I used to have an aversion to people who seemed weak, timid or afraid.  It would bring up my own fear of being weak.  I didn’t know that’s why I had the aversion, but that’s how this mirroring thing works.  I had aversion to my own thoughts and feelings and when I saw someone in my life acting the way I felt it really bothered me.

I felt insecure and I hated the idea that anyone could see how insecure I was.  I’d do anything to hide it, all the while not realizing that anyone with eyes to see would see it.  Because of how I felt about myself, when I encountered insecure people I was repulsed.  I was actually repulsed by my own feelings, but I couldn’t even look at that.

Do you have an aversion to people who act in a certain way?

I literally would feel this intense need to get away from people who were insecure. It was almost as if it were some kind of thing that I could catch – and that thought terrified me.

Now, I’m aware that the reason it was so bothersome to me is that it was my own insecurities being reflected to me.

My insecurities were intolerable for me.  I had so little self-compassion.

All of that began to change when I decided to focus on being compassionate for others.  As I was able to extend love to others I could begin to have some love for myself.  A little bit of love goes a long way.

A Course in Miracles says it this way, “to have, give all to all.”

To love yourself, love others.  To feel self-compassion, have compassion for others.

Each act of loving kindness that we can extend to others opens our heart and helps us to be more available to the good in life.  I learned that the way to heal an aversion is to have compassion.  It works!

Life is better without aversions.

Next time your mind drifts to attacking someone, or even yourself, see if you can remember this and extend some compassion to welcome more good in your life.  It’s a powerful spiritual practice that we can take with us every moment of every day!

Have you seen the direct results of having a practice of extending Love and compassion?

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! The most recent episode of my podcast’s topic is The Temptation of False idols.  A Course in Miracles teaches us that forgiveness offers everything we want and that all pain can be relieved through forgiveness. When we make something more important to us than our awakening, and we invest in beliefs that idolize things in the world like our body, our relationships, our job, our money, etc, then we’re increasing our sense of guilt which will always and absolutely increase our experience of pain. In this episode, I break it down, exactly how this works so that we can see the wisdom of giving up the attachments to to the false idols and setting ourselves free from pain of all kinds.  Now is the time of our liberation if we choose it! Get out of jail free with forgiveness!
