Support from the outside is essential

As I wrote in the last week, this is an incredibly promising time for those working on themselves and their larger mission to be ready when the next opportunity to materialize opens up in the near future. But as true as that is, we are human beings and can sometimes become frail and insecure in ourselves when we attempt something big.

Regardless of the radiant and positive quality of what you are about to make happen, there will always be a need to get your bearings and to bring yourself back to a positive mindset as challenges amount on the outside. Because developments in the human realm and the informational matrix around us have their effect on everyone it is wise to make use of our social connections to the fullest, especially in times like this. The world in its upheaval may pull you down or build hurdles along your path you could easily cross and leave behind you if only you could see the forest for all the trees, and because this it is needed you get into contact with people who cherish you and have the luxury of a more objective look on you - because they are looking from the outside while being familiar with your being and character.

This could literally mean just to talk with someone you love or cherish to get that inner monologue of yours out, to verbalize it. Often when we verbalize our ideas and worries to someone whom we trust we get the privilege of being able to listen to ourselves in a different way, we listen to ourselves through their ears and we can gauge the flaws in our own caught-up-ness inside better as we are more able to sense how far off the mark we are or what aspects we are overdramatizing in analyzing our own situation inside our heads.

This sounds more complicated than it actually is.

It simply means: Share your inner turmoil with someone you care about, have them give you their take on it and after the conversation see how you feel. An essential part of healing is to share our pain with people who care about us and not seldom I find the answers have been with me and in me all along, I just couldn't see them in all the involvement and focus on the negatives and the hurdles I perceive along my path.

You may also find that it really wasn't about you at all. Maybe you feel you need someone's ear only to find out after 5 minute that it is actually them who need yours. Which can also be a great uplifter to both sides. Being a listener is just as important as being the one who is sharing their feelings.

Human beings are tribal creatures and the strength of a tribe comes precisely from complementing our different qualities in a synergistic kind of way. And while this is true for any great project or creation process in the human realm, it is also true for giving our inner sense of direction a boost by having those we care about listen and share their perspective on what we tend to overlook in ourselves.

The real attack on humanity right now may in fact be the lasting attempt to divide even those who once considered themselves a tribe. Make use of the tools we have and overcome that gulch, it is merely artificial and a distraction from the strength we all inherently have if we don't let ourselves get sucked into the vortex of self-doubt or: if we manage to spot that development quickly enough to let a brother or sister pull us out again before we dwell in it for too long.

Communication creates great synergies even where they weren't at first apparent. That is where a tribe derives its strength from, and the willingness of members to hold each other up when they are having a tough time. This support is mutual and unconditional.
