I always find it intriguing when I set off other people's trigger points. I don't do things with the goal of setting people off, although I do admit there are many occasions where I give out information for people to consider. I have no problem when they think about the issue and still come to the same conclusion. I believe that is part of their journey and part of their BEing. We all have different things we want to explore and learn about in this 3D existence.
This time I posed a question on Facebook. My post reads as follows:
Most of the people who responded to my post did post about peace. However, one person was set off to the point where they first told me that if I believed this was a false flag attack I should unfriend them immediately. I then asked them to define what a false flag attack was and gave them my definition. I also told them it was up to them to unfriend me if they still felt that way. They did unfriend me, and that's okay. It is not for me to change them.
I wish this person would have responded to the question specifically posed to them. I really do want to understand where they are coming from--thoughts, emotions, rationale, etc. As it is, I can only read/feel into it. What I feel (or what my heart tells me) is that they were so threatened by the idea this attack was planned by something bigger than religious extremists they had to lash out at the person who made them consider the thought (me).
Lately when I get triggered in a big way, I try to look at the situation from many angles. I start by asking questions such as, "What about this situation intimidates me?" or "What emotion am I feeling and what do I need to learn from this situation?" This is where I will sit with the information and allow it to sink in. This is where I consciously connect to my heart and search for answers. It is my process for healing and growth and an approach that allows me to quickly work through the energetic blocks in my life.
It is important to understand it is possible to embrace differences. We all experience different things, like different things, believe different things. There is no way we are going to convince all people that what we believe is right, correct or even true. Life is not about changing others. It is about growing and learning. It is about becoming better than you were before. It's about changing self.
The willingness to allow involves both allowing others to BE who they are and allowing ourselves to learn from those experiences we might consider negative. It is in these ways we overcome our own problems to create a better world.
To the person who unfriended me: I still love you. May peace accompany you on your continued journey.

This time I posed a question on Facebook. My post reads as follows:
I am curious. For those of you who have changed your profile pictures to French flag colors, how do you want to support the French people? Are you planning on bringing peace, or are you ready to go to war (which is the goal of world leadership and corporations)? If peace, how are YOU going to promote it?This was just after the horrible events that took place in Paris on Friday the 13th (Nov. 13, 2015).My overall goal with the post was to get people to think about how they could support the concepts of peace instead of those of war. I believe the people who planned this attack desire the world go to war, and I want to do what I can to foil those plans. For me, focusing on peace is the way.
