Good morning wonderful people boys and girls. Briefly let's talk about understanding. Talking points for understanding today is what came through. What is understanding?
This is what I call the balance point of interactions. I'll share the balance all these points with you as they have come to me this morning and what is it?
Probably one of the most tricky parts of interaction of human beings is understanding.
When I say I understand you or I understand such and such a situation or I understand what to do, I understand blah blah blah whatever it is.
What is it? Understanding is that energy that is a balanced approach to interactions with nature, people and world and all around us.
So it's the blending of heart energy and mind energy. That's why it is very tricky because it can number of things can play out here. What are those?
To feel your individual experience, knowledge and your emotional connect in a way that tends to harmonize, to bring into harmony, to bring into give and take kind of energy.
It creates peace in any situation. It is a way of active peaceful energies. You are actively being peaceful. Now it seems kind of contradictory because peace people think is I just rest back, relax and let everybody do whatever they want to do.
That's not peace. That's a very passive form of peace. This is an active peace because you're bringing understanding in whatever you're doing in the work, in the relationships.
So it's creating an active peaceful energy in your daily life. This is probably the most misunderstood of all situations, of all energies since the claim of quote unquote understanding another person or interaction or situation is very relative to the individual.
They are bringing, there's a social programming, their circumstances, their culture, their astrological tendencies, you know what we spoke of in the other podcast Ascendant, your moon, Mars, Venus and other energies and so forth.
So you see why this makes it very difficult and very complex kind of energy to understand. There is no one way we can convey understanding. Understanding can be multi dimensional in itself like the human beings are.
It is not universal. There is no one way a human understands and it's true for all each one understands it a different way and it's the way it is built. So we've got to learn how to work with it rather than kind of tending to oppose it or tending to bring something out of the blue.
You know, this is not a magic hat. It is not universal. There's no universal way of understanding.
One person's understanding may not be the other person's understanding. It's all relative. We defund your member work, your friends, anybody.
Each soul grows and learns and becomes a different person inside constantly in ways that are very individual to each one of us. We are very individual people.
We don't have to sacrifice the individuality for the sake of harmonizing with the collective. In fact, we are going to accomplish more in this civilization if we bring each of our unique understanding in the picture.
That's what even critical thinking is about. So how can I be more understanding? That's the second part we come to.
The first step is always to examine your own internal reactions of thoughts and emotions. Are you getting triggered to respond to something? You see something on social media, on Twitter, and all these dozens of social media stuff we have.
Are you getting triggered to respond? Are you feeling the heart energy there to offer? Because the mind will go and react into whatever is going on.
Your heart center has to come in order for that understanding to develop. So remember, it's an offering. Understanding is an offering. It's offering of yourself in a higher way, in a higher dimension.
So what does this constitute? Understanding is a gift of offering another. Not for the sake of this or that, not with some hidden agenda, not with getting some favors in return, just an offering without conditions.
If that is what you're feeling, then it is in the right place to offer. This is the way to check your interactions, check your situations. Which place are you coming from? Is it too much of mental energy? Too much of emotional energy?
Well, the balance point is that, what do I call understanding. Many times, it comes from wounds. We all have wounds from our childhood, from the way this damaged society has brought each one of us up.
This is a very damaged society that we live in. It doesn't matter even which country. We are told and brought up in terms of if you do this, then you will get the rewards.
If you do this, then or else, there's always an axe hanging over every one of our necks all the time. So that's a very damaged way of living.
We have all been brought up like that. So that carries wounds there. So you've got to check many times if it comes from wounds that one has accumulated from their present or past life experience even.
That makes it even more complex. Or from low self-image, one has about oneself. Are you reacting because you want to show off something you're feeling lack of in yourself?
That's one thing. Wanting to one up the other, the ego standpoint, right? I am better than you in this. I know better than you do.
Or I know what you're talking about. I know will make it very egoistic. It's not balanced there in the heart center, is it?
I know more than or better than this person or situation. Would not be wise to engage claiming you understand. You really don't understand there.
Not the full picture at least. You might understand in bits and pieces and the danger in offering anything or engaging with people situations in a half picture kind of way, either the mental or the emotion is you're missing the other half.
And if you're missing one half of the story, then you're not really having an understanding of the situation or the person.
Would be better to be quiet and reflect inside yourself first. Expanding understanding. We are talking about the four action points how we can create. We came to expand.
So how do we expand our understanding? How do we do that? Unraveling the threads within your inner self, your thoughts, your emotions is a good way to start developing understanding.
Unraveling is like taking a complex woven sort of tapestry and unwinding it, removing one thread at a time. You remove one thread at a time. So you know the complete picture is a good way to start developing understanding how you specifically understand the world around you.
And why do you understand it the way you do? Astrology could be a very important tool here. Remember, it's just a tool.
Just one of the many tools we have today. We have so many tools available. So many good kind of sciences. There is neuro linguistic programming. There is psychology of all kinds. You can research this.
Asking yourself questions and allowing answers to come in. Probably one of the most difficult part. People want to, mind wants to give a question and it tends to answer it itself.
Well, mind, as I said before, it only a repository of the past. It does not hold the future. You have to create the future.
Mind can only bring in the past. So where do you bring in the future from? You have to allow your higher wisdom to descend into your mind.
Okay, asking yourself questions and allowing answers to come in. Not trying to answer it with your mind and accumulated perceptions or beliefs. We all have accumulated perceptions or beliefs of some kind.
Just being in the question and allowing answers to come through hours and days. And it will, it always comes. Trust me, it always comes.
Questions like what kind of questions? What is it about this that I am not getting? What is triggering me in the situation? What would it take to transform or shift the situation in a harmonious way inside me?
Because remember, all this perception is happening inside you, whether it is mental or emotional, it is still happening inside you. You are the one suffering your own thoughts and emotions.
Frame your questions yourself in a way that only you know how best to do it. For you are unique. And you have your own style of doing this. You have your own approach. You have your own understanding. You have your own life experience.
Next, we come to the engage part of it. How do you engage understanding? Engage here could mean either with people or it could be also meaning engaging with situations. These both are different.
Let's see. For both are never the same. A situation is more complex than a person or a group of people. When talking about understanding, a situation could demand more of your understanding.
But in terms of, and I quote here, what needs to be accomplished here now? Focusing on the task, being objective. Okay. Being objective about the task.
A group of people have met you're in a meeting room and you're trying to accomplish a task, focus on the task, not on the individuals or the persons. It becomes an ego battle. Otherwise.
Okay. What could be more appropriate for me to do be or engage with with this person right now? If it's a person with people, sometimes it is just silent being silent, being present, acknowledging and receiving the other person.
Let the other person speak is full story is our full story without trying to shift or change anything. Don't try to keep having your agenda as a push your own stuff. Don't be full of yourself all the time. It's not going to work.
Whereas the situation is never the case of just stand by and watch when it comes to situations. When it comes to situations, you can't just say I'll stand by and watch. You have to do something about it.
Situations involve people in plural, many people, many aspects. So it is better to bring in the more visor you, the inner you, the intuition, the knowing. Intuition comes from here. Knowing comes from the gut.
You can even tune in, close your eyes, sit down and focus on your gut and tell me, give me some answers for this. Whatever problem that you're having.
So, whatever we, yeah, it is important to bring in the more visor you, the inner you, the intuition and knowing and the experience you have.
This is where experience makes one visor in life. Why are experienced people more visor in life? Because they have this broader understanding. They have tuned into their knowing more often or they have had opportunities to.
So I've never spent their time trying to reflect. They think it's a waste of time. If you think it's a waste of time, good luck with it.
All this is a combined energy of I have to act on this. I have to action this. Take steps, measures, procedures, work the puzzle in any situation.
So situations have to be handled a little differently than people. People have to be more, you have to be present with them.
Situations, you have to ask questions and engage your higher knowing.
Next, we come to regenerate understanding. How do we regenerate understanding? Probably this is the most useful step because understanding is a very introverted, introspective kind of energy.
Most useful step in before you decide to start creating greater levels of understanding. So before you go to creation of part of it, first try to regenerate.
Regenerating understanding requires you to quieten your super busy minds just even for five minutes a day. You can expand this time as you choose.
Step back from your own mind and it's constant chatter. Breathe. Just watch the breath for some time.
Knowing that all is well always has been so. It doesn't matter what your personal life circumstances are or what the world circumstances are with all the craziness going on in 2022 right now
or anything or anyone at all. What your mind thinks is not what the reality is. 99% of the time. Reality is a very vast space.
So what you think the way it should be, step aside from all of that. Step aside, let it remain. You don't have to destroy anything.
You don't have to start meddling with stuff or trying to fix things.
Step aside, stand beside it as if like stepping aside. All of the stuff what I think is right, let it be here in this seat and I'm in the seat next to it.
Now who is the person next to it is the one you need to get into. All of the other junk of life can remain in the seat next to you.
Not doing anywhere. It will come back later.
So allow your higher understanding from your higher self to percolate, drip down into you.
I can assure you personally it will. It will help and it has surprised me over and over again. Every single day it surprises me what the higher self brings into you.
Perhaps it may be a very simple aspect that you have not considered before or whatever I occupied your mind because of too much occupied vessel is too full.
You have to empty out the vessel for a new one to come in. That's how you create the future from the present.
Simply that you allowed space and created a temporary empty vessel inside your mind for something higher to drip feed you and not change.
That's the rich and red portion. Then we create to come into the create portion, the create portion of this, the top blue circle.
Remember we are talking about the aspects of the human being and how the four actions can be used to enhance this. This is the new human being model down here.
So create is the last step in developing understanding.
When I said developing understanding you already have some you need to up the level. You need to up the notch of your understanding in order to become a really smarter, more integrated person working beyond the ego ideals.
This is forward step after regeneration. After you have followed all the above steps above, now you are ready to create understanding in your daily life.
Be it with friends, with family, situations, work, business, etc. etc.
And as you accomplish all of the above you will find that it's a natural step. This is like natural step. You'll find a natural inclination to create it.
Why? Because if you develop the higher understanding, you develop the higher aspect which connects to this whole humanity, the whole reality.
It creates that bridge of understanding which is beyond the ego. It will empower you in a heart centered way in all that you do and be in this world.
We can stop with that. We have finished about 15 minutes.
So think about this. Ponder this. How are you going to use your understanding? Do you develop all these kinds of steps? Do you use it in all your coaching methods?
Do you use it in your whatever practice that you do as counselors, as mentors, whatever it is. I'm just sharing some talking points so that it spurs in you the ways to actually implement understanding for individual.
All beings are a little more harmonious. That's it from me folks. Take care. Be safe. Be awesome.
