportunity to feel and express compassion.I missed a chance to get close and intimate with a person I like.

Being Emotional Literate now and reflecting back what there is for me to do?

Clean up and apologize.

That is exactly what I am going to do in the nearest future.

Know thyself.

Do you know yourself?

What she is talking about - I know my name, address, roles,titles, degrees, my work.

I don't mean your identity - I mean you as a human being full of unlimited potential.

"What unlimited potentials is she talking about -I have problems with my weight for the longest time, at 65 I don't have enough money to stop working, I am tired,exhausted and overwhelmed.      It  is annoying to hear some people say you have unlimited potential and I can not get my act together. They imply I am stupid."

Big dilemma - on one hand there is incredible human being with physical, emotional, and spiritual potential on the other a man/woman struggling to survive day in and day out.

The answer is - we don't know ourselves for who we are.    The reason is because there is more to us than meets the eye. The other reason is that our eyes can not see ourselves and we are concentrated on the world around us rather than on the world inside of us.

Changing the focus of learning and education from outside to inside carries a big promise for the future.    

understanding emotions

Emotions are energies that communicating to us if we are in alignment with our thoughts and actions to what we want to achieve. Emotions have texture, frequency, volume, timbre and all the characteristics that musical notes have.

Understanding emotions is a great power. If I am angry what event, thought, action brought that about? If I know where the anger came from - it will be easier to manage this emotion and switch to a more positive emotion.

transformation of human spicies

Creation and co-creation with God.

It says in the Kabbalah that God creates the Universe every moment a new.

Why than does it look to us as it is the same or we realized that it changed only a while after.

As humans species evolutionary development was such that we were – in fight-or-flight response all the time to assure our survival. Either response (fight or flight) was promoting fear and all connected distractive emotions in humans. To generate love was a rare luxary in environment of survival. Even almost loveless society, except rare individuals, was working for a while. We created societies were human rights and dignities are observed ( like USA ). At the same time the drive to catastrophise, being afraid and as a result making everybody wrong including ourselves are destructive forces that do not let us jump to a different level of development.

We are standing today before the biggest challenge we ever experienced. We would have to choose how our development will go in the years to come.

Will we use our potential and create a new species - super human beings? Or destructive emotions will take the best out of us and we will face destruction.

I hope not the later... And I know not the later.

I see a lot of people creating and developing tools to transform ourselves.

        

And we resist the change and we want it to be the way we knew it before. 

I beleive in human spirit that it will prevail.

forgivness

My heart is telling me that FORGIVNESS could save the world

We are tired from generation to generation be in reactivity mode

We practiced this long enough: an eye for an eye

We are ready for new beginnings, to create from absolute nothingness

That a new world will arise.
