Health isn't about reaching for some ideal, objective state, it is about becoming whole through the acceptance of the totality of the self, all parts whether mundane, magical or divine.
...it absolutely baffles me that individuals are told they are not exactly where they are supposed to be or that they are somehow incapable of working with and processing their own catalyst.
Hey Tanner, I pretty much agree with the shape of your thoughts, especially that health and wholeness are about accepting who people as they are - and accepting the self as it is. And most especially I agree with the love that motivated your post.
A question for you that's not about AdonaiOne, but about the principle of the situation. If your (wise and good) counsel was exercised to the fullest, though, wouldn't it prevent you from writing your post altogether?
By that I mean, instead of accepting the actions of those who are relating to AdonaiOne in ways you find undesirable, your post suggests that there is wrongness in those actions, or misalignment in those actions, and that perhaps a change should be made. Ergo, non-acceptance of these other-selves' seemingly non-accepting ways.
Again, I in general agree with you! I'm just wondering regarding your thoughts on what might be an innocent contradiction in the situation in a spirit of conversation and investigation into the principles at play. I could, naturally, be entirely mistaken.
Also, and again this is not about AdonaiOne specifically, but about reflecting to other selves in general, what say you about this Ra-bite:
Quote:101.8 The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly. This is not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the total admiration which overcomes discrimination.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, but love unexplained is clearer. - Rumi
