"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." -RumiOkay, since deciding a couple of days ago to post this quote today for Valentine's Day I have taken on the task (somewhat consciously and somewhat unconsciously) and I have FOUND THE BARRIERS....or rather it seems as if they have found me!
Funny how when I consciously give my unconscious an invitation to grow it RUNS WITH IT! A friend of mine today re-minded me that my unconscious thinks its job is to protect me. Hmm, I think my unconscious might be working overtime.
I noticed when I consciously decided to let go of a barrier to love in my life today, my unconscious immediately went into a full blown tantrum (to protect me - LOL)! Gratefully I could re-cognize it as a tantrum right away.
I watched it with amusement like, "Gee, isn't that cute how my subconscious thinks it is protecting me by throwing a tantrum and setting up a "barrier" between me and my love." Actually, no not so cute. I kindly thanked my "unconscious" for doing "its job." It was more of a thanks, but no thanks - "I appreciate your help, but I got this one." The tantrum continued, I noticed it, detatched, and was able to gracefully move past it. WOW! I love it when that happens!
Today's journalling question:
What are the barriers you have built against love? Do you notice your subconscious throwing any tantrums in your life? (Hint: The subconscious "throwing a tantrum" is more commonly identified as a problem or issue in your life) What is your subconscious "protecting" you from?
