You're welcome! Great that someone thought that it clarified some important things for them!
I noticed that they didn't really answer the question (as I would perhaps would want it to), but I understand that they wouldn't want to infringe on anyone's seeking process and that all the answers lie within. With that said, I think that I'm still as confused about this question as before. Though now I understand that if I want a clear-cut answer to this question I need to meditate more upon it.
Let me give an example about what exactly confuses me. For instance, say that I get really upset at someone because this person says something shockingly negative about me in my face. There are thoughts that start spinning in my head. Couple of these thoughts are:
1. Do these people really exist here right now in these last days of Harvest? What the heck does a person like this doing here right now? Shouldn't they be at another Earth by this time continuing their third density lessons?
2. This Earth would be so much a better place without people like that. And I can take sh*t like that, but this person goes around and say things like to other people and just throws and throws this negativity around him/herself.
3. Oh, maybe this person should look at itself more often in the mirror to see stuff in itself instead of throwing sh*t that exists inside of him/herself around to other people.
4. Why don't people realize that you can't just walk around and throw your sh*t around like that and hope for a better place?
And there is more and more in this direction. And because I get so upset, my mind starts to find all the equally mean and sharp answers back at this person in order to "take this person down".
Well, in order to work on oneself, I need to take my own sh*t to meditation and work with it there, not in front of that person. Then you find your own issues and can work with them there. But if you immediately try to find the Creator inside that person and love in the moment, the catalyst disappears, at least for me. Then you jump right into an understanding of this person with thoughts like "ah, he/she must really hate this or that, and that is why this person is so mean to me because of this issue" or "wow this person can't really see love in this issue and it's good that he/she is so outspoken and honest so that I know where this person stands" etc.
Both of these ways of working are correct in my opinion and you could probably do both in the way they are presented. It's just that if I do find an understanding for someone's mean behavior, I don't feel the catalyst inside of me as intensively, and therefore it is harder to find everything inside in order to do effective inner work.
End rant.
I still can't completely describe what I mean in regards to work with inner self vs. finding love/understanding in the moment. Finding understanding in the moment smoothes the catalyst and then it's not as easy to work with it than it would be when you feel this catalyst intensively I guess.
Anyways, good that you found clarity in this, Jade! I'd love if you could share some of it here.
