To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, hated and misunderstood. Stay Strong. Small minds can’t comprehend big spirits.  Spirit Science and Metaphysics

I myself consider it an initiation, an honor and a blessing when it happens.  Some say we undergo a crucifixion in every lifetime.  Our response to it balances karmic debt and determines how long we keep ourselves on the cross.  It’s the same as not coming to the altar to pray, expecting to receive fully, if we’ve not first forgiven everyone and everything.  The initiation is in being mocked, hated and misunderstood.  We run the gauntlet of the initiation by how we respond and react. The honor and blessing of it is being given an opportunity to resolve the past, do things differently and make a clean start.
