Higher Learning, Lower Learning, Different Learning
Some people are just unmatched when it comes to the kind of feeling they share with us, which is essentially something we produce within ourselves according to how we experience and engage with them. The lessons they provide are tailor made for us, delivered in such a precise manner that we know exactly who they are by how they make us feel. We know it because no other makes us feel quite as they do. They are in a sense a wonder to us and can blend into any character…family, friends, colleagues, strangers, online, you name it. Or maybe not family or friends at all. They can be enemies if you wish. Or meh. The only difference is the emotional construct between you and them, which usually governs the frequency of the interaction. All of the above influences our perception of the relationship as it evolves.
So who are these recurring characters in your life? Do you consider how they make you feel…every time? Maybe you hand picked them, all presenting a very unique set of skills that would teach you something about yourself. Perhaps there is a mechanism to guide your interaction with the same type of consciousness in a range of personalities so you obtain experiences through a different lens each time within your reality. How you filter your experiences will then depend on the mirror you expect relating to each situation. Your approach with a child may differ vastly to that of an adult expressing the same mindset. Some adults maintain a child consciousness that makes them very interesting people. And the distinctions between each person are so subtle, yet significant enough to receive them in a way that emphasizes their uniqueness.
Imagine how our interpretations change as we age through each decade, as we assess and notice trends, yet we always perceive new configurations for the same consciousness as we move from one state to the next. Same universal trends, but a different perspective of them.
How many of these people manage to come in and out of our lives in different forms? The patterns continue replicating as long as necessary to produce a state of being, usually seeking comfort. Sometimes that means being uncomfortable to be comfortable again, just as we contract so we can expand. Like a climbing up a steep hill to be rewarded with ease on the way down. They are reciprocal, synergistic and both are needed to shift a state of consciousness.
The contracted state can feel wildly exhilarating at times, exciting and sometimes uncontrollable. It can also feel helpless, futile and just when you feel the contracted state cannot get stronger, it can and does. It forces an expansion which rebounds, a release of the contraction so that something can take its place. An after-thought of the contraction then becomes a source of relief. So you want it again and again because that state of expansion makes it all worth it. It’s like a high you revisit and despite any feelings of not wanting it, you go back to it. The contracted consciousness becomes a sort of darling in its own way because of what succeeds it. And whether it’s subconscious or superconscious, you plan it. Each time you plan it at some level, and subsequent interactions are always orchestrated by you.
So you may have agreed to an entire social display within human dynamics spanning a moment or decades intricately designed to produce a desired effect of which you were never conscious of, because it was all happening behind the scenes while you were busy living your life through your thoughts and feelings all which produce every facet of your perception along the way. It produces an energy, a consciousness, which reinforces patterns or creates new ones.
Whatever it is about these people and how it all works we can only speculate, but something having to do with you (and them) put you on this path and you experience it together, repeatedly. Teachers come in various forms, guiding you to venture (sometimes out of your comfort zone) to a playground where you can accept their invitation as they present it. So you choose to play with them or not. And if you do play, whatever gesture that may be, you have called upon it to experience at one point or another. All those points along the way will invariably be assessed for their value, lack of, or something in between depending on what you feel at each moment.
You asked for attention and you got it. Although it’s a mind blowing proposition to expect yourself to love them all the same, how in the world can we not love them in some way? We designed them. All they have shown us? All they have made us feel? Who is doing that exactly? Is it them, you or both? There’s a version of you that could never be what it is today without them adding that special something they hand crafted for you. Talk about specific. They are specialists in making you feel a certain way and they are very skilled at it. Nobody can do it like they do.
And whether they please you, trigger you, anger you, fascinate you, bore you, rile you, excite you, love you or make you want to hate every bone in their body, one thing is for sure…you invite them for a reason. The inception of what you see and feel in them may have been sourced a moment or eternity ago. If you’re creating your reality, then you certainly created that feeling you wanted to feel that only they could provide you with. Perfect time, perfect place and you happen to be there connected and aligned with them. What a coincidence!
Even an extremely polarized perspective aligns beautifully in some way. And you know it’s ultra unique because you’ve never seen, heard or felt anything like the way they’ve made you feel. Sometimes that’s a feeling of love, peace, excitement, unity, compassion, and other times more separation, distance and pain. The direction of comfort or discomfort is relative to your state of being, what you are and how you feel about yourself. All observations and perceptions then reiterate this consciousness.
This state of learning evolves through patterns as all does in our experience. We choose to engage with others through what appears to be cycles of play within higher and lower levels of learning, but it is simply different interpretations of each state, and neither is better or worse.
As the creator, you design all the players in your game. The resonance of each player in your reality needs your attention for an invited role which influences how their cellular structure vibrates and this directly influences yours as you broadcast your own signal as your DNA transceives. So whether they are there to hug you or kill you is irrelevant in terms of attention. Even if it is just for one moment, your attention is needed, albeit for distinct reasons. They can’t do what they want to do without you, and you can’t do what you want to without them. That’s why you are engaging. You can pick a different player sure, but nobody is quite like them. Pick your playground accordingly and select your form of play. How you give them your attention is entirely up to you, and since every interaction is a game by your design, feel free to see the beauty or the horror…your choice, your design.
They will find you and you will find them. And every interpretation will always be perfect.
