I was thinking of “please and thank you” last night. More about “please”. It reminds me of the word “pleas”, like a court petition to receive something that is in lack. (My mother really drummed these 2 words into me as a child).
I wondered if we have been trained to beg, to see ourselves in lack, to see someone outside self as a “solution” for our “problem” … or if it is actually, having “manners”, or being “courteous”.
The english language can be confusing. Perhaps it is this that has added a sense of confusion to interactions with those who don’t ever say thank you, or please. Perhaps they inwardly can’t bring themselves to acknowledge lack? Or gift appreciation to those who offer what they believe they lack? Maybe there is a hidden hatred, for even needing to ask, or be in a position, needing to receive … pushed onto those who have gifted what is “needed”.
The mind is such a fascinating organ.
Please and Thank You have always been a very important, humble, reciprocal gift for someone showing a kindness, in my mind.
Unfortunately, the world is in a state where gifts, are a form of contract, or an accrued “debt” that must be repaid.
Rarely are gifts of the heart made without intention of receiving anything in return these days.
It’s almost as if current society has turned gratitude into a requirement for interacting, and you know how rebels will rebel over requirements…
Letting go of programming is such a challenge.
However it goes, I am grateful, and quite thankful, for everything, especially sweet, unexpected gifts of the Soul.
Knowing what I know of the stories they’ve spun about ME, I no longer give much energy to dogmatic stories about anyone in history, of blind acceptance and need for hatred, hating the Light in Life which surrounds me.
Open mind.
Open heart.
This persons videos are very interesting. Food for thought …
Someone mentioned this in the comments section of one of my videos. Decided to share it, it is interesting, as the old falls away, and the New Earth takes form.
Judgment on the Nations
1Come near, O nations, to listen;
pay attention, O peoples.
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it,
the world and all that springs from it.
2The LORD is angry with all the nations
and furious with all their armies.
He will devote them to destruction;
He will give them over to slaughter.
3Their slain will be left unburied,
and the stench of their corpses will rise;
the mountains will flow with their blood.
4All the stars of heaven will be dissolved.
The skies will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all their stars will fall
like withered leaves from the vine,
like foliage from the fig tree.
Judgement on Edom (Isaiah 21:11-12)
5When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,
then it will come down upon Edom,
upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood.
It drips with fat—
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7And the wild oxen will fall with them,
the young bulls with the strong ones.
Their land will be drenched with blood,
and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8For the LORD has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9Edom’s streams will be turned to tar,
and her soil to sulfur;
her land will become a blazing pitch.
10It will not be quenched—day or night.
Its smoke will ascend forever.
From generation to generation it will lie desolate;
no one will ever again pass through it.
11The desert owl and screech owl will possess it,
and the great owl and raven will dwell in it.
The LORD will stretch out over Edom
a measuring line of chaos
and a plumb line of destruction.
12No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,
and all her princes will come to nothing.
13Her towers will be overgrown with thorns,
her fortresses with thistles and briers.
She will become a haunt for jackals,
an abode for ostriches.
14The desert creatures will meet with hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
There the night creature will settle
and find her place of repose.
15There the owl will make her nest;
she will lay and hatch her eggs
and gather her brood under her shadow.
Even there the birds of prey will gather,
each with its mate.
16Search and read the scroll of the LORD:
Not one of these will go missing,
not one will lack her mate,
because He has ordered it by His mouth,
and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17He has allotted their portion;
His hand has distributed it by measure.
They will possess it forever;
they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
“The ‘disappointment’ of others is not yours to hold. Please keep this in mind the next time an internet stranger (or anyone else for that matter) feels it necessary to tell you that they are disappointed because you didn’t meet the hopes and expectations they had for you.
When I hear ‘I’m disappointed that you…’ what I read from that is: ‘I’m disappointed to see that your worldview doesn’t mirror mine,’ ‘I’m disappointed that you’ve failed to match the version of you I created in my mind.’ “
There is a Fire of Love so warm and big right now, it’s wonderful. I hope it is filling you too. Upon waking, the attached song lyrics ran through mind. Grand Rising Blessings.
Love on the Mind!! The Love Energy is SO Big!! Are you feeling it too?
