“Some of you think that if you were truly an evolved being, you would have been born to parents who raised you in environments of total love and support. You think that you would already be fully evolved and perfect by now, never experiencing any pain or negativity.
Instead, many of you wanted to be born into environments that would teach you about the energies in the world and help you become accustomed to them at an early age.
You do not become strong by seeking those situations that keep you sheltered and protected; you become strong by learning to navigate all the different kinds of weather and finding your strength and direction from within.
If you have felt any resentment because y
ou had a difficult childhood, let go of it, and appreciate all the strength you gained from the situations you grew up with.
At various times in your life you may have been around people whom you had trouble loving. Look at the circumstances you have in your life right now. If you are around people or energies you aren’t comfortable with, see them as offering you opportunities for spiritual growth by teaching you more about becoming transparent.
L
earning how to stay calm and centered in your own energy while experiencing the energies, thoughts, and feelings of the people around you might be called ‘being transparent.’
The thoughts and feelings of people you have the most trouble harmonizing with are the very ones that will give you the most growth when you do learn to be transparent with them.
That is why you have attracted these people into your life.
… you will continually attract people with similar energies until you learn how to stay balanced and in your center around them.”
