The following conversation came about after I gave a brief presentation in a spiritual chat room about the process of self-discovery, enlightenment and spiritual growth. Most everybody in the room was preoccupied with talking to one another, drawing their conclusions about my presentation without really making the effort to connect with what I was saying. After I decided to end my talk I was sent a personal message by a woman who had the following things to share with me:
Maggie: thank you for your kind words in this room...you are able to reach people because of your kindness
realize2actualize: well thank you
realize2actualize: please tell my girlfriend this, she does not believe anything I am saying
Maggie: I have been listening...(reading)..you are so true in your words
realize2actualize: but as I said, if you know deep down within yourself, that is all that matters
realize2actualize: thank you very much
Maggie: I know, but when others try to tell me their answers...I get so angry..you have a beautiful way of handling that
Maggie: I have been hanging out in this room for about a week...just trying to learn..it's amazing what an open mind and heart will do
realize2actualize: very true
realize2actualize: but openness is something that is very rare these days
realize2actualize: many people are so preoccupied with themselves and their own needs and wants
Maggie: but when your heart is open, people sense it
Maggie: and there is no question
realize2actualize: I did not realize this
realize2actualize: so I thank you for sharing this with me
Maggie: I am truly serious
realize2actualize: I just like to talk to people and discuss things and explore things together
realize2actualize: and I truly believe you are
Maggie: right away, your words told me what your profile said
Maggie: that you care
realize2actualize: very deeply
Maggie: I am very blessed with a husband that allows me to walk whatever path, and to learn helps my marriage as well
realize2actualize: I am glad to hear that you are happy
Maggie: I am blessed indeed
realize2actualize: actually
realize2actualize: we all are
realize2actualize: just many of us do not realize this
realize2actualize: nor live accordingly
Maggie: I have a question
realize2actualize: and I will have an answer
Maggie: there are people that have *smaller windows that they look out of
Maggie: maybe not really wise with the world
realize2actualize: yes..
Maggie: maybe never worked..raises kids..stay at home
Maggie: I have a friend like that...very hard to journey through life with
Maggie: she has borders...the walls of her home...and always unhappy...
Maggie: the outside world is so far, and the openness of life is farther
realize2actualize: what is her reason for wanting to live the way she does?
Maggie: she knows nothing else
realize2actualize: being afraid of what is new and different
realize2actualize: well then
realize2actualize: it's time to embark on a journey for her
realize2actualize: to get to know something else
realize2actualize: to overcome her fear, and maybe you can help her with that
realize2actualize: to be open towards someting that might be new and a little scary
Maggie: <searching my brain and heart>feeling something
realize2actualize: aha
realize2actualize: what do you feel?
Maggie: please don't laugh..just smile
realize2actualize: wow, this could be interesting, actually, it already is....:)
realize2actualize: I do not laugh at all
Maggie: She asked me about 3 months ago about maybe starting a "group" at her house about "The Passion of the Christ"
realize2actualize: ok
realize2actualize: do you ever really talk to her
Maggie: that would be a journey to start
realize2actualize: about things
Maggie: yes
realize2actualize: about her believes and thoughts
realize2actualize: and?
Maggie: it sometimes crosses...because she is so limited
realize2actualize: help her to be more open
realize2actualize: it takes time
realize2actualize: and a lot of sensitivity, getting her to inquire into her own mind
Maggie: may I add you? I promise I am not one of those annoying people online!
realize2actualize: please
Maggie: it was so nice to meet you!
realize2actualize: the pleasure was all mine
Maggie: have a good night! Tell your girlfriend you are awesome!
realize2actualize: I hope we get another chance to talk
realize2actualize: thank you
Maggie: We will..peace and blessings! |
