Trained in Thought, Word, and Action

[native]

Here's part of 4.14..I'm interested in the word part of it:

"Therefore, those of the first type, those who seek to serve and are willing to be trained in thought, word, and action are those who will be able to comfortably maintain the distortion towards service in the area of healing."

Since the ".. mind, body, and spirit are inextricably intertwined and cannot continue, one without the other.", I think it's little considered how the simplest of statements can cause all sorts of distortion, which brings up the idea of be trained in word. So I think it's important that when we speak, we speak in a positive manner about things. I do my best to be joyful and share an uplifting positive outlook on things. It also makes sense that if words are vibration containing thought which carries with it a particular type of energy, the very words we speak must have a magical effect on reality.

About a year ago I realized that there was an area in which I wasn't walking in unity as best as I could, and that had to do with the words I was speaking. Most examples were small such as venting about coworkers, but others had to do with larger issues such as politics, social issues etc. Have you ever noticed how easily it is to just speak negatively of things, even when you're aware of the unity? It can sometimes take a lot of discipline to not indulge in such a mindset.

When others would bring up a particular issue, however large or small, if I would respond with separative words they would naturally latch onto that mindset. I realized that when I would refrain from speaking in such a manner at all, disharmonious conversation that was quite typical began to fade away, or particular catalyst would manifest itself to offer a lesson. I think this is because if you listen to conversation, people are mostly looking for validation of their thoughts.

The tricky issue here is that since there is no right or wrong, their thoughts are entirely ok and the goal is to see yourself in the other, yet you might not necessarily want the distortion to run wild so to speak. So since "The first giving beyond green ray is the giving of acceptance or freedom, thus allowing the recipient of blue-ray energy transfer the opportunity for a feeling of being accepted, thus freeing that other-self to express itself to the giver of this ray." ..I kindly acknowledge their confusion and say little if anything at all and just sort of let their observations rest within themselves.

So most importantly, I prefer to not see myself as a guiding teacher. I approach this aspect of service from the context wherein I am seeing myself in the situation and learning how to best respond in unity..learning how to best give what is being asked of me..discipline of the personality. So when I hear what feels to be separative energy, I see it as a challenge to do my own seeking and see myself, and to respond with compassion and acceptance.

For those who don't know the quote, venting and reacting to catalyst is important of course.. "The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray."

I also don't intend that all of this has to be serious business and stuffy. I tend to try and diffuse such situations with playfulness and humor.
