Sometimes my kitty, Sattva stays out past dark and I prefer that he didn’t.
I find myself threatening him. In my mind I say to him, “well, if you’re not home by the time I go to bed you can just stay out there all night and see what that feels like.”
And then I immediately say, “I don’t want him to stay out all night, I’d like him to come home now. I don’t wish to punish him or teach him a lesson. I really don’t.”
Still, I notice there’s a bit of that energy there. I confess I feel a bit put upon, or disrespected – as though he should know that it’s time to come home when it’s getting dark. We’ve got a huge bobcat in the hood and we saw it in our yard just 2 weeks ago.
The tendency to threaten, to shame, to punish is very strong in the ego thought system. I’m very intent to release it forever – there’s no part of it I like or need.
I’m so grateful that my willingness is all that’s required for me to be able to live without it.
When these thoughts arise in my mind my spiritual practice with it is to think of laying it down, like a weapon, on the ground, and back away from it. I’m offering it to the Higher Holy Spirit Self for healing.
It’s not that we’ll never judge, or blame, or threaten or punish, it’s all about being able to recognize when we do and go the other way as quickly as possible – and remembering to laugh!
I used to hold grudges and complain A LOT.
I’d punish people by withholding Love and giving them the cold shoulder treatment. I just didn’t know any better. I felt so insecure and vulnerable, but not in a good way.
I feel so blessed that I can learn, grow, change and feel truly loving most of the time.
It’s amazing to me. So much healing is possible when we’re willing to forgive ourselves and to rely upon Spirit!
