From the Book….
When tension rises, humans begin to get excited and act-out in various ways. You may recognize this behavior in many people once you get out of your emotional attachment to ‘how things should be.’ Your version of ‘how things should be’ was taught to you. You are programmed. Your version of ‘how things should be’ may be way out of line with ‘how things should be’ for your neighbor. You are fighting over things that do not make sense except to the individual and to those who were programmed like that particular individual.
You are all programmed and acting accordingly. When someone’s programming disagrees with yours you get upset and angry and you begin to push that person (with their upsetting programming) away. They then become your enemy or the bad one. You have now created your game strategy for good guy vs. bad guy. You have now set up the boundaries for good vs. evil. You have begun your victim/perpetrator game. This game will come to an end when you begin to accept and allow that another’s programming is simply a taught way of behavior and you let go of judging that person or situation. You begin to simply see things for what they are which allows you to stop fearing them. You are then allowed to either stay with the person or move away from the person without harmful feelings of guilt, or anger, or harsh judgment.
As you learn to recognize acting-out for what it is you will not be so attached to getting even with others. You will begin to let go of your desire to punish others and you will free yourself from being the judge in every situation. It takes a lot of energy to constantly judge everything and that energy is valuable to you. It will keep you light and youthful and vibrant. Do not use up your energy on wasted thoughts. Use positive enlightening thoughts to create your world.
