Confrontation

.
Literally ‘a hostile or argumentative meeting or situation between opposing parties’, a confrontation seems to have a less ‘hostile’ yet still intense meaning in the energy of today. And then I am aiming at the confrontations we may have with ourselves...

These may be confrontations between the things we really want to have in our lives and our inability ~ for whatever reasons ~ to manifest them for ourselves. Or between the things we really would like to do, and the job that is paying the bills. Or even something basic like a confrontation between the physical, logical part of our lives and the spiritual aspects of our lives...

No matter what example you look at, in the energy of this point in time it seems like everybody is confronted with those things in their lives that don’t work for them. These may be things that worked quite well in the past; or perhaps even things that have no logical reason for happening ~ or not happening, as the case may be ~ at all!
They can also be inner things like attitudes and emotions ~ feelings of fear, or guilt.
And it all is not only coming to the surface, it has a tendency to be ‘right in your face’...

The good thing about this is, of course, that it is immediately obvious what things in life need looking at. Especially when observed from a spiritual perspective, this mechanism provides us with an exceptional tool for our own personal (spiritual) growth!

The danger is that it can bring you into a situation where you feel you are putting out fires hand over fist ~ and as soon as you have solved one problem, something else that needs your attention pops up right away. Leaving you hardly any time to take a breath, or to sit back and regain your balance.

Ultimately, each confrontation ~ whether it is an ‘inner confrontation’ or a confrontation with something or someone outside of ourselves ~ brings us closer to understanding what we are all about. What is our priorities are. What we enjoy in our lives and perhaps more importantly, what we can do without. Bit by bit it helps us confront our fears, our feelings of guilt ~ and all emotional binds that tie us to the past; that hold us back from moving forward.

Given the fact that each opportunity to confront ourselves ~ and to make a decision on some aspect of our lives ~ comes up so strongly; we may as well take some time to look at it. To observe it. And maybe most importantly ~ to listen to ourselves... When you say something like: “I don’t need this in my life!”, you are in essence telling yourself that you have already made the decision whether you want (to keep) it, or not. All that is left is to take action and remove it from your life...

Yet, in this energy that in itself can be a confrontation!
