Part 1

Thank you. One more question. Oh, all right. I get a lot of messages to have an unconditional love for everybody, all my friends. Yes, like I just said. Yeah. Or even friends and family. You kind of... Anyone and everything. Unconditional doesn't mean that you still don't have preferences. It doesn't mean you don't have the ability to observe when something is not compatible with your preferred vibration. Unconditional doesn't mean you fold. It means that you allow others to be what they choose to be knowing that you can also simultaneously choose to be who you prefer to be. So why not be unconditional? Since they can only affect you if you agree to be affected. Yes? Yes? I'm having a hard time knowing when to walk away from certain friends if they're a little abusive or... If you recognize that they are being abusive, what is so difficult about recognizing when to walk away? What holds you there? Do you believe you deserve the abuse? No. Then why do you keep abusing yourself? Isn't that self-abuse if you accept? if you expose yourself to the abuse of another? What do you do if you have a child that doesn't do what... doesn't respect you or abuse you? You can't walk away from your child. A child does require guidance from the parent, but do understand that the child will perceive if you're not respecting yourself, so why should they respect you? You understand? Yes. So if you don't self-respect, no one's going to give you a reflection of respect. You can learn a lot from the child by respecting yourself and then receiving the reflection of respect. Not that they have to choose that, but then from a position of self-respect, you will be inspired to understand how to guide them into a position of self-respect for themselves. Because again, it's everyone's duty to be of a vibration where they don't necessarily have to foist anything negative on someone else, because the only reason people do that is because they don't believe in their own self-empowerment. So when you respect yourself, you will come from a place that will inspire you to teach the child how to respect themselves. Because showing someone else disrespect means you're not respecting yourself. Yes? Yes. So they may be reflecting your lack of respect for yourself because you expose yourself to abuse and you stand there and take it. What's to respect? You understand? Yes. But if you walk away, then you've earned the respect within yourself, yes? Yes. And when you have earned self-respect, you can get more reflections of respect from others. Yes. And you can teach your children how to respect themselves by showing them that there are limits to what you will accept. And by walking away, you show self-respect and thus act as an example for them of how to respect themselves. Yes? Yes. It all fits together. nicely now, doesn't it? Yes.
