What I know for sure is that you can’t convince people against their will.
Their will is inside and it is their experiences of the world, their minds and beliefs that are standing in front of you.
You simply can’t take the wall down from the outside, no matter how you articulate your words trying to explain your actions; they will simply not hear what is said in the manner it is presented.
Their beliefs block it out.
Anymore than their words will convince me against my feelings and experience.
To get someone to experience what I have, to make them feel what I feel is to hijack their bodies, and I can’t.
They are the sole owner of that body, their beliefs, thoughts and fears. They are quite happy doing what they are doing; otherwise they would change.
What I have to change is believing they want to change. What I have to change is trying to change them against their wills.
I must accept what is.
I must accept their will.
I must accept their beliefs.
I must accept who they show me they are.
I must not try and change them.
I must not try and convince them against their will.
I must not try and change their beliefs.
I must meet them right exactly where they are at, in acceptance.
They are perfect. There is nothing there for me to change.
Anymore than there is something in me that I want them to change. I want them to see me exactly as I am.
I don’t want a pinch of something that isn’t me added to me, not one false ideal, thought or belief.
I want me to be seen as me.
All my actions exactly as they are.
All my words as they are intended.
I will see your actions pure.
I will hear your words clear.
I will not make an illusional you.
You get to show me who you are.
I will see.
