Moving aside 8/21/2018

I finished reading the book “Growing up in heaven” written by James Van Praagh.

In the book he mentions about the importance of meditation. He suggests us not to stumble with any judgements.

He explains like this.

The more you judge something, the more you stay stuck in it. It’s like floating down a river; if you get caught on the rocks, move aside and keep going. (Quoted from “Growing up in heaven” p.136)

I love this part. He beautifully explains the reason why we need to avoid getting caught by something.

It can be applied not only to meditation but also to human relationship.

In daily life, we run into somebody whom we feel like we are speaking different languages. How hard we try to communicate with the person, the person never understands the core message we are communicating. The person raises his/her voice, saying a bunch of excuses and denials.

In such a situation, the best action we can do is move aside and keep going on our way. We might be tempted to talk back to the person. From my recent experience though, it is not a smart option.

The smart option is not to talk back and let it go. It is a better option not to spend your precious time and energy onto the person who does not reside in the same dimension with you.

I recall my mom once told the tip for building a good human relationship. She said it is pretending stupid. We run into the situation where somebody says something that we don’t agree, or does something that we don’t like. As long as it does not risk your safety, just pretend being stupid and move aside, instead of facing to the person directly. Pretending being stupid actually saves your inner peace and your precious energy intact.

Any feedback? (^^♪
