Whatever They Did - Bless Them

Whenever another individual acts in a hurtful and harmful way, rather than seeking to retaliate and strike back, we are wise to bless them and wish them well. Whatever they did or did not do, while we may have been victimized by it, it had nothing to do with us, but they were under the aegis of ignorance, under the influence of not understanding that there were higher choices available to them.

I invite you to join me as we explore why we are wise to bless those who hurt us.

Namaste

Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom.

This path about us waking up to who and what we are,

About us allowing for ever greater and greater expressions of that who and what to emerge,

About us allowing for the peace and the love and the joy and the harmony and the wholeness,

The abundance that is all around us and that is inherent within us in each and every single moment,

For all of that to emerge and to take us over.

My name is Daniel Roqueo and as always,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you for tuning in,

For participating in the expansion of who and what you are and in becoming an increasingly beneficial presence here on this planet at a time where it's much needed to release and let go of the old world and call forth midwife a new world,

A world where everyone's needs are met,

Where everyone gets to be safe and secure and be in joy and be in happiness and love.

So today's theme is whatever they did,

Bless them.

Whatever they did,

Bless them.

And this of course has to do with coming back to the awareness that whenever anyone,

Including ourselves,

Acts in a hurtful or harmful or destructive way,

It is not ever a personal fault,

It is not ever a personal flaw,

It is not even personal period.

It had nothing to do with us,

We may have been victimized by it,

We may have been affected by it,

We may have been traumatized by it,

But still it had nothing to do with us.

We simply got in the way of ignorance.

Because anyone that has ever done something hurtful or harmful,

They were under the aegis,

Under the influence of ignorance,

Not understanding,

Lack of understanding,

That they had another choice,

That there was another choice,

That they had the ability to not act in that way.

Because in every single moment,

Each and every single one of us is doing the very best that we know how to do.

And please,

Please,

Please,

Do not hear that we are to deny our experiences.

If we have been affected by someone,

Like what is happening in the world right now in Ukraine and many other places on the planet,

Where there is war,

Where there is oppression,

Where people are being unsafe,

Where people are being unsecure,

Where people are dying,

We're not denying these experiences.

So whatever emotions we experience,

When we think about a particular incident or a particular individual,

We're not to deny them,

We're not to push them away,

We're not to repress them,

We're not to run away from them,

But we're to embrace,

We're wise to embrace and allow them.

So this has nothing to do with denying what we experience and what we feel at all.

But a way to rise above that and a way to release and let that go is through compassion.

And compassion is beautiful,

It's a high vibration of love.

Compassion simply states,

Or compassion simply is,

The understanding of lack of understanding.

And so if someone does something,

Let's say that we're out driving and we accidentally cut someone off and they give us the finger or they may be shouting or they may be yelling or they may be cussing us out or whatever the case may be.

They did so because in that moment they had not the realization that they had another choice.

In that moment they were so pulled,

They were so drawn,

They were so captured by the ego and its opinions and judgments and point of views and perceptions as to what should and should not be,

That they were oblivious that they had the choice to simply embrace and allow that which has just happened to be as it is.

So it was not out of malice that they did what they did,

But it was out of ignorance.

And this goes for all acts of violence,

All acts of discrimination,

All acts of racism,

All acts of oppression,

All acts of anything that hurts or harms anyone.

And so a way for us to approach and a way for us to be a beneficial presence in that moment is not to retaliate,

Not to strike back,

Not to give the finger back or cuss back,

But to simply bless them,

Wish them well.

Whatever they did,

Whatever they did not do,

Wish them well.

Wish them well.

And this of course,

It takes a lot of inner work for us to wish someone well,

Especially if they have acted in a way that affected us,

That hurt us or harmed us or that traumatized us when we've been victimized.

But we're still wise to seek to find that place within,

To seek to call forth that vibration of compassion,

That vibration of love,

That vibration of forgiveness,

As we've been talking about before,

And wish them well.

Nothing is ever gained by retaliation,

Nothing is ever gained by violence,

Nothing is ever gained by seeking to strike back,

Seeking vengeance,

Nothing is ever gained by holding on to negativity or resentment.

I know it's normal for individuals,

For us humans to hold on to stories as to what should and should not be,

And many of us hold on to such stories for all of our lives.

Stories about what happened perhaps when we were small children.

And we carry these stories all of our lives,

Not challenging them,

Not seeking to release and let them go.

There's an old Native American saying that goes,

And I may be paraphrasing it here,

But it goes,

Seeking revenge is like swallowing poison,

Hoping that the other will die.

And that is exactly what negativity,

What this resentment,

What this animosity,

What this hatred,

What it does to us,

It does very little to the other individual,

But it does a whole lot to us.

This negativity creates the condition,

It doesn't create disease,

But it creates the condition for disease,

For illness,

For unhappiness,

To flourish.

Because we stand absolutely nothing to gain.

The ego seeks to convince us that we do stand something to gain by holding on to resentment and negativity and all of that.

But in truth we don't.

We're only robbing ourselves of the joy,

Of the wholeness,

Of the love,

Of the abundance.

If we think,

If we believe that someone owes us something or that someone else is to blame for our unhappiness or for our inability to do whatever it is we want to do,

To follow our dreams or to participate in the manifestation of the good that we desire or whatever else.

If we believe that someone else is to blame,

What we're really saying is that I am not enough.

I am not enough.

I need them to do something for me and unless they do it,

I can't do what I want to do.

So that's coming from lack and scarcity.

We cannot manifest,

We cannot move into vibrational alignment with abundance,

Let's say,

If we're holding on to the feeling that someone else is to blame.

If we're holding on to the story that someone else is to blame.

It's an impossibility.

We can manipulate the sacred laws.

We can perhaps,

In the eyes of the world,

Become famous or celebrities or wealthy.

But that will only be an appearance.

Underneath there's lots of people that are famous.

There are lots of people that have busloads of money.

But they are not in a state of balance.

They are not in a state of harmony.

They are not in a state of wholeness.

They have used their mental powers to call forth something into their experience.

But they are not in vibrational alignment with peace and love and joy and harmony and wholeness and abundance.

So that's my invitation to us all.

To seek to release and let go of the negativity.

Whatever they did and whatever they did not do,

They did it because they were under the aegis,

Under the influence of ignorance,

Of the ego,

Of the beliefs that they are not enough and that there is not enough.

That's the only reason anyone would ever seek to hurt or harm another individual.

Because they believe that they are not enough.

Deep down at a subconscious level,

They believe that they are not enough or that there is not enough.

And so we want to wish them well.

We want to wish for them to wake up.

We want to wish for them to come back to the knowing and feeling that they are enough.

That there is enough.

Alright,

So until the next time,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you so,

So much for tuning in,

For participating.

I bless,

Bless,

Bless your day and I bless,

Bless,

Bless your way.

Very beautiful,

Magnificent,

Radiant,

Wonderful and powerful being.

Namaste.

This was a beautiful talk, helped me to soften my heart a bit and release the pain of an experience of being criticized harshly and publicly by someone. I can see that it’s not really about me, just a projection of the judgment and shame she feels toward herself. The only response she was capable of in that moment was to point out my mistakes and create a story about me being a bad person. Thank you!

I am practicing this currently… thank you. Will listen again and again

Thank you so much for proving clarity in this talk. It’s exactly what I needed to listen to . I’m grateful that this all allows me to cultivate true compassion for someone and others.
