“There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher and Poet

I am free, and I state it now…take it as you wish. It is a positive message to me.

Today I have officially graduated from the ranks of people who are always allowing of and/or reactive to other peoples hang-ups and negativities.

There is way too much that needs to be accomplished in my life, way too much of the spiritual universe still to be explored. I do not have either the time or the inclination to listen to and carry around the angers, illnesses, woes and worries of the myriad people in this life who wish to perpetuate their own suffering, instead of actively working to become what they claim to truly want to be in life.

Forgive me if this sounds mean or haughty, I assure you that it is neither. It is actually peace and grace finally manifesting in my life, as I have always wished for it to do. I allow peace into my heart for those who are still trapped in their own energetic recordings, playing them out over-and-over again. I have been that person too. May the peace that has entered my heart flood out upon you and leave you with the space and freedom to be whatever you chose to be.

I gracefully free the people in my life who have not chosen the path of spiritual development and right action to go and live unshackled by my opinions, expectations or pressure. And, in return, I ask that those who feel personally affronted by who I am and what I believe in to also allow me the same freedom and space to be who I am, unshackled by their own fears, judgments and expectations of me.

For too long I have allowed certain individuals to unleash cruelty, disrespect and aggressiveness upon me where others would have been shown the doorway out of my life. I have allowed this out of an attempt to be patient, to be a kind person and have done so because of societal interconnections with people.

Be it landlord-to-tenant, parent-to-child, lover-to-beloved, cousin, neighbor, old friends…I have learned to abide with treatment that I have refused to tolerate in many others, words and actions and expectations that I would never accept from a colleague, a boyfriend, a roommate or a stranger. But I will no longer choose injury over truth just because it may be what the nameless, faceless “they” out there think is right.

Emotion is a tool, not a master, and so, after decades of trying to get there, I graduate from the school of emotion and will no longer be ruled by its overbearing and ever-changing rules. I am the wiser for my journey. I know myself to be sensitive and gifted and have turned my energies and attentions to implementing these things for the force of positivity and light on this Earth.

It is so nice to feel free of societal expectation, of emotional patterns and of fearful thinking. I chose right action and by that I mean what is right for me to live in joy, peace and positivity each and every day.

In every way I work to free myself from the burdens and blackness sometimes inserted into my existence by a fearful mind and a wounded heart, to open my myself up to acceptance and happiness and hope. In working on my own relationship with myself I have finally come to the place where I can cleanse from my life relationships that do not bring that desired joy, peace and positivity into my life.

Here, at the crossroads, I put down my baggage…this old valise and the big rucksack, not to mention that steel steamer trunk that weighs so much. And, in moving forward without this baggage of anger and guilt, I must inform the world that, just as I no longer will carry my own, I certainly will not be given your negative baggage to take along with me on my path.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world. Begin with yourself. Namaste.
