Re: How to deal with something like this without sacred santemony?

Dear Zule,

You raised a good point. You cannot really deal with or resolve external difficulties in life by using external solutions, unless you do it inside first. When I offer Sacred Santemony, it is not an external approach, it is the person's higher self telling me what it to do during the process. I just assist like a catalyst. Your external relationships are but a reflection of you relating to yourself, or the way you see, trust, doubt, like or dislike yourself. It is that simple. There is no way of protecting yourself from disappointments in life, except keeping your heart open. You can only become hurt or disppointed when your heart isn't open. Only closed hearts can be broken. Open hearts see the fear behind other's anger and the compassion this creates keeps their heart open. Thehy have no expectations because everything that happens to them is seen as being in their highest interest, regardless of whether it is considered something or or something bad by others.

I just received this from someone. It may illustrate this point.
