From Offended to Enlightened
A reminder of how we can reach for our enlightened selves and learn to appreciate feelings of discord. Or the blessing in a universal 'smack'!
Remembering who and what we are, and then operating from unconditional love.
Is that not the most significant role we can possibly play on Earth at this time?
We are each energy, and part of the Divine collective of All that Is, and we can call it what we will: God, Source, Universal Intelligence, Allah, Buddha…
What if our ‘work’ is as simple as this. What if we are here in the physical to apply this to EVERY living thing that exists as a mirror or part of ourselves as the energetic whole?
And what if shifting our ‘thinking’ energy to this perspective has the ability to repair and release the heaviness Earth has collected on our behalf over eons of Egoic behaviours?
I recognise this as my greatest task in the physical and I don’t always get it right, but I can rely on my Higher Self to unfailingly reveal discord where I need to apply it.

‘Offended’ is a useful tool to dig a little deeper and recognise where we may need to do a some work. When someone says something negative about an area we are confident in we rarely have a reaction, knowing within ourselves we are aligned and it is simply their perspective.
However, when we feel the sting, it is showing us something misaligned within ourselves. It could be that as empaths we need to remember to witness and love, rather than ‘bear’. Or perhaps we still have something unhealed to love and resolve. See this article to help understand why we feel ‘Betrayal, Persecution or Abandonment.’
When we reach for the metaphysical, the reason behind the discomfort we are observing, we come to understand the message, and opportunity. Within these experiences we can even come to use our enlightenment to find gratitude for seemingly dire situations.
This can sound ‘high fallutin’ so let’s keep it real: this remembering doesn’t usually come instantly. The more we experience the negative and work our way out of it, the less time it takes the next time we have a similar situation. The gap then becomes infinitesimal and finally non-existant so take heart and trust in your Divine timing, dear ones. All is well.
How blessed we are to be learning to trust our Divine selves, growing, evolving at this time.
Infinite love
