Beginnings

January 7, 2024

Beginning impressions usually stay in our minds. For example, I recall meeting my first friend, Freddie, when we were five. After our friendship had been going on for years, we often talked about how we met while riding our bikes in the neighborhood. One of us would say to the other, "Do you remember how we met?" Then, we re-told the story.

After meeting someone, it may be the beginning of a lasting relationship, or we may never see them again. Whatever the case, when we are introduced to another soul, we encounter another energy, another type of essence. Some people's life forces do not seem compatible with ours, while others attract us like a magnet.

When two energies interface for the first time, there is an intermingling of the two energies. The levels of energy in our bodies, minds, and emotions communicate with the energy levels of the person with whom we interface. Whether we know it or not, we bring a lot to the table when we meet another person.

Our outer layers of energy are typically our personality and ego structure. But those are just the tip of the iceberg. The more aware we are of our inner self's superego, shadow, id, essence, virtues, and essential qualities, the more we consciously bring those to the table as well, whether fully expressed or not. Those who consciously embody their soul child express their essence, which is transmitted to others they meet.

Many people express positive thoughts while meeting someone for the first time. This neutralizes harmful or disruptive energy and promotes harmony as the two souls interface. When we are in our entire soulality instead of only our personality, we are more receptive to the souls of others because we are connected to the Divine within.

Inquiry: What beginning of yours was not so good and why?

Dear God,

As I meet people, I ask for love to enfold us both as we figure out who we are to each other. Amen
