I saw this picture of Charlie Kirk the other day. It was made my a digital artist. I thought it was rather pixelated, till I understood what it meant. This talent had screen shot the images of people who were hating Charlie Kirk and celebrating his death and put them together into a portrait of his likeness. An incredible feat to say the least, but there was something that was deeper that struck me.
We roam around the world unable to please everyone. We get into disagreements, tense conversations, fractured relationships, arguments with those who we do not see eye to ye with on any matter of topics from the color of our toast to the expression of our ideals and everything in between. Where does all that anger, hate, frustration, and irritability go? We absorb it. Into our cells, tissues, skeletal structure, our brains, and our hearts.
The reality is that we spew that same negative energy out into the world in the workplace, home and into the world. We are brainwashed by most media to become negative and hateful, and this feeds others of that ilk. Each of us carry the hate of all those around us, all the time. This creates illness, mental, physical and spiritual. Unless we choose to put down that anger and hate, the summations of our judgments, we become all that hate and generate suffering in life. Otherwise we reflect it outward in each thought, word or action, and perpetuate the ripples of lower frequency vibrations.
Yet if we go deeper we find that it takes a different sort of person to be able to hold all that energy and not absorb it. To be able to not let the negativity consume us, it takes a lot of inner shadow work. Owning everything that everyone says about us, and not letting it affect us takes a powerful strength and courage. A faith and a firm self belief that we are and yet at the same time NOT the sum of all that we believe or do NOT believe about ourselves. This requires stamina and endurance.
Moreover, in a room full of people we can choose to be the opinions of all the individuals plus one. It is our own opinion of ourselves that only matters. I usually look at things opposite to most people to find the other side of an equation. So what if all those pixels were of people who loved Charlie Kirk? Screenshots of people expressing their appreciations for him.
We each also hold all the love of everyone around us. But we choose to have sieves in our hearts and do not hold on to that love ( not to be mistaken with praise). It is a choice to either hold hate or love. It is also a choice of what we reflect and what we deflect. We can reflect inner love and deflect outer hate.
Life flows with the power of choice, and the magic of life is irrigated with love. And life itself is the divinity in motion. Be the whole version of life and love, and not just the hate that the darkness harkens.

I love you
