Hi Carla, Monica and Gary!
I sometimes have the pleasure of dealing with a person who is definitely polarizing towards service to self. He uses his charisma and deception to acquire power - which is fundamentally at odds with the way I view existence. I should also mention that myself and this power oriented individual have had conflict in the past about his inappropriate use of power. My way of dealing with people that I am fed up with like this, to this point, has been to simply ignore them on a personal basis (give them the silent treatment) and when the opportunity arises, to honestly point out their behavior to others. Of course, I have the deeper understanding in my core of the dance between the polarities, and of course that all is well.
Yesterday, I came across this transcript from a Q'uo session (excerpted):
http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0409.aspx
B: I have a final question. Those who seek the light, is there a way we can protect ourselves from those who seek the darkness?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother. We are most grateful that you have queried in this regard, for there is, indeed, the means by which any seeker of light might provide itself with a protection from such influence. Though it seems quite a foolish thing to do, the means is to enter, within one’s own heart, within the state of meditation or prayer and to find as much heartfelt love as one can generate and offer it to those that would wish one less than well, and to bathe these entities in this love and in that light and to offer to them that unconditional love from the heart which is so sweet and delicate to those of the positive polarity but which has the opposite effect upon those of the negative polarity.
However, we must remind each that it is necessary that the intention for such a protection be not to resist or to cause the entities of negative polarity any discomfort at all, but to simply offer the heartfelt love to such entities and then to bathe the self in the armor of love and light and to offer this love as often as is necessary in order that the protection and wall of light be constructed about the entity in a pure and heartfelt manner. Thus, the positive and negative poles offer a natural boundary, shall we say, or resistance, each to the other, for a certain portion of time and experience before the unification of these polarities is accomplished within the sixth-density illusion, as we spoke previously.
--end excerpt--
I feel that if I physically showed some sort of love and acceptance to this power oriented individual that I would be enabling him - he needs my acceptance to give him more power because of the position I hold. It's not a workplace situation, where people are often stuck kissing up to their bosses.
So to shorten my question, what would Jesus do and be when having to deal with a power and ego oriented individual in my circumstance on a daily or weekly basis? Both in outward physical behavior and thought/feeling..
Thanks in advance,
Scott
PS - The radio show is great!
