What Illusionsaregrander loves about this:

I simply dont know what to do. I dont know many people like this, but I am absolutely confounded when it comes to knowing how to deal with someone like this on the rare occaision that it does arise. Obviously this is not a close friend, but I can clearly see that this is a chance to learn something and I am willing to admit I dont have a clue what it is. So, I am casting it out into the Wisdomology community for suggestions.

I remind myself, Allyson, that they are on their path as surely as I am on my own, learning, growing, experiencing life through their own filters. And so it is with compassion and an open heart that I accept them to be where they are in their own...

I don't think that people truly wish that you will fail, but that perhaps they tried something simular and it did not suceed. So they are reflecting their own failure on to you. Bless these people for their opening up of emotions to you, but bless yourself...

try to figure out why they are so negative...if they will let you in that is. if not, just surround yourself with loving white and pink light so that the negativity will not cling to you

As one of the trustees of a charitable organisation about to sprout its wings wide and far, I get this all the time. At time it can be upsetting, infuriating, disempowering... but as one progress on the path, it becomes empowering, still sad, but at least it doesn't affec...

The miracle of interconnection is wonderous indeed, but I guess we shouldnt be surprised if we consider Oneness deeply. The apparent world is so distracting, however, and it is easy to forget that there is no distance between us. That is something I am wonderi...

For me, non duality is baring no judgement of right or wrong but rather encompassing everything, every phenomena with a compassionate mind. Sometime we can realise something as profund as this, but we still need time to develop the qualities of pure compassion, so that tr...

Thank you Phendedeweilhamo. It has been eye opening for me to really realize how "fear based" this kind of behaviour is. And I do wish that person well, but I think I am going to wish them well from afar. I know one of the "errors" I ...

I have just done the same thing this weekend, with someone who has been creating obstacles for the past 13 years of my relationship/marriage. Being compassionate to oneself sometimes involves keeping the obstacles off the path in order to progress. I hope your obstac...

Wise words, Alyson. I'm just back from a retreat where I have looked deep into the mirror; it has been painful, but most revealing... My close ones were with me... Your words underline the conclusion I have come to. But besides, I am also learning to be mor...

Oh, this is not a fun one. I have seen this in religious bigots who pray that someone "will be shown the error of their ways." and conform to their idea of how things should be. To this end, they pray against someone. (black magic) and sometimes jeal...

Thank you for the response, Triara. It does/did feel particularly "un-friendly." In fact, that was my first visceral response, just wanting to avoid or stay away from that person. I believe in learning all the lessons life has to offer me, and ...
