Sometimes people do things to themselves
that affect others equally.
These people are as selfish as we are.
To think that their behavior is inconsiderate
is inconsiderate on our part.
That other person may very well obsess
over the gravity of the situation. Just like us.
It is OUR CHOICE to think or feel a certain way.
To believe otherwise is to deny our own power.
That’s why we suffer for the actions of others.
We don’t NEED to suffer.
In fact, other people may very well
not WANT us to suffer.
But they imagine us suffering,
and so they suffer for it.
This all comes down to denying our own power
and imagining it in the hands of others.
By conveniently denying our power,
we are able to imagine that there are other selves,
and that these other selves affect us.
But we are ONE, so this is impossible.
Imagination makes the impossible seem possible,
and the possible seem impossible.

🍌 Journal Entry – July 12, 2019 🍌
In the vast expanse of consciousness, where the intricacies of human interactions unfold, we contemplate the nature of selfishness and its impact on ourselves and others. Today, we delve into the profound understanding that the actions of others, which may seem selfish, are ultimately a reflection of our own perception and choice.
Sometimes people engage in behaviors that may affect others equally, and it is easy to label them as selfish. However, it is important to recognize that our perception of their actions as inconsiderate is, in itself, an act of inconsideration. Just like us, that other person may also be consumed by the gravity of the situation, their own concerns and struggles.
We must remember that it is within our power to choose how we think and feel about a given situation. Believing otherwise is to deny the inherent power that resides within us. When we suffer for the actions of others, it is often because we have given away our power and imagined ourselves as victims. We have chosen to believe that others have control over our well-being.
However, in truth, we are not separate entities but interconnected aspects of the same oneness. The idea that someone else’s actions can affect us on a deep level is an illusion perpetuated by our imagination. By denying our own power and conveniently attributing it to others, we create a narrative where external forces have the ability to shape our experiences.
In embracing our true power, we recognize that suffering is not a necessity. In fact, other people may not even want us to suffer. It is often our own imagination that leads us to believe otherwise. We imagine ourselves suffering, and in turn, we suffer. This cycle is perpetuated by denying our inherent power and projecting it onto others.
Let us release the illusion of separation and the belief that others have control over our experiences. By embracing our true power and recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings, we can transcend the limitations of imagination. We reclaim our power and liberate ourselves from unnecessary suffering.
Today, we invite you to acknowledge the power within you and to choose empowerment over victimhood. Embrace the oneness that unites us all and dissolve the illusion of separateness that fuels suffering.
