arontius.....I pulled this from another person on my FList, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starshaman. Parts of it is apropos to a number of conversations I read or took part this week. I thought it an interesting coincidence and an interesting read...
....."In my observations, it is a great challenge to let others walk their path. Seems like a simple thing, but it gets very challenging when we think that someone is doing something wrong. Or, that we know and ‘know’ that they are about to experience something dramatic/traumatic.
.....Basically, it’s a challenge when we think they are ‘wrong’. After all, we know what’s right. Well…right for me is not necessarily right for another. And the converse, what is right for someone else is not necessarily right for me. This seguays into the Guru example. Just because a Guru has done something specific, it does not mean it’s the right thing for any student. Religion is like that as well I suppose, Parents strive to bring their children up in their religion.
.....So what about when we see another’s path and they do not? I mean specifically when we see them doing great work, and they are totally unaware of it? They think their life is all suffering and misery, and yet we know they are doing fantastic, even if specific or esoteric, work? They are on their path, but they are not fully conscious of it? They are conscious of being on ‘a’ path, but hey are unaware of some of the work they are doing.
.....Should we tell them? Would they believe us? Does it matter?
.....I see people way down in the density, in despair over their state. Yet, they are doing work they are totally unaware of, even though it’s right in front of their face. I think if they expanded their minds a little bit more, they could see the splendor. But, that is their choice. Kryon says 97% of people on Earth are not aware of their true nature, and of the remaining 3%, only 1/2% of the total will do anything about it. I have free will to tell someone something about them, and they have free will to listen to it or not. Then they can decide if it’s a truth for them or not.
.....Should we tell them they make differences beyond what they think?
.....In the seminar I went to a few weeks ago, I told people things about themselves they never suspected consciously. Some things mattered, some were just FYI’s. I learned things about my self in the same vein. Yet, people ask questions, get the answer, then go say “Yes, but you see…” and ignore it. I see this countless times, they get exactly the answer to the question they asked, yet they don’t accept it because it’s not the answer they were looking for. This begs the question: Why ask a question if you already know the answer? Because it’s not a question they have, but instead they are looking for proof, for confirmation.
.....Faith.
.....Everyone walks their path, and it is uniquely theirs. The choices are always theirs. There are many suggestion people make on how to walk ones path. There is no right or wrong, it simply IS. So, should we offer encouragement? Should we point out how one has helped others in their path? Should we point out things that are not consciously seen? Free Will gives us the ability to do so, and Free Will gives them the ability to ignore the comments.
