I’ve had it happen many times when I’m working or writing intensely people can come into the room I’m in and start to do things for many minutes before they recognize I’m there. They’re startled by my presence when they realize I’m there.
I can’t say for certain what it’s about, but I do feel there are times when I turn on a cloaking device in order to avoid being interrupted and many times people can’t even see me when I’m right there.
One thing I’ve noticed is that we don’t see what we cannot see. I used to get so annoyed with people because they weren’t observing what, to me, was so obvious.
This may sound strange, but it was frustrating to me that people couldn’t understand things – all kinds of things – that seemed so completely obvious and “in your face” apparent to me. It felt to me just plain willful ignorance.
Now, I’m able to realize that we just cannot see what we’re not a vibrational match for. What’s true for others is true for me too, of course it is. There was and is much that I don’t see.
For instance, some people can see so many ways and opportunities to be helpful, and they can tell whether it’s their call to do something or let it be and hold the high watch. While others are focused on their own needs and wants and aren’t tuned into what’s going on with others.
Some folks can see that others are challenged and can use some encouragement, and some people just see someone struggling and in their way.
Some people can see that someone is being so very kind and helpful to a stranger and others won’t even notice what’s occurring.
This is what Jesus was referring to when he talked about having “the eyes to see and the ears to hear.” Our gifts and answered prayers can be right under our nose, but if we cannot recognize them, how would we know they’re there?
It’s a powerful and helpful skill to be able to recognize what’s going on around us, without getting caught in the difficulties people are having in the sense of judging it. I don’t wish to join people in worry and upset – no matter how much they’d like to include me.
I’ve learned when to offer a hand, and when not to. And that can be tricky because many times I’d like to be helpful, and the most helpful thing is to know that people can figure it out themselves and they need to build their strength in doing so.
Cultivating the ability to discern what’s really going on is VERY worthwhile.
Divine Vision, true insight comes naturally when we’re willing to give up all attachment to judging and labeling. It’s a magnificent trade – opinion for truth! Let’s begin today!
