I've just been on a really interesting family
vacation--interesting in the Chinese curse sense.
Family vacations pick one apart like a Thanksgiving
turkey. This list, is, in many ways, much kinder.

Different points of view have different values and
this list has about as many viewpoints as members. It
goes with the territory, as Hilary comments here--like
fly eyes, too many mirrors to count.

Two diametric opposites here--both accurate-those fly
eyes again. But how can we tell which fly eye is right
or wrong for us?

So with that in mind, I have a somewhat different
suggestion about protection, one which knocks out all
the fly eye images--and who is right and who is wrong.
When I am experiencing a bout of negative thoughts,
anger, misery, whatever is making me feel unpleasant,
as I was today, after this family vacation I was just
on, I chose to hang out at home and took a nap, mostly
very glad to be alone.
When I continued to feel punky this evening, I decided
to put an ugly mirror around myself, to find out what
was my junk and what was not. It's the exact opposite
of a wall of protection. Everything I am mirroring out
at the world immediately comes back at me. In my case,
it usually brings me immediate relief from everything
unpleasant in the thought department. My internal
energy fires up like a bandit. Pain starts coming out
all over as the days of uncleared karma snacking
work--or my negative thoughts--which are both the same
thing, by the way--starts to release. I feel lighter.
My feet turn on fire. My face heats up. Instead of
worrying about external whatevers, I am suddenly
feeling centered and in the Now. Instead of focusing
externally on events, I focus on my physical and
energetic wellbeing, which, as usual, I have been
neglecting. It's a marvellous tonic for an empath.
So that's part of the value of a discussion like this.
It brings up all sorts of items for discussion and new
ways of dealing with the problems we encounter. I
learned about the ugly mirror from this list and still
find it to be one of the most useful items I've
learned. It's also one of the clearest proofs for me,
at least, that we all embody All That Is because if we
didn't, why would such powerful healing come from this
practice?
It has one other odd, unintended side effect. As long
as it's on, my ego isn't. It creates a very pure
Witness State, which is a good place to get a rest.
Love, Lesley
