I hear your criticism, Dear One, and I get it. You want your grievance to solve something in the world, but it won’t. Its only power is to inform you. It speaks about you, TO you, but you’re not listening. You think the fault belongs to another.
This intolerance you feel toward the person, the practice, the system…sit with it before you try to give it away. Let it show you where you feel inadequate, unworthy, victimized, powerless, impatient, confused.
The blame that passes through you is the voice of all these misunderstandings in yourself. It seeps from your wounds and invades the air that you breathe. It colors your voice and clouds your thoughts.
Turn inward, you. Be not afraid to see the pain. Address it with respect and patience. Be open to its message. Allow yourself to forgive everyone and everything that unveils its part in the drama.
Only then will Clarity, previously uninvited, appear at your doorstep. Step aside and allow it entry. Once acquainted, you can’t help but fall in love. Fear will fade, anger will be replaced by understanding and compassion, and Peace will become your steady companion, your muse, and your power.
This is where true change begins.
