Compassionate Communication
I usually do not write about something like this. However, I am feeling that I should address this because it may help us all in some way. Therefore, I am moving forward and share with you what is on my heart.
The other day I received an e-mail sharing a video entitled These Are Sacred Days. When I went on the internet to watch the video it wasn’t there. I thought a mistake was made in the Youtube address so I tried to access the video by name; only to find out that it had been removed around the same time the e-mail went out inviting everyone to watch it. A few days later I received another e-mail saying there had been some issues with the music and the video was up and running again. I thought that maybe the music wasn’t playing because of technical issues. However, it turns out that the Wonderful Spirit that created the video made the mistake of using copyrighted music that she had not gotten permission to use. This is the web address of the new video These Are Sacred Days www.youtube.com/PatriciaCotaRobles.
The same day I was informed that the video was back up I received another e-mail explaining that the music in the original video was written by Tom Kenyon, and Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion had sent e-mails that reflected Tom and Judy’s disposition concerning the use of his music. I completely understand that what was done was wrong. Nevertheless, as an old saying points out so well, two wrongs do not make a right. Tom and Judy had no understanding that the Wonderful Spirit that had wrongfully used the music did so because she was honoring Tom’s music by using it in her video. She did not do solicit or get any money for making the video; she did it simply to spread Love and Light to everyone who views the video. She also did it to publicly honor the Spiritual work of the international Spiritual teacher Patricia Cota Robles. There in could be the major problem with the use of the music and the harsh rebuke issued. Nevertheless, to verbally assault the woman who made the video in the way that both Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion did, was uncalled for and without a shadow of doubt not Spiritual. Both Tom and Judy owe this Wonderful Spirit an apology. That is the proper thing to do after verbally slashing my Spiritual Sister.
I started to post the e-mails from Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion in this post; however, I decided that enough of that negative energy has already circulated around the internet in those e-mails. I hope and pray that we all stop being so self-centered, and start seeing beyond our selfish needs and desires, also beyond the surface of the words and actions of others. Most of the time, people mean no harm; they actually are trying to do what they believe to be the right thing to do. We must stop judging and condemning others and reach deep within, to the very core of our Spirit and pull out a humongous offering of Compassion, Tolerance, Sympathy, and Unconditional Love for others. We must remember that it is said and so true; Love Conquers All. Moreover, I would like to add one word to that very true and important age-old statement, which will cause it to energetically radiate with even more energy than it does, Unconditional Love Conquers All!
Someone may ask, who do you think you are saying this about Tom Kenyon? I am a Spiritual being traveling through this dense physical plane just like Tom. A Spiritual being that is neither above nor below him. I am his equal; just like every other human/Spiritual being on the face of Earth Mother is his equal. I have admired some of his work over the years and see him as my brother. However, sisters and brothers sometimes we misspeak and need to be spoken to in an effort to point out the error. That is of course if the objective is to spiritually maintain order, Light, and Love in everything that is done in life. Because of that, I sent Tom and Judy a personal e-mail after reading their e-mails to the Wonderful Spirit who created the video. We cannot put on and take off our Spirituality whenever we please, we are either Spiritual or not. Being Spiritual means that we are motivated and driven by Unconditional Love, and Unconditional Love comes to us through our conscious connection and communion with none other than DIVINE SPIRIT when we enter into the Sacred Dimension of Meditation. Compassion and Forgiveness are joined together with Unconditional Love as eternal companions. Within the situation at hand, we can find one or more lessons for all who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and an awakened conscious intellect to learn.
Compassionate Communication is what is missing in so many of our lives today. It is imperative that we find a way to reincorporate compassion into our every day communication with others. Compassionate Communication is simply communicating with others in and through the Sacred Energy and Omnipotent Vibration of Unconditional Love. Have we not learned from our past experiences and history dating back to the beginning of time that communicating any other way simply does not work?
Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion as well as you, me and everyone else must find a ways individually to forever do away with the ego that roars so loud, yet has no teeth. The ego is just a big bag of hot air. The only power the ego has is the power we give it. We give the ego power when we take ownership of people and things, also when we give the ego permission to rule our lives. All we have to do is say no more, turn our backs on the ego, and open our hearts wide to the Sacred Energy of Unconditional Love.
I am Unconditionally Loving Tom and Judy by speaking from my heart Universal Truth. I am doing this in hopes that they will understand that in error they allowed their ego to speak to the situation and not their Higher Selves and the Omnipotent Vibration of Unconditional Love. We all make mistakes every now and then. However, the major question is this. Are we learning from our mistakes, never to repeat them? Give in to the ego and end up in the darkness of despair. On the other hand, yield to the Divine Will of Unconditional Love and we are transported into the Sacred Light and Presence of DIVINE SPIRIT.
One Love, Unconditional!
