Other people’s expectations of us are just that—their expectations. What they expect of us is their story projected out.
What may happen if you’re of a sensitive nature is that their expectation is oftentimes absorbed by us especially if we are feeling a bit lost, confused or down on ourselves.
After absorbing their projected energy we tend to then amplify it with our own expectations along with our inner critic, judge, and punisher.
The result can lead us to push away, cut off, self-sabotage and withdraw while we berate ourselves for not fulfilling what we think we ‘Should do, or Should be.’
Choose to release yourself from the density of expectation in some way that resonates with you.
If you are a fan of breath use your out breath in a releasing exercise like recapitulation perhaps.
If you are a fan of ritual, condense the debris symbolically and release it in some way, eg burn, cut, smoke, or shred after writing.
If you like me are primarily visual, take flight on a glorious bird and drop it into a giant earth hole to be transformed or throw it into the stars to be shined upon and transmuted.
Expectations can pull us out of the moment and into anxiety.
Thank it for coming and then choose a loving release. Blessings ✨💚✨ (c) O. Nightsky (Art: unknown as yet)

The price of gratitude is only a moment of your time.

I wish people had chosen to be kinder. I really do. I am grateful karmic delivery isn’t my department. Extremely grateful I got the easy job. I wish people had been kinder to the Most Highs family. 💯😢

Some people intentionally cause suffering for others. I see nothing wrong with rejecting those gifts and forcing them to carry their own shit. By simply removing self from the equation. No need send anything back, for the “gift” was refused, the option not to receive it enacted.

Narcissism isnt specifically about characteristic traits. Narcissism is a Spirit. This Spirit has the same characteristics, no matter which body it is attached to.
The spirit/soul of a “narcissist” is bound by that Spirit. They are puppets, who must behave in a particular way, exhibiting certain traits that will cause specific agitations, anger, or chaotic situations. It’s their purpose, to dominate a situation and bring chaos to it. They like to think of it as control. Perhaps in a way it is, controlled chaos.
When we separate ourselves from folks who have this Spirit attachment, they will get angry, defensive, insisting they are a benefit in your life. Some may threaten you for leaving. Some will certainly shoot mental knives at you, and throwing toxic, dark energy into your solar plexus.
Step back.
The “person” is gone, a shell remains, a “person”-ality puppeted by darker energies. You can literally feel it when it’s present, especially if you’ve been in Spiritual warfare with it for any length of time.
Release the guilt of severing attachment to such forces.
You don’t have to play their games.
You don’t have to accept being dominated, rewritten, controlled.
Claim your Sovereignty.
Release the “puppet-master”.

You’re busy living life & thoughts, upsetting, keep poking the mind about someone, that’s you picking up on them having an issue with you.
Thought energy perceived.
You’ve forgiven, let it go, moved on. Yet these Smokey tendrils keep reaching for you, trying to pull you back.

I didn’t only come here to be student. I came here to BE. Sometimes that means student, sometimes that means teacher, sometimes that means friend and sometimes that means foe…. Yet through it all, if we truly wish to flow, we will, and more than likely, see each other again … BEing our own unique way.

It is said that something like 85% want to be led; 10% wish to lead; and the remaining 5% are usually killed because they try to wake up the 85%.
The 85% will never create solutions to anything except maybe calling someone to “fix it”, and doing as told, or arguing they’re not doing a good enough job.
Or maybe they want to but aren’t able to for some reason … I don’t mean to be harsh.

Voyeurs … preaching about ethics. That’s funny. Hilarious even.

Most folks present their powerhouse to the world. The more intimidating they can be the better. Scary. Reputation. Gain.
Other folks present their inner child, or the vulnerability of their inner child. Heart open, Light bright, seemingly nothing to be concerned about, weak.
When this vulnerability is attacked, it presents the Strength in Self, whatever is considered to be that strength, opportunity to respond to the measure moving against it, expanding, discovering.
What happens to the strongman who hid the inner vulnerability behind the reputation, when the reputation fails?
It is a very tough path, for there are many who spy it and enjoy crushing the vulnerability they see.
Great strength and resilience is manifested in this state. Overcoming the hurt of betrayal and outright cruelty.
It is a mental, emotional and energetic feat.
Open Heart.
Remaining loving, knowing that in your presence are those who make it their mission to destroy the innocence and pure intention in you, feelings of childlike wonder and joy.
Hurting.
Heart Open.
An apparent reckless willingness, to shoulder the pain, speaking openly.
Standing in the midst of ferocious, growling, hungry (needless?) eaters …
Heart Open.
Letting others see the truth of Love’s intent, its willingness to never shut down, to keep itself from the world, even while being buried into the ground.
Heart Open.
Courage … labeled as self-sabotage. Gathering wisdom and strength every time a hurdle is hopped and a few meters gained.
Heart Open.
Loving the Divine within the Temple housing the Soul.
Heart Open.
Learning as much as you can, about as much as you can … pertaining to Self, and the All that surrounds.
It’s time to pay attention to your “actions” because Mars is retrograde until February 2025.
(It seems some folks decided to ‘go forth’ anyway. Interesting visitations and events lately.)
During Mars Retrograde~
1. Don’t Argue, Fight or Start a War – Mars rules War. During Mars retrograde it’s a bad time to initiate a fight or dispute, because the aggressor usually backs off or loses. It’s a horrible time to start a war or begin a military action against another country because there isn’t a strong will or desire to complete the action. The invading country is likely to be the loser.
2. Don’t Have a Surgery – Mars rules surgery and is associated with surgeons. It also rules anything made of iron, including “cutting things.” If possible, avoid surgical procedures. Mars is a physical planet and during the retrograde, injuries and accidents related to carelessness (e.g. cutting) can occur more frequently. For that reason it’s considered a poor time for elective surgery. It’s not even a good time to find a new barber, hairstylist or any professional who works with a knife or scissors.
3. Don’t Start New Activities – If you do begin a new enterprise during Mars retrograde, your efforts to produce results will meet with greater frustration than usual. Projects are likely to stall or not develop as expected. You’ll find your energy level is lower than normal, making it harder to produce the success you had intended. If you’ve already started something, slow down and reassess your plans, adjust expectations and work through obstacles that are getting in the way of results.
It’s not a favorable time to start a new business with co-workers and partners. You’ll find that people will be unusually argumentative, and easily irritated when projects or activities do not run smoothly. Often the discord is so great, that even people, who normally get a long well, become angry and disruptive. The results are often poor decision-making based out of frustration, instead of patience and open dialogue.
4. Don’t Begin a Law Suit or Divorce – A lawsuit or divorce can be a fierce battle. Since Mars rules wars and battles, it’s not a good time for initiating a legal action. A lawsuit that’s initiated has no punch, with a high likelihood that the plaintiff will back off or end up the loser. If you’re trying to mediate a dispute, you’re likely to find yourself in heavy disagreement and not able to find common ground with the opposing party. When you present your side of the argument, there’s a lack of energy and passion in what you say that doesn’t compel the mediator to your point of view. To obtain better results in a lawsuit or mediation, wait until Mars goes direct on May 20th. (Note: Often during this retrograde you’ll hear about many high-profiled, celebrity separations and acrimonious divorces.)
5. Don’t Buy Mechanical Things – Mars rules anything made of iron such as engines and cutting tools. This is not a reliable time to purchase an automobile or any mechanical equipment. Just in the same way that Mercury retrograde can play havoc with the operation of cars and other machinery, you’ll find that computers and other equipment break down break more during Mars retrograde. In fact, if you have any mechanical equipment in need of repair, use this period to get it done quickly.
Use the Mars retrograde period, to slow down and reassess what you want and desire – before you take further action.
