You know,
Not long ago,
I was thinking of a long-term client.
She just came across my mind and all of a sudden I heard,
It isn't fair.
It's as if she was saying this as a little child.
It's not fair.
And what's interesting is I've been working with her to help her deepen.
Out of the head,
You know,
Deepen into the heart.
Like many of us,
It's been a challenging struggle for her.
But she's doing well.
You know,
It's gradual.
But anyway,
This little nugget of this,
It isn't fair,
Gave her a doorway into seeing her child self within her.
Because,
You know,
Our child self is alive and well.
We're either walking around in the injured child,
Or if we've done a lot of work,
We might be more walking around in our divine child,
Which is where a spiritual master hangs out.
But,
You know,
For most of us,
We're still healing.
So the thing is,
I notice with many people on the journey,
And even people who are just good-hearted people who aren't formally on the journey,
But they are actually making progress despite themselves,
They don't know how to go deeper.
And it's understanding that how our child self felt is still how we feel.
So in the case of this lovely woman,
When I pointed this out,
She started seeing how she had this kind of knee-jerk of,
Why didn't everybody see things her way?
And her sense of,
Not outrage,
But kind of,
You know,
It's not fair when she saw things occur in her community or how people treated each other.
So you get,
I'm sort of,
I'm using a lot of words,
But the heart of it is this child is alive and well within us.
So I remember in my case,
With my child self,
I had this,
It should have been me quality or feeling.
You know,
As I watched other people get various kudos and rewards and felt like I wasn't getting any.
There was a sense of,
It should have been me.
There was a big mistake.
It should have been me.
I was overlooked by accident.
It even,
I even wrote a story about this,
Where I was walking or running along the ocean,
You know,
On the sand by the ocean in Hawaii and a rose washed up.
And the person I was running with saw it and reached for it in the ocean.
And my first thought was,
I think it was,
What a beautiful rose.
And then it should have been me.
So it's taken,
You know,
Decades to work with that.
It should have been me.
And,
You know,
It may take this wonderful woman time to work with.
You know,
It's not fair.
But even just contemplating,
Like steering your mind to ask yourself if there's anything that's important from your childhood that needs to filter up to help your spiritual journey or just for you to become a happier human being,
You know,
Because we're all here to heal,
Whether we realize it or not.
And often healing takes place despite ourselves.
So I just wanted to,
You know,
Your child self deserves huge amounts of patience and compassion.
And when you see him or her operating within you still,
It can be shocking.
But it ends up,
As you turn to allow the healing,
You become an enhanced personality because as soon as you make any step out of your childhood conditioning,
You're enhanced.
You're enhanced by your soul energy.
Yeah.
And,
You know,
If you keep going,
That's where what happens finally and the mastery is achieved,
Just for the person who never gave up,
Basically.
Anyway,
May you understand yourself and may there be more loving clarity in your relationship with yourself.
And may you see and forgive yourself.
See what's operating,
Forgive yourself,
And just move on.
Okay.
Bless you,
Dear hearts.
