Journal of the day 2022-02-18:
I don’t like an unattainable goal. Yet this explains CY22 Q1 OBJ4 KR2 which calls for a clear plan due in a month for a deliverable 4 months away which I originally estimated to be 10 months away. That being said, perhaps it could be done sooner and I will do my best. In service we must sometimes put our own opinions aside and allow for others to take the lead. This is the way we work together. Urgency need not be implied, but an unrealistic deadline may perhaps accelerate the delivery of a project even if the time slips. I will do my best.
The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:
On communication; practice deep listening and respond clearly explaining what was heard. If each party practices this, deep understanding between others can be reached. You may find it necessary to repeat this process as the mind has a tendency to wander. Try to remain aware and above dullness. By practicing deep listening, thoughtful responding, and compassion, we can heal separations that were once thought insurmountable. Imagine a thread of love without beginning or end flowing through these interactions. This is the way we move forward, stepping through instances of true connection.
The other element that must be present during communication is forgiveness, first for oneself and secondly for all others. We need not understand the context of what needs to be forgiven by the ego mind, just remember, we all understand the form of unlovingness; it is this cause that rests at the root of all effects of aversion and none of us is unstained by the aftermath. Know that I have forgiven everything, in a flash of an instant after the entirety of these experiences were conceived; as will you. Do not doubt you will be welcomed home to reside in peace with me the moment you accept and give forward the forgiveness that has been laid upon the table for all eternity. All of your brothers and sisters share this gift with you in boundless abundance, not one left behind.
By combining boundless forgiveness, remaining aware, intently listening and responding with thoughtful validation between two or more beings practicing this same method, amazing things can be accomplished and the journey homeward will quicken through halls of sympathetic joy so profound that you will long for nothing else. Believe this is in me and in you and we will rest in the joyful heart from which we sprang.
