Honoring All Qualities
From New Age Village
Channeled by Shepherd Hoodwin
To be in full relationship to yourself, each aspect of yourself needs to be honored. Sometimes people feel disturbed to discover that not all aspects of themselves conform to the image they have carried. These "shadows" are not necessarily negative. For example, a person who sees herself as tough may not like hearing from her vulnerable side, just as someone who sees himself as vulnerable may not like hearing from his tough side. The key here is balance: finding the place where "tough" and "vulnerable" share honor. This requires an openness to discover the contributions that both sides of the proverbial coin have to make. Old judgments against certain qualities may need to go, in the understanding that every quality has potential beauty when it is in its right place.
There are even right places for old bugaboos such as fear and hate. For instance, they may be appropriate energies in the presence of a malicious threat. However, for them to find their right place, your consciousness needs to be aligned to the present moment, to what is infinite. When the immediate and the infinite are in the same place in you, you can have mastery over transitory energies such as fear and hate; they are simply information that guides you to effective action. Fear may enhance your alertness to danger; hate may mobilize you to expel intrusive energies. When the need for them is gone, you can simply release them and return to equilibrium.
Every feeling and energy has a reason for existing. In their present forms, some of them may no longer be harmonious with where you are. By honoring all of them, you can allow them to fall out of their old frames and find a new shape that fits with your current awareness.
