I ask because I have a "real" life situation that I feel illustrates a "boundary violation. I'm sure I'm supposed to be learning from this situation, but it still confounds me.
I have a neighbor (bless all our neighbors - what a treasure trove of catalyst we all are for each other)! This neighbor is very picky about how his yard looks. He is out almost every day putting down chemicals, mowing, or doing something in his yard. He would like for everyone in the neighborhood to have a yard like his. And I admit, it looks quite beautiful - he even mows those diamond patterns into the grass.
I'm organic. I don't believe that having a yard like his is worth the price of poisioning the Earth, not to mention the fact that we have a very sandy soil here and we all have well water. My yard looks OK, but just that. I do go out and pull, pull, pull the weeds, and have also used a spot torch to burn some of the worst of them (those awful stickers!), but I make a compost tea for feed, and don't mind the clover at all.
The neighbor and I have discussed our conflicting viewpoints many times. In my yard. With him trying to "convince" me how important the quality of the yard is to property values, to being good neighbors etc. Last summer, we had to officially ask Neighbor to respect our property boundaries as he was sneaking over and putting weed killer on our side of the line - actually quite far into our property.
The man is known in the neigborhood as one who trys to intimidate people into getting his own way at their expense.
I have been trying to find a way to repel his negative energy, which is quite strong, and still shed Creator's light on the situation.
Through this situation I can certainly understand what Ra means about losing polarity when doing this sort of thought battle.
I'm not sure if I have adequately explained this scenario, so feel free to ask questions. And I'm not even really sure if this quite fits in with your post. But your post made me think about this situation, so I thought I'd share it and see if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.
Love and light and green clover!
YIKES! He's putting WEED KILLER in your yard?...Drop off a copy of Silent Spring on his porch...
