Following the impulse and rising over projections.
Comment
I like to share something I did today in response to this article. There was a dog lying near to my home, wounded and infected. Yesterday when I saw him, I paid little attention. But that same day I saw a friend of mine who I know is a dog lover. Then it came to me maybe I'm supposed to do something about it. I had compassion but distorted with obligation. I have little experience with dogs and I was afraid to go near it and when I asked the universe no choice came. And I secretly hoped someone else would do the job maybe an authority. Its a classic thing to shoulder our responsibility to someone else. I was distressed by this sense of obligation but I couldn't simply let it go either. At this point I was simply remembering that it's not about saving the dog, or not doing something about. But it's the feelings I'm going through which is important. Thus I had a little gap in my experience to breath and soften the distress. I asked for help, one of my friend laughed at me for trying to save an infected street dog. Another one was not available. But I couldn't let it go. After a while my family arrived and my brother started preaching about all the dangers and consequences that I might have to suffer. At this point, it became something personal and I wanted to rebel against the injustice, the non cooperation. This warrior energy came with some courage and I did it alone and took him to the hospital where he had some primary care. After a while the people for animals came to rescue and I handed him to them. I know he wouldn't probably make it as his condition was worse. Even pfa said I should have left him alone to die. In logical terms what I did would seem like a mistake. But I know there isn't such a thing. It's all an opportunity to experience and feel and integrate. And I can rest peacefully knowing that it wasn't all but maybe it meant something in his sufferring. And I was happy that I was able to rise over the projections and judgements. And I had some interesting synchronicties. One of which is that I missed my OP token but I surprisingly met a family relative who took me directly to the doctor which had not been possible if she wasn't there!
