The Halo Project

Trees, flowers, animals etc. just get on with the business of growing and if humans could look to them and accept the examples reflected from them they would gain incredible insights to living purposeful productive lives! These life forms don't look to past experiences and carry them around endlessly as debilitating baggage and they don’t find fault with other trees flowers or animals, and they most definitely do not care in which country they live and grow! The greatest lessons that I consider these life form offer humans are that they focus their entire energy on their growth alone, and that no matter what befalls them they determinedly keep moving on and growing toward the light with the aim of reaching their full life potential. Each flower, tree and animal etc is slightly different but they each serve life in some way. If we humans individually focused on our lives in this manner rather than on how others live, or how we can serve life rather than how life can serve us, then surely we would discover and live our life purpose.

In my role as a manager most complaints that were brought to me were about the faults of co-workers. People regularly see so very clearly what they believe is wrong with others while remaining oblivious to their own short-comings, and rarely do they focus on any good they see in others!

Why I often wonder do people so easily avoid seeing the good in others? Is this because they are seeing less and less good in themselves? And is looking to what they consider to be faults in others a means of deflecting attention away from what they dare not face in themselves? And why rather than condemning others can’t people speak openly and honestly with them directly from the heart in the hope of healing any disturbing situation? Surely this tactic can’t help but improve both parties!

Surely this is high level mirror work as both reflections simultaneously advance toward purposeful perfection. In this behaviour we learn the truth that any service we show another is in fact the service we show to the self. I have to ponder these possibilities as when people are challenged and miserable they rarely want to take responsibility for creating their present life situations. They instead prefer to blame others!

We have all been guilty of casting blame at some stage throughout our lives. Why these days has it become increasingly difficult for humans to accept their role and responsibility in any situations that result in undesirable outcomes? And why are people increasingly afraid to look into life’s mirrors and acknowledge all they see?

I consider life to be an amazing learning experience. So sometimes to learn a lesson a situation must occur where someone plays the role of the victim and the other is the attacker. Opposing roles are necessary and the party playing each role is in need of a differing lesson. The trick to a peaceful life is to thank the experience for its lesson rather than how it hurt or hindered your life in some way. When life doesn't go as you think it should consider that maybe that is just how it should go for you to avail yourself to a valuable life lesson. Learning is about knowledge and developing a greater understanding of all that is.Why then, when we are in challenging or painful situations can't we accept in gratitude that there is an underlying lesson and walk forward in this knowledge?

Sadly the majority of comments I hear about people and life are negative. Rarely do positive comments dominate conversations but when they do my spirit is lifted as are the spirits of all those included in the conversation. Positive loving energy is that way to transform your spirit from sad to glad.

My tongue too at times fails me as I allow negativity to overtake my spirit, but as I have become more aware of what my mirror is reflecting out to the world I try to catch myself as soon as possible in an attempt to transform my negative to positive. I am training myself to immediately think of a pleasant memory in order to shift this predominantly self-destructive energy I am both experiencing and transmitting. Perhaps too I am only imagining that I am encountering more people than usual finding fault with others to teach me the lesson of how damaging and debilitating fault finding is to the self. Maybe all people including myself have always been this way? And maybe as my awareness grows I am discovering how criticism of others really is a criticism of the self?

Self criticism and lack of self-esteem block us from ever reaching our full potential. Our criticism does not hold back the growth of another, but rather locks us into to bitterness, blame and anger all of which are very low vibrating energy fields. In low energy we become stuck and miserable. We need to predominantly maintain high, light energy to enable us to soar in joy to our full potential in life.

Yes I am still guilty at times of succumbing to low energies but as I am now much more aware of their damaging effects on not only my world but the world around me I consciously lift my energy level from low to high with any source that brings me joy. As I am training myself to refuse to contribute to negative energy thoughts allowing them to overshadow my being I am finally learning to either say something positive about the person or situation in question, or change the subject. After all energy only flows where attention goes!

I am coming to the understanding that if I hold myself in high esteem and focus on how I may best serve life with the aim to seek out the good qualities of others then I too will recognise more of my own good qualities, for........'I am what you are, and you are what I am! I think this is a perfect example of the Mirror Effect!
