My quantum physics and law of attraction beliefs are that anything we put our attention on grows and manifests in our lives. I’ve written about how seeking revenge might hurt the person it’s aimed at, but it’s absolutely guaranteed to harm the one seeking it.
Since learning of and understanding this Universal law, I’ve been committed to “rising above” lower energies of hate, anger, and blame, even if it’s just incrementally as shown by Abraham-Hick’s Emotional Guidance Scale (click here for full explanation on how to use the Scale).
My college thesis was about standing for something rather than being anti anything. It was dedicated to two of my beloved hero’s – Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mother Teresa. When asked to march in an anti-war rally, Mother Teresa responded with:
“If you hold an anti-war rally, I shall not attend. But if you hold a Pro Peace rally, invite me.”
Mother Teresa
MLK Jr. was all about Pro equality, Pro unity, and Pro love. Nowhere in his I Have a Dream speech did he seek to put another down or lay blame – He was too focused on Uniting mankind. One of my favorite portions of the speech is:
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Just re-reading that sends chills down my spine.
This being “for” something focus has been my trusted guide for decades. But recently I’ve been revisiting it often as we encounter waves of hostility in our attempts to settle legal matters. It’s an unloading of sorts – pent up vengeful and malicious energy aimed to destroy both the man as well as his relationship with his daughter.
“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor Hell a fury like a woman scorned.”
William Congreve’s The Mourning Bride
Which made me really consider the consequences of holding onto so much hate and malice. Sure, those unloading’s might give a temporary sense of reprieve. But all that negative energy still resides within her… all-consuming her… And I can’t imagine having the ability to create a happy life while consumed with such darkness.
Dad and I share the “disengage and rise above” approach for handling hostilities, so our only concern is Dear Alexa. How does this energetic boiling and unloading affect her? Is it even possible to co-exist in the same household and not be affected? Particularly at an age when she may not know how to untangle herself and disengage?
Whenever I need to infuse a situation with light, Source always finds a way of sending insights and guidance. This week it was the Millennial Therapist Sara Kuburic’s book “It’s on me” that gave me perspective. We bought the eBook and audible for Dear Alexa when she’s ready for it. It’s all about being honest with ourselves, setting healthy boundaries, and taking responsibility for our lives.
Blame keeps us stuck – Accountability leads to freedom.
Dear Birth Mom – I wish you nothing but happiness. May you find closure and release so that you may move on with your life. May you create and attract from a positive space so that you may experience love and connection.
Sincerely, The Stepmom
