Title: Higher self negotiation
Post by: Vyana on Aug 14, 2005, 04:55:32 AM
About a month ago I asked Mystress for a higher self negotiation concerning a very severe conflict that is affecting me and my family deeply (and other people too). Now I am supposed to keep my ego %ldquoout of it%rdquo and rely on the outcome of the negotiation. But does that mean that I should avoid conflict at all means or that I should act as I would have if there had been no negotiation?

In two weeks from now I am meeting a person who will most likely suggest in principle that status quo is preserved (my situation cannot get much worse) and that I should accept that. My normal reaction would have been that I would not accept status quo, but that - if I had a reason to - I would give them the benefit of doubt until they had proven what they were up to. Then, it would probably not have taken long before something happened that would have proved that the situation was still the same. When that had happened I would have asked for help from outside and that would probably have started a major fight.

I don%rsquot really understand how to distinguish between the different perspectives (or levels) in relation to this. On the one hand, from a spiritual perspective I should probably just %ldquoturn the other cheek%rdquo. From a duality perspective there are important signs that if there is to be a fight, now is a better time than ever (there is probably to be a fight anyway, with other people involved). If I miss this opportunity, I might get no second chance.

I have never wanted to hurt anybody. My part of this %ldquoconflict%rdquo has been very passive most of the time. I have just been asking for help and describing my situation (which has of course been interpreted as an attack on those whose behaviour I have been describing).

Hi Vyana,

Maybe it means that you shouldn't create conflict, but rather do what is right.

Doing what is right may result in something that you might call a conflict.

Those are my thoughts.

I don't know! Don't listen to me cuz it might sound like I know what I might be talking about. Please think it through (although I'm sure you probably would have anyways).

Blessings,
Scott

Thank you Scott! That description is very adequate for my level of insight too.

It is not as if I would be doing something that wasn%rsquot right if I made a report. Rather it%rsquos more like my duty to do so. But I doubt it could be called a peaceful solution in the best interest of all involved. Such a solution would although require initiatives from the people I might be reporting, that is the exact opposite of what they have done so far. An attacking them might not be the best way to make them change their opinions.

Today, another person has written a letter providing information that probably will make it very difficult for the external people not to intervene. If that judgement is correct, I will instead have to decide whether I shall ask them not to.
