One of the laws of this Universe is the Law of Mirroring, everything around us, circumstances, people and events, are only mirroring our internal world, it is the most accurate feedback, it is our thoughts, our mind that creates reality, but there are two parts of our mind, and although they work together they are completely different: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, the first one is the creative mind but who only controls around 5% of our lives and the subconscious mind is like a giant tape recorder, recording all of our life's memories, experiences, storing all events as mental movies and images, and then it plays them back, and controls around 95% of our lives.
Swizz psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Carl Jung said "Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
One of the lessons I kept receiving from this Expansion Process that life is, was to keep on establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries, which I pretty much struggled with when I was young, and I've had some not-so-great experiences while growing up, which were a byproduct of me not having healthy boundaries. And because the Universe loves us so much therefore wants us to Integrate, it will continue putting us in front of the circumstances and people who will mirror those unhealed parts of us, so that we can finally heal them with the light of our awareness.
A few years ago I was being triggered by someone who didn't respect my boundaries. I complained how she made me feel to the point of that it would, at times, make me feel physically sick. This flooding of emotions left me feeling angry, hurt and resentful towards her at one point.
What was this trying to teach me? I wasn't fully honoring my own personal boundaries, and she was basically holding a mirror to that unhealed part of myself that I needed to address, again, this time on a even more aware level so to speak, that residual disempowered aspect of me that was so desperate to be integrated. I was not going to allow her behavior to affect me so deeply so I had to take a stand for myself and create my healthy boundaries around that particular situation. I stood up for what I believed is right for me, from a point of self respect and honoring my personal integrity and that had nothing to do with her or her situation,which I had compassion for. Our higher selves always know the truth. After a while I wrote a letter that was meant to be only written but not sent, explaining from an authentic point of view how that situation made me feel and ending with saying “thank you” to her, because with that particular situation and her triggering me I had been given the chance to integrate that aspect of me even more and to grow even more as an authentic being.
It may seem like a contradiction the idea of healthy boundaries and the idea of Oneness, that we are living in a universe where all is One but it is not. If I am embracing what I truly am, feel and want I am in fact embracing the Unique Expression of the Universe that I truly am, therefore I am more in alignment with The Universe that is One than if I am losing my boundaries because I’m denying the true expression of myself as an extension of the Universe. It is a state of self awareness, integrity, self love. It is of vital importance to honor how we feel. We have to allow ourselves to go in the direction of our individual happiness, and whatever serves our individual happiness serves the Universe at large, meaning my own happiness is everyone’s happiness as well because we are all One.
We are here to continue to transform our unresolved wounds. May the path of self respect, self trust and self love light the way to our personal truth and personal expansion which as a part of the Collective it is the Expansion of the Collective itself.
