Personal Evolution

 From Marianne Williamson

I'm not an enlightened master but this is where I am in my life.
I'm not evolved beyond having crazy thoughts...but I think I 'm beyond being in a place where I am telling myself they are not crazy.
If I am having an insane moment I think I'm evolved enough to know I am insane in that moment.
Which means most of the time I'm evolved enough to not act on any insanity I have.
You can feel angry but that doesn't mean you have to send that email; doesn't mean you have to answer that text right now. Doesn't mean you have to say something.
You can know I am feeling like telling that person "WHOAAA!" But I can know this is not the real me feeling this. The fact that I am feeling it doesn't mean that it's the authentic me. If you are angry and you say, well, that is how I authentically felt - how you authentically feel in any given moment is not necessarily who you authentically are.
Who you authentically are is love - but that person said something or did something that so triggered you based on childhood wounds that you are not able in this moment to answer with love and feel psychically like you are getting your needs met.
