“My sister just won’t stop for a minute to hear me out,” Milly, a new acquaintance, said.

“She has all these judgments about me and my faith. She doesn’t see me as a person. It’s like she’s talking to her projection of what she thinks I might be.”

I reflected on this.

Here are two insights that might help you.

1. You push, and they push back.

Ever try to explain your faith to someone? And, they just push back. Telling you that you’re wrong and that they know—better than you—what your spiritual path is.

Arrogant, right?

You push facts, and they push fiction.
But what does the pushing get?
Nothing good.

2. Invite the Gods to help you lower your “intensity.”

Have you noticed that when someone says unfair and ignorant things against you, it’s your internal “intensity” that rises?

Here is a prayer that you can use to help you lower your intensity.

I breathe in and bring in the love of the Gods.
I breathe out and let go of my anxiety.
I breathe in and bring in clarity.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
I breathe in calm.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
I breathe in peace within my integrity.
I breathe out and let go of my intensity.
May the Gods bless me.
So Mote It Be

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
