When we are denied freedom to express ourselves truthfully from our heart with Love, when we are invited to shut down this expression, not are we being spoken to by another centred in Love, but rather, by a forgetfulness of their truth.
I recently offered words of Love to another and my Loving words were rejected, not because they were inappropriate or assumed superior knowledge, but because they did not resonate as truth; they were received as flattery instead.
Now, I’ve experienced receiving words delivered without authenticity and I trust my knowing when that happens, but in this example, it was not my authenticity being questioned, just the truth of what I perceived in another, as if the mirror I provided to this person was showing them a light that was not there.
It’s created room for wonder within me — space to question how to be with this misunderstood offering of Love. Do I honour another’s belief that I was attempting to flatter them and withhold future offerings of this so-called flattery? Or do I continue to mirror to them the Brilliance that I see beyond or in spite of their faults? That I have this ability to see Brilliance in another is only because I can see it in myself — I can see it despite all my own very human faults.
Can you see why I know what I gifted was truth? Can you see how impossible it is for another to not have light within? Can you see how perhaps their internal vision is being blocked by a false hood? My Wisdom tells me that if we cannot see Brilliance within ourselves, it’s not because we’re not Brilliant; it’s because we have not yet become aware of the truth of our Being.
We are conditioned to believe that honouring an element of ourselves with wonder is to be egotistical, over-confident, righteous or narcissistic, but Brilliance, when spoken from the heart, when seen through the lens of Love, when honoured with Oneness as our truth, is only ever OUR Brilliance to celebrate.
And so, when I mirrored to this Loved one their Brilliance, not was I singularly placing them upon an unnecessary pedestal; rather, I was seeing God at their core. Perhaps I will refrain from speaking this truth out loud, but not will I refrain from deeply sensing who they are.
With Love
