FREED FROM THE URGE TO REACT

I pass the following on as an important lesson from my own experience: We will be given credit for some beautiful words that we have never said...in fact, never had the good sense to say. Conversely, we will be all but slandered for words that never would we speak because we have too much good sense than to utter them.

Here's the nut of the lesson: We are only responsible for the words (and our intent behind them) that we actually say. We are not responsible for what others hear us say, nor are we responsible for how others choose to interpret what they hear us say.

As we remember this, we are freed from the urge to react...to in any way glory in the beautiful and feel guilty or to resist the slander and feel fury. It does not apply to us...we say our inner thank you in either case and mentally walk on by.

Words, the speaking of words, is the least important thing we do to "pass it on." They are not unnecessary, they are just the least necessary. It is our consciousness, our experience unto doing without thought and as we breathe, that shows forth as the invitation for others to see and to accept or reject as their consciousness dictates.

We are [I am] shows forth for others to see. If we never said a word, our inner Self would show forth as the personal invitation to others...and theirs, then, to do with as they chose.

Thank you.
