i had missed my tram and had conversation with the new girl who just got hired as a promoter.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
she told me she didn’t know much about her astrology sign so i started telling her, and then we were having a conversation where she was telling me exactly how her mind works because it lay along the things i’d described. she’s incredibly brilliant with calculation and analysis. in fact, she could do a lot with her life with this gift. i told her it’s a gift and she has to honor and take care of it. that a lot of people won’t understand it but will want to put out your enthusiasm because they feel threatened. she tells me how people are always trying to tell her she’s stupid and i tell her, i know, that’s the way it’s going to be for a while, until you figure out where you want to focus your gift. but just because they don’t understand it, doesn’t mean you disrespect it. don’t ever forget that you’re luckier than most people, and you can either use your abilities for good or not good. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
she told me that it was like i knew her secrets and if i always talked to people this way. i said, some people. the right people. the people who need it because i get something out of this too, i learn. she said that she thought i’m psychic and i laughed. in a way, i said. i feel like i met god today, she said. i tell her more that she caught a glimpse of him, that the fact that i’m saying things which are secretly things she’s secretly held in means that it’s true, it’s real and she has to honor it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
who are you?, she asks. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
a good person, i say.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
we talk a little bit and then i see my tram so i run across the crowded square and head home.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
if you relax your outlook enough to keep your own projections (and judgments) separate so that you endeavor to see with complete objectivity and positive regard, you’ll see that people tend to always have subconscious or unconscious ways that show what privately hurts them (sometimes even under their own self-awareness). if you can find a safe way to talk about it with them and trust the interaction, you’ll find that something beautiful and real emerges that gives you proof of god.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
