Consider this before you reply to anyone

 Do not speak or reply to anyone to hear your own thoughts bounced back onto your mind and ego.  Do not defend what you believe because it angers you or insults your intelligence, just listen and feel what you read or hear, listen with your whole body and become aware of what is being said. Where are they coming from?  Are you coming from your heart? Are you coming from your emotions? Are you coming from your mind? Or are you coming from your inner awareness? It is a simple thing to come from your awareness when you trust yourself and the universe, you know the truth and you rest within your awareness. It is not about proving that you are right, it is more about stating what is so simply clear to you. It is like sharing candy with a friend and not caring if they return the favor. You do not have to prove or defend your awareness to anyone and that is the simple truth. Each of us carries the simple truth of awareness within us, but not all are aware at the same time. Patience and thoughtful replies cultivate aware answers; challenges to awareness shut the door on truth and knowing. You become aware from surrendering your mind and ego to the unknown, not by fighting or debating beliefs and seeking to be right. Only the ego and mind need to be right, awareness doesn’t.
