This dance between the expanse of separation and unity is fascinating.  Each week we are propelled in a direction of integration that assists in the release of what blocks us from appreciating the full spectrum of life.  This is the middle road expanding out to include all, it’s the peace which passes all understanding.  We are coming to a cellular understanding of the natural laws of the universe, All Life is interconnected and all experience serves the continuation and flow of life.  We are the microcosm of the macrocosm, and we contain the same within.  As above, so below.  We are united and separate, diversity animating the Whole into ‘singular’ form.  Here we move from last week’s Letting Go Of Pride, into what would seem it’s opposite of Realizing Greatness.  But in Truth, they are the same, it is perception that we are really shifting.  Instead of perceiving pride as bad, we discern the difference between pride out of balance and pride that puts all on equal ground, though each has unique talents, desires, focus, etc.  It is the same with Realizing Greatness.  As we perceive All Life around us as valuable, adored equally by Source, perfect as it is and ever changing, we realize how great it is, even the challenges. 

Realizing Greatness is an access way to sharing your Light joyfully with your world.  This is the way life was meant to be; interaction, expansion, continued Flow.   From this space of detachment to others’ opinions or approval, you are in complete freedom to express or observe without the hurt feelings that stem from perceived rejection or the temporary boost from approval outside of yourself.  It always feels good to receive approval and it isn’t as pleasant to experience rejection or disapproval from another, but free-flowing interaction in this world may certainly entail that.  We are pioneering balance, not reacting to a pre-balanced world!  Can you hold your balance in the face of opposition and in the face of support?  If you rely on either from an outside source (a place of need rather than experience), you’re not in a balanced place of Realizing Greatness.  That does not mean that it is wrong to feel the emotions of rejection and approval, on the contrary, you must be very honest with yourself about how you’re feeling.  It means that as you find yourself emotionally charged, look within and honestly determine how dependent you are on others for validation.  As we are becoming sovereign from our need for approval, sometimes the pot is stirred a little.  Allow your feelings to flow, but remember that they are an indication for you.  In this way, you come from an empowered place when the need arises to set a boundary rather than a place of fight or flight.
