Dear cosmic wanderers,
This week’s blog is more of a collection of questions we asked during ceremony to get to know the soul psyche better. We asked how are we fake grateful or exude toxic positivity? When we go through gratitude its more attachment based but when we notice the blessings those are more expansive based. No disrespect to gratitude lovers though.
We desecrate what our masters and teachers create by disgracing them. We mock or make fun out of others casually for what they follow religiously. Me and my friend used to make fun out of devout Instagram followers and compared them to ourselves because we believed ‘’our temple’s better than yours, my religion is better than yours.’’ Truth is people invest time on Instagram like a religion because to them that is Godlike, a place of worship, more followers means more following, respect, honour, prosperity… so who are we to think our beliefs are superior than theirs and judge others? Yes, I am guilty of this and calling myself out on it.
From my last ceremony this concept of authentically forgiving someone without blinding self is by forgiving your own karma towards that person. Every action (whether unconscious or past life) has a reaction. The way we terrorise others with distrust is by not trusting ourselves enough first, hence looking for answers outside ourselves.
We also pondered what is the difference between passive aggressive and passive assertive? Passive aggressive is shaming questions such as ‘’I’m hungry, don’t you want to eat too?’’ vs passive assertive ‘’I’m hungry, I could eat Chinese, what about you?’’ Huge gamechanger when communicating mindfully.
I ask/leave you with this question…. how are we two-faced? Do we sugarcoat things to certain people or validate their emotions at their expense? Something to ponder…
