Several people bursted into a fight outside my apartment yesterday morning. It was intense. “Ass” “bitch” and “nigger” flew from mouths with extreme vitriol. A woman was in pain. I didn’t hear the man as much. She took all the airtime and used that to take out all the compassion that probably once existed between them.
The argument sparked as I sat cross-legged in meditation. At first it distracted me. I sat contemplating dreams I had just moments before I awoke. But then I allowed an important, accurate realization; The fact that these furious people existed in my experience meant that what was happening outside my apartment also was happening inside me.
At that moment I stopped contemplating dreams. I gave my full meditative focus to the fight. Not the one out there, but the one in me, the one that had me a match to that experience outside. After all, that experience is in my awareness because something in me has me being a match to that.
Spiritual alchemy
That’s when I recalled a moment, not my best moment, when I was like those people outside my apartment. My ex-wife and I, ironically, had just came from an Abraham seminar. This was near the end of that marriage and we both were raw; not unlike those arguing outside this morning. And, like those folks, my ex and I got into an intense argument, again, not unlike what I witnessed this morning. All in a public space.
Recalling this, I got how I was a match to this fight unfolding outside my apartment. And so, like I did with my client this past week, I allowed myself to rise to an even higher vibration. One not of compassion for those folks, but of clarity that their experience, as awful as it may be for them right now, was a gift of transmutation, of spiritual alchemy, for me.
So I blessed them.
I knew in doing so, my high vibration, somehow, would influence their fight. Sure enough, right at that moment, their fight ended and calm returned outside. As that happened, a deep peace came over me. The same peace I felt when I reflected well-being to that client this week and her allergy symptoms went away.
A Return to Source
I know I am everything in my experience. Everything in my experience is a reflection of what’s inside me. Because of that, I can bring, what some people like to call, healing to the world. But only my inner world, which then gets reflected in the world outside, which is a reflection of the one inside.
Is it really “healing” though? That implies something is broken and that is never the case. What it really is, is personal expansion, a return to dynamic balance with the pure positive energy of All That Is, aided by the external reflection humans want to call physical reality.
I love knowing this. I love my experience this morning that had me come to such clarity. And I know in some small way, I changed the trajectory of those two who were in so much pain.
