Wisdom Teaching: Letting People Have Their Experience

Hello Fellow Soul✨, 

🕊️We tend to be really good at trying to control life.  One of our most favorite ways to do this is through attempting to control ourselves or others in effort to make things amiable and peaceful.

🕊️In part this tendency is born out not wanting to see, or be the elicitor, of suffering and distress in another person.  The other part is that it creates a sense of external safety and security for us when everyone is happy. 

🕊️We will mold ourselves any which way we need to in order to try to take away, or not be the seeming source of suffering from someone, particularly someone we love.  Even though this seems incredibly honorable and kind, it robs people from fully having their experience. 

🕊️This doesn’t in any way mean that you don’t lend a helping hand or words of kindness to someone who needs it, but rather that you don’t try to control their experience of their experience.  When we can fully be with our experience, liberation ensues.  

🕊️We don’t end suffering by trying to manipulate people’s experience of it, but rather by helping to usher them through it.  

🤍Thanks for listening!
