Our recent APLC phone discussion about Karma has deeply impacted how I act and react. This week I had the opportunity to see a subtle aspect of of how I can create energetically from love or fear. I was due to play bridge with a group of women I have recently met. For several reasons I decided that I no longer want to do this. So began my fp foray into how to accomplish it in the “easiest” way. The night before I had watched a documentary about famine and suffering in parts of Africa. Ok, there was my out. I would just not show up at our specified time, because I did not want to go to the trouble of finding a substitute. No big deal my fp thought as it put bridge and famine on a scale of importance. They would get over it. I did not have a destructive intention, or mean any harm. I just did not want to take time out in my day for calling or playing! While not being aware of an overt fp, I suspected that something was going on because I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I sat with it mulling over my options, and using the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines to help me make a decision. A loving decision that would come from my desire to improve my Karma, not just get bye. The Universe so gently and lovingly offered me this reminder…the energy I put out will come back to me!!! Period!!!! That’s it!!! My commitment to my spiritual growth involves using the SPG’s of courage, integrity, acting from the healthiest part of my personality, paying attention to my intention, just to name a few. Didn’t see “easy” on that list! Or to make it even simpler, do I really want someone else to treat me this way? The answer was very clear.. A familiar fp wants me to think I have to explain or have an excuse. It was much simpler to just speak truthfully. Even writing about it feels freeing; taking a deep breath goes all the way to my toes! Blessings, Pam
