UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS
2/26/2007 11:19:08 AM

HELLO TO ALL MY FRIENDS & FAMILY,

I RECEIVED THIS ARTICLE IN AN EMAIL THIS MORNING FROM A FRIEND OF MINE AND JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU! I THINK IT IS A GREATA ARTICLE AND I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY IT AS WELL!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

____________________________________________

Sometimes we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what motivates them. But we are all doing the best we can with the information we currently have. We have all been taught how to see the world from the examples of those around us and by our experiences. Keeping this in mind, we can accept the choices made by others while seeking ways to increase the world's level of consciousness as a whole.

Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children, whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the behavior of a two-year-old who doesn't want to share can be understood as a phase of his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be thought to be acting childish. It is important to remember that we are each on our own unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain roles in the unfolding of the world's understanding before we incarnated in this lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the world by increasing our own.

Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of the planet. When we use our energy to bring light into the world, it combines with the light brought by others to dispel the darkness. Though we live in a world of duality, which helps us to experience the material plane, we don't need to experience extremes to understand them. We can share our experiences and understanding with others not from a place of condescension but of connection. When the entire family of humanity understands that each of our thoughts, choices, and actions affect us all, we will share an incredible level of consciousness-one that puts our oneness above all else and helps us evolve into higher expressions of our spiritual selves. Remember the next time you witness an action of another that they are of the same earth as you but simply on a different conscious level at this point in their life. Find compassion, bless them, and move along your day in grace.

Hi Marilyn,

Great article. I am reminded of the fifth habit of Highly Effective Poeple,

"Seek first to understand, then to be understood." Stephen R Covey. Too often we cloud our ability to understand by using the paradigm of own life. To turly understand others we must step outside our "self" and look with fresh eyes.


Joy in the Moment,

Hi Marilyn!  :-)

Great article!  Thank you so much for sharing!  I needed to hear theat info this morning!  :-)

Nick.....awesome quote my friend!  We could all benefit from stepping outside of ourselves every now & then ......and really take a long, honest look @ the things we are saying/doing to others.  I believe then....we could gain a higher understanding of not only them - but ourselves as well.




~ Drummerboy Keep on thinking positive…..thank God for everything that’s good in your life……..and make it a great week!
