Being Disconnected From the Stream

A wonderful quote from Abraham came across my path recently (understand stream as that which impels you forward on an energetic level, i.e. when you are feeling low or depressed, you would be going against the stream, or you would be disconnected from the stream):

If you decide to make someone the enemy and you're pushing very hard against them, you don't affect them at all, but you disconnect yourself from the Stream. If someone cheats you, they cannot diminish your experience. They only diminish their experience. You cannot be diminished by someone cheating you unless you get all upset about being cheated and push against them and use that as your excuse to disconnect from the Stream.

That quote reminded me of something that happened years ago when my sons were little boys. If we passed someone begging on the street, I always gave them each some coins to give to that person. Occasionally if we were accompanied by someone else (an adult), I might be admonished by that person, telling me that what I was doing was silly, because the person begging would in all likelihood, use that money to buy wine or something worse.

My reply was always the same: that's on them. It's their responsibility. But it's on me if I let them go hungry when I could help them.

And that, of course, speaks to my energy. When you fully love yourself, you will not only do what is best for that inner space of peace, harmony, and freedom, but you will also find it easy to choose the kind, the caring, and the loving path with other sentient beings.
