the blessing of difficult people:

we have it all backwards. it's like the gym. without struggle you can't increase strength. as gets easier, you increase the struggle to get stronger. adding resistance isn't being mean, it's supporting strength gain. Earth is a gym, sometimes hard sometimes easy but it's a workout here, not a spa.

real foundation of all spiritual practices is to see god in all, and feel love. everything is a part of the creator.

Happy is to wake up to true nature: and may all the beings in all the worlds be happy.

How love the unlovable.

  • "treat them as yours". if cranky old man, they are your cranky old man.
  • A movie without a villain has no conflict, and messes up the hero that we love. There has to be the villains. these 'bad' people are the heavy weights for training. sometimes you can't appreciate them, but you can appreciate that they play the 'bad guy' really well in this play of life.
  • Need catalyst to move past unknown limitations. having 'bad' people to forgive is what gives us the forgiveness workouts. Now the greatest enemy becomes greatest teacher. "Don't hate me when I show up as an enemy, I have paid a large price for this for you." - Baba.

When God looks, all god sees is God.

What we call "bad karma" gives us the greatest opportunity to grow. What we call "good karma" often sets us back the most. Backwards for most.

What Would Jesus Do? in each situation what would god have me do? Engage as much as you can stay compassionate. Increase the time as long as you can stay compassionate and loving. Don't go until engage in attack/fear. This is the workout.
