I realized this morning just how much stress I’ve created in my life by trying to fulfill requests or meet people’s expectations when those requests and expectations themselves were unreasonable.
One place where this seems to me to be common is the expectation of people who do not believe in spiritual concepts, energy bodies, or metaphysics that those who do believe should be able to 100% explain, defend, justify their beliefs. Often to levels and standards that they would not even be able to explain their own.
I often feel like I’m preparing for a cross-examination if I’m going to express a belief or understanding that is not in line with the mainstream belief system in my society. Which often leads to me simply remaining silent.
But I do not need to know everything about something in order to believe it. I can feel/know something is true without yet knowing all the intricacies of how it works. Just like I have confidence in my ability to safely drive a car without knowing the details of what is going on under the hood or being able to assemble an engine.
It’s an exploration is progress, not a baked caked, finished and ready to be eaten.
My understanding is deepening. Realizations are occurring. The Universe is unfolding.
