Where we lead...

[zanny]

what a reassuring and beautiful message you received, thank you so much for sharing it zanny x

It can be a truly difficult lesson, to realize we cannot force anyone to change for the better. Leading by example seems pointless sometimes, but that is only because the other person must be willing to follow in your footsteps. Godspeed in your endeavor, and try to take it easy on yourself... even though you are her mother, you are not her.

Yes Turtle...Too true~! Thank you for your kindness always~!

Zany, I bless your HEART with LOVE. It is a challenge to LOVE others where they are at--- at yet with acceptance transformation often occurs. Peace Pilgrim, Peace Pilgrim demonstrated this by living her life in a state of acceptance.

I must say, I am not there yet--- but working on it!

When witnessing a loved ones self-destructiveness it is extremely difficult to stay in a place of acceptance. http://michaelteachings.com/ provides some very accurate insights on different roles and modes, and chief negative features we play while on EARTH and how to shift a negative pattern into a positive pattern. For instance, the Chief Negative Feature of Self-Destruction when in the negative pole of behavior can be shifted to the positive Pole of Self-Actualization. This is acheived by working with a goal. For instance, many times Self-Destruction patterns have the goal of self-acceptance and acceptance of other selves. Self-acceptance is facilitated by forgiving the Self and other selves or by the forgiveness of another demonstrated by leading by example.

Energy Entrainment is a principle of the Law of Attraction. Energy Entrainment is where more than one(regular humans) or ONE unified Luminous Human (activated Wanderers etc) creates an energetic pattern (ie Love, Forgiveness, Joy, Truth) and all that comes into that Energy Matrix then is entrained to step up vibration to match the Energetic Pattern. Now this principle of the Law of Attraction works on the other spectrum as well.

I Love the song that the Guides, Helpers and/or Beings of Light sent to you. Mary had a Little Lamb.

There are other resources available as well. PM if you are interested.

Thank you for the info fairyfarmgirl. I have read the Micheal teachings. I will look into the rest...

I was rushed in my earlier post so I will just add a bit.

I believe that a big part of the lesson here was not only where I am leading but where and when I am being led... Because I believe in this scenario I was often "the lamb". In the guise of helping I would get drawn into my daughters darkness and "get stuck" to where she was not the only one suffering...I was and frankly so was the rest of my family. To put it better I will make it less personal...

Example: A friend could be angry and want to express that anger with me...(whether or not I am the person they are angry at or not.) I can respond to that anger with anger and be led to that place and feed the fire- so to speak- so that now we are both angry. Or I can choose to not be led. This more than anything has been a big lesson for me... Especially because I believe that I am an empath and would often find myself being drawn into others suffering. So I have been learning to lead more and be led less...Does that make sense to anyone else?

I feel I am learning to be a leader...Not like of nations or anything, but more of a leader of my own path. :idea:

Amazing to me how much I can get out of such a simple song...lol

Thanks Lorna, Turtle and Fairyfarmgirl for responing and alowing me to ramble on...
