This ^^^. Yup yup. If I am another yourself, what I don’t like about you, I don’t like about me. You are the transmitter of that negative judgment or thought thread. You the conductor can lead that train of thought where it needs to go to be free from judgment! Of your self of others. Shadow work. It hurts so good . ;)
I tell the little ones I teach when they come at me complaining that they don’t like so and so…. I say: when you point your finger at anyone, there are the three other fingers poring right back at ya…. they usually look at me pretty quixotly (is that a word) but you know planting seeds :)
Thanks for Wonging. You rock.
