People will try to project their crap onto U, but U stand ur ground/maintain boundaries that are ur right. Folks who never learned how 2 own their own are threatened by the depth of authenticity that is U. Ur character makes them judge their own self. They project their stuff in a weak attempt 2 judge U/throw blame, when u R in no way 2 blame. They project their garbage 2 try an falsy "protect" their self from the pain of facing their own, on their own. Every1 does what they do 2 survive or thrive. Some learned/use healthy effective means 2 do so, some use old world dysfunction/self base ways an sadly stay the same or continually get worse til they R forced to see the lyte. Most? Most R somewhere in between ...workin ...strivin ...prayin ...tryin and tryin again... 2 "figure it out" as they go an perpetually make 2morrow better than 2day. When people try 2 project what's not mine on2 me or my family, I stand my ground. Homie don't play that. I also see that person as a soul, a child of God, a being who once was a baby and has an inner baby/child and acts out all they went through over and again. I may or may not choose to fellowship with them but I love them just the same an do my best to see the good in all even if the bad seems to outweigh it. Nor can I exalt myself over them...in anyway. Its a fine balance to attain an I know I've only just begun the journey. In the world of the spirit time does not exist though, so its all one. I've learned that the key to true self actualization is achieved by overcoming the self through service to humanity/God. No I don't mean self deprecating...not takin care of yo self type self sacrafice. What I'm talking about is falling so in love with the Light that through that service and forgetting of worldly desire u attain spiritual aquisition and progress and u continually- eternally grow to know and love yourself by knowing and loving your Source...and vice versa.
