We choose to see these things outside of ourself because it makes us not guilty. The manifestation of a person showing us where we feel vulnerable very much seems like it’s obviously not us doing anything. It’s very easy to place blame and feel like the innocent one and most of the world would agree with you. However, if your purpose is for awakening use this to see that you choose seeing yourself as victim. Use this to notice the resistance to letting that go because of the desire to hold onto self righteousness and the desire to protect some idea of yourself. Is this idea really keeping you or anybody else safe or is it actually causing the experience it promises to protect you from? What if you are not right in your belief? Would you for even a moment be willing to see it differently and be released from a world of fear? Would you trust that God is actually sustaining you and you are perfectly protected and perfectly whole and nobody can take anything from you? Would you be willing to see and know that for just a moment? Just let go of your idea that you are right for one instant and be willing to accept that it’s possible that you do not understand. Ask to be shown, not what you think should replace that but what you do not know. See if you are not convinced by something entirely new and yet completely familiar that dawns on your mind like a rising sun bringing light to a landscape once dark and obscured by shadows. I will never convince you of anything, the world will only convince you of what you already “know”, but God will convince you of the Truth because He can not be experienced and doubted. And you will be convinced because you will recognize the Truth as you will recognize yourself. And the Truth WILL set you free! :)
