Orange and yellow chakra development

[Louisabell]

Overconfidence, selfishness, and stupidity repelled me today. now what? how do I balance?

Doing balancing exercises this way has helped me tremendously. This is how I see it - You can't perceive qualities in others that you haven't experienced within yourself. So your repulsion of these qualities in others is a projection of the inner repulsion towards your own capacity to act overconfident, selfish and stupid.

Doesn't everyone have that capacity?

Yes, that is my working theory under unity - that we contain all things within us as the microcosm of the macrocosm.

why doesn't everyone react that way?

Are you asking why doesn't everyone feel repelled by these qualities? Firstly, many people will not interpret behaviour the same way. If the behaviour of another reminds them of qualities that they normalise or enjoy within their own personality, then they will have a positive bias. Overconfidence is interpreted as assertiveness, selfishness is "knowing what you want and going after it", stupidity is seen as "telling it how it is".

Having said that, on average, when people are repelled by negative qualities in others they rarely see any differentiation between the qualities and the actual person expressing them, so they very much believe that the other person is simply a repulsive object. Their problem is not that humans (including one's self) are capable of these negative qualities, presenting complicated issues to deal with in the world, no, their problem is squarely with Joe or Jessica or Bob.

This is an example of how an orange ray blockage causes limitations in yellow-ray understanding.

Think of times that you have expressed these qualities and distill these emotions until you see how you were reacting from a place of innocence. Maybe you were scared, maybe just naive, maybe just starved for love. Then you get to a place where you can identify the energy signatures of these qualities, but they don't trigger a repulsive response because you can see the fear/niavity/hunger in it. Of course this doesn't mean you have to acquiesce to the person.

Surely you don't believe that every other person that doesn't react the same way as me, sees the fear/naivity/hunger in it, right?

You're right, I don't believe this. This response is moving towards expressing compassion for every act and is truly advanced.

42.4 Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel an emotional response when being attacked by the other-self?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The response is love.

I would say that, on the whole, people who do not appear troubled by what repels you, probably fall into the following categories - they aren't aware enough to pick up on these energies (they just take things on face value), they have a positive bias (which is just as unbalanced as a negative bias, and could also potentially lead one down dark roads), or they portray indifference (they are still perceiving it negatively, but have the belief that they shouldn't judge, etc).  

Hope that clears up what I was trying to say.
