The person next to you is part of your spiritual family, like it or not — or they wouldn’t be there.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m always coming across friends who are scoping out locations to open a new healing center, a place for like minded folks to gather and come to circle.\u00a0 I’ve seen it often: a new group begins and soon enough personality conflicts split it apart and each party goes off to start their own group.\u00a0 Twenty years later, there are a dozen groups, each with just a handful of attendees.\u00a0 Everyone wants to start their own group rather than attend where someone rubs them the wrong way.\u00a0 What they fail to see is that each person in the group — especially if they rub you the wrong way<\/em> — are there reflecting back to you facets of your personality that you are unaware of.\u00a0 When you are triggered by something or someone, that shows you where you have emotional work to do<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

So, personality conflicts on the spiritual path? That\u2019s how we work this stuff out, with each other.\u00a0 And we don\u2019t get to work it out with only the ones it\u2019s fun to work on issues with.\u00a0 That comes later.\u00a0 First we have to work on it with the people we really don\u2019t care for, have no respect for and think are beneath us, who we think don\u2019t walk their talk or possess the skills they profess.\u00a0 The reason these people are in our experience and irritating us is because right now we are all vibrating in the same place \u2014 like it or not.\u00a0 So the quicker we can get over it and get on with it, the quicker we move onto the ones it will be fun to work on issues with.\u00a0 I promise.<\/p>\n
