Where we place our attention is our ‘god’ of the moment.
What are you feeding in your life ? What is it that you give of your energy to and attention? What is taking from you that which is your source that feeds you with peace and abundance?
This morning I was awakened from a dream. In the dream I was being taken advantage by an employer whom I didn’t trust. I reported it to the police and quit. I asked what this meant and a client came to mind. I have tried several times to quit this client but feel sorry for her struggle and continued forward. However, this morning I awoke with the realization I could no longer do this. It is not worth my worrying about her business failing if she isn’t going to do something about it.
Why do I share this? Because we need to have compassion and help others but sometimes we have to realize there is no more that we can do, unless they change something in their lives. We are simply letting them draw upon our energies to perpetuate a situation that serves no one. My time and energy would be better spent doing that which is of service to the Divine Plan and Universal Oneness. Perhaps someone else could better serve her needs and help her.
We have been discussing giving and receiving and helping people from the perspective of the ones who give and the ones who receive. The person I speak of is a very good person who gives of hte little she has, and that is why I have continued herlping her, but after 5 years it isn’t getting better and I have done all I can to help, so it is time to step back and perhaps allow her other choices as well as myself. Sometimes, we can be enable someone in continuing in a pathway that isn’t helping them by helping them to survive in that pattern.
Sometimes, our help or their situation is a karmic pattern from which one of us or both have come to learn a leasson.
That which prevents us from seeking our inner spiritual growth or service is a lesson to be learned. It this situation being of service to the higher perspective for each of you? It is causing you to worry and take from your peace? Is it creating a hindrance to the ones involved?
There is a differnce in giving someone a hand up to rise out of a situation in which they find themselves that is not creating a better life for them, and in giving them a hand out of our time, money and energy that enables them to continue in a destructive or non productive pattern of behavior.
This is where our personal growth and alignment to our inner guidance is of such great benefit. Our Higher Self, Source, and our guides all see things from a higher perspective for the good of all. They can see the pattern and potential outcomes of situations and choices that we cannot. They will try to send us signs to help us if we aren’t listening such as the dream I had. If we ask then they will tell us, but we have to ask for they can’t directly interfer only give us nudges, signs and whisper suggestions hoping we hear.
So this is the middle path of the ones who give and the ones who receive. It is where we place our attention. Sometimes we get stuck in believing we need to help everyone, and we can’t because of their personal karmic lessons or we take on karma ourselves. We have to look at situations and ask what is the best way to help and should I do so. It is not every karmic to give to someone whom you see can use a meal, a blanket, a smile, a kind word. Where we can get into karma is enabling them to stay in a beggar situation by giving without helping them to help themselves. Sometimes, they don’t want help, but you will need to learn to discern the difference.
Why do I say this? Interestingly, On the weekend of the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, we were hosting the event in a local park. There was a homeless man who lived there who came to sit with us and watch. I spent time with him during break and asked him about his life. As I share this note we were in southern california, and when I asked where he stayed he said he lived in the large hollowed out tree. I ask how he survived, he said he did odd jobs, ate at local program locations where they had showers and food. I asked why he didn’t stay in shelters and he said he didn’t want to be confined. He liked living outside. Every situation is different. Until we speak to someone we don’t know their story and if they need or want help.
Perhaps you don’t want to speak with a homeless person, or give them money, thinking they will use it for drugs or alcohol and some will. You can give them food or leave food in gathering places, leave clothes or blankets. We aren’t being asked to place our attention on all the homeless or ones in need. Ask what you should do and how you can help and how much. Don’t allow this to take attention from another service you are being called to do to help with the greater process of Ascension for Earth and Humanity.
Everything is about Balance within us and in our lives. Attention is a big part of this process for our attention is required to manifest what we need for ourselves and our spiritual growth and service. If we are placing it on things which are distracting us from our purpose, then we are serving or benefiting no one.
If you have children they need attention for they are a choice you made and a commitment until they are adults. They are the future and deserve to be shown how to connect with their own spiritual direction. They deserve to be loved and guided and to learn to enjoy life. In this you are giving and receiving between yourself and your children in a balanced and harmonious way.
Seek guidance within as to where and how much of your attention to give any situation. Do not ignore the needs of others for we are all One and part of the same Source and need to help all to benefit from their inner connection.
It can seem a balancing act to just help someone, but you will learn to go with the flow as you follow your inner guidance. Just ask what to do in a situation and then follow your inner knowing, your heart guidance. A balance to help but to not take away their lesson or enable another to continue a destructive behavior and take of your time and energy to do so. A rich person can fund a project or center that gives a platform for ones called to help others to provide the needed services. A homeless person can volunteer to help clean the center and or serve in some way to give back for the help given and thus the giving and recieving is balanced.
Attention – inner guidance helps us to know where to place our attention to manifest the highest good and potential for all involved. Remember where we place our attention is what the universe believes we want and so they send the energy of manifestation to that upon which we focus.
