People Who DonÂt Get It | by Madisyn Taylor You may be someone who understands the true nature of reality, perceiving deeply that we all emanate from the same source, that we are all essentially one, and that we are here on earth to love one another. To understand this is to be awakened to the true nature of the self, and it is a blessing. Nevertheless, people who just don't get it are seemingly everywhere and, often, in positions of power. It can be frustrating and painful to watch them behave unconsciously. We all encounter individuals of this bent in our families, at work, and in all areas of public life. It is easy to find ourselves feeling intolerant of these people, wishing we could be free of them even though we know that separation from them is an illusion. It helps sometimes to think of us all as different parts of one psyche. Just as within our own hearts and minds we have dark places that need healing, the heart and mind of the world has its dark places. The health of the whole organism depends upon the relative health of the individuals within it. We increase harmony when we hold onto the light, not allowing it to be darkened by judgment, anger, and fear about those who behave unconsciously. It's easier to accomplish this if we don't focus on the negative qualities of individuals and instead focus on how increasing our own light will increase the light of the overall picture. When dealing with people who seem very unconscious, it helps to remember that everyone must find their own way to awakening and that the experiences they are having are an essential part of their process. Holding them in the light of our own energy may be the best way to awaken theirs. At the same time, we are inspired by their example to look within and shed light on our own unconscious places, sacrificing the urge to judge and surrendering instead to humble self-inquiry. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Megan Feldman Bettencourt, M.S. Many people have been hurt and disappointed in love so many times that they feel resigned to a life of solitude or unsatisfying relationships. True love is possible for anyone and everyone, but what most people don't realize is that forgiveness is one of the most powerful keys to both finding and keeping lasting love. Conversely, the inability to forgive yourself and others is often the very thing that keeps true love away, or thwarts it once it begins to flourish. Research shows that resentment not only damages heart and brain health, but it's also a road to a loveless life riven with conflict. Empirical studies also show that mutual forgiveness is the most crucial predictor of successful, long-term intimate relationships, and that people who practice self-compassion are more likely to find healthy love relationships and to sustain them (they're also more highly-rated by their relationship partners). In this course, you'll learn how to resolve grief and resentment over past relationships and childhood experiences, and then cultivate the habits and practices that will enable you to constitute yourself as a magnet for the healthy, fulfilling and lasting love that you deserve. Award-winning author Megan Feldman Bettencourt draws on her global exploration of the science and stories of forgiveness, as well as modern psychology and ancient shamanic practices, to guide you through this transformative eight-week journey.
