Matt Kahn – People That Hurt You

“Can you imagine the person who hurt you the most? Instead of focusing on their unsavory behavior, are you able to notice how deeply in pain someone must be in order to have treated you in such a way? Are you able to shift from “why did this happen to me?” to “I acknowledge the pain of those who hurt others”, as a way of transforming victimhood through the light of empowerment? The first step of forgiveness isn’t necessarily a willingness to forgive, but adjusting your attention to see how deeply others are hurting. 

While you are not the cause of their pain or deserving of such abusive behavior, your willingness to notice their pain with perhaps even more awareness than they have within themselves, makes you one less person to add to their burden, which assists both the victim and victimizer into greater horizons of healing. You don’t have to like how someone acts, or even work toward being ok with anything that happened, when this moment becomes an open-ended opportunity to empathize with the tumultuous journey of another. 

Through the laws of Unity Consciousness, may you discover how acknowledging the pain in anyone who harmed you — invites deeper healing into your life as well. You certainly don’t have to be best friends with any attacker, and yet, each breath invites you to see how begrudging, judging, or shaming those who hurt you only increases the likelihood that others will be hurt. In order to spare others of the hardships each of us were so blessed to survive, the grace of forgiveness begins with surrendering the fuel we often douse on the flames of conflict, by noticing the pain of others instead of despising how we were treated.

As always, you don’t have to hate an enemy, in order to love the one who was wronged. One “I love you” at a time, your attention is more focused on embracing the one who was hurt, which equally sends healing blessings to free each being of pain, so that no one else may be harmed in response to the ongoing growth and expansion of life’s eternal journey. This is today’s invitation.”

After thirty years of teaching Inner City, Special Education students and forty-five years of metaphysical studies, I have decided to share my life's philosophical understandings on this wonderful website. For me, everything in my life has been a spiritual experience from being raised in an alcoholic household, to marriage and teaching, and finally caring for an Alzheimer parent. I have sought at least fifteen, personal psychic readings to try and assist me as a wife, teacher and caretaker. I want to share the wisdom that I have gained from following the valuable spiritual guidance from my inner knowing and from heeding the advise of channeled answers from trusted psychics. At almost 70 years old, I am writing, traveling and enjoying retirement in Florida.
