Respect Free Will

★Your Habit of Thought

As a habit of thought, when you tell someone something, you tend to think, “Why don’t they understand?” and try to make them understand by using every word to fill in what’s needed for your ideas to be understood.

But that’s actually uncalled-for meddling; it has become an act of trying to make them understand.

So I’d like to encourage in you the awareness to gracefully accept the fact that when you convey words to people, they can be understood in many ways depending on how they’re received, and that there are many levels of receiving them.

★Your Realization

For example, many years ago, you looked at yourself, your surface consciousness, reflected in a mirror and realized, “This person I thought was me actually wasn’t me.”

So since then, the new realizations that come to your heart have always been invitations for you yourself to evolve to the next step, and when others saw them, they weren’t necessarily easy to understand, common to everyone.

However many times you tell people, “The self you thought was you isn’t your true self,” few people understand that fact the way you do.

If you explain to someone who hasn’t had the same experience, “You are not you,” the most you’ll get is being rejected: “No, I think something’s wrong with your head. That’s strange.”

And yet, if you then try to turn it around further and talk them into it, “No, no, such-and-such is so-and-so…,” the other person has their own ideas and common sense, so it only makes them more stubborn, right?

★Respect the Awakening of Consciousness Through Free Will

So it’s fine to tell people what you think is good, but there’s no need to force how they receive it, and trying to make them correct themselves is out of the question.

Each person has their own best timing for the flower of life to bloom.

You already understand this well enough in your head, but you only know it; it hasn’t yet become your common sense.

So you need to deepen your heart one more level and have the discernment to recognize that timing.

Today’s talk has nothing to do with most people; it’s a talk for you personally.

Engrave today’s talk in your heart and reflect carefully on your own actions.

All right?
