Video Blog Transcription:

(00:00):
So I think many of the people watching this video have awakened some spiritual gifts. And one of these gifts that I think many of you likely have awakened is the gift of vision, the gift of perception, and being a visionary if you will.

And what I mean by this specifically is the ability to see possibilities. When you're with other people and in situations, you see the possibility of there being greater depth, collaboration, or support. It might be let's work together and create something new, create a new way of being.

(00:50):
Once we receive and see this potential of the situation, there's a tendency for us to feel like that if it doesn’t get completed, that we've somehow failed in executing it or whatever else. And at that point, we tend to take responsibility for not only ourselves but for the other people involved.

And of course, what sometimes happens when there are human beings involved, they may not be willing or able to fulfill that vision. At that point, we cross-bleed a little bit and tend to take responsibility for them which always causes problems.

We may even push for the fulfillment of this vision to happen, maybe to force it or even manipulate or, control them, God forbid. We need to get this done. And they're just like, “Dude, I'm just not into it.” And so of course that goes nowhere good. And ultimately, it doesn't get fulfilled anyway.

(01:58):
So as an alternative, what I would suggest in this situation is first you're gonna continue to see potential and possibility. That just goes with it, when you get to a certain level of consciousness or awareness, you just begin to see things. We can't unsee things, right? Some things we might like to unsee, but we can't.

So when you do see a potential or a possibility that involves other people, my suggestion is to just take responsibility for inviting other people to fulfill this vision or this potential with you, and then let go of whether they choose to step into it or not. In a sense at that point, we're gonna let go of the potential.

(02:56):
The vision and the potential served its purpose. It opened a door so we could see a possibility- that was its job. That's a vision's job is to see the possibility. And then we introduce it and say, “Hey, you and I, we could be really close. We could have this intimate friendship. We could be honest with each other,” or whatever it might be.

And at that point, if they're not willing and able to do that, we let go of the potential, and just say to ourselves, “Well, I did my best and that person's not willing to do it.” And what tends to ensue at that point is kind of a sadness, and it's a natural sadness. We're almost grieving the loss of that possibility.

(03:46):
Because we saw this beautiful thing, right? And often the other people don't see it, at least in the same way, you know? And so we see this beautiful thing, we invite people into it and they're just like, “Nah, I don't think so.” So at that point, it's just sad, and it's important to grieve that loss.

It doesn't have to be a big, long grieve. It's like, “Oh, that would've been cool.” Maybe you could find someone else to fulfill the vision or whatever else, but at that point, that vision isn't gonna happen with that person. And that is sad. Good to feel it, grieve it, and move on your way.

Now the other thing that could happen is you can see how far a person's willing to go in the direction of that vision or that potential. So maybe they say, “Okay, I'm down with this, and they take the first couple of steps, and then they get to a certain depth, and they're not able and willing to go further.

(04:45):
So at that point again, you've done your job. You've fulfilled that potential; you've taken it as far as it can go with that person. And then it's like, “Okay, I've done my job. I've taken responsibility for unfolding this vision, this potential. And I still might need to grieve that it didn't go further, but now I can relate to that person at that level.”

So that is my video for this week. Thank you for watching. I hope that you have an awesome week and that you continue to see potentials, but you take responsibility for the things that you actually do have control over and then let go of the potential when it becomes beyond your control. So I will see you in a week.
