Triggering the fragile
- 1. Triggering the Fragile January, 9, 2020 There are millions of people who live on the borderline of happiness but also on the fragility of negative reaction. Just a little push or pull will send them into a dark space they have little control over. It’s simply a situation of the heart being touched to bring up attached to bad memories. Just someones face, voice, gesture or name mentioned can trigger negative reactions. They are protective of their boundaries or space that they ‘think’ must be protected. How to deal with negative triggering is a vital part of the spiritual, conscious development. Doing my public free speech ‘displays’ over time in front of millions I obviously encounter things that would 'trigger' anyone's ego. Over the years, and slowly, I would say that almost no one can trigger me, and of course I do many who are ‘triggered’ on my 'sign titles’, but with commentary below to ‘un-trigger'. Many ‘reactors’ of course don't read down that far. The real tests come when you have close contact and knowing someone. It's a complex dilemma at times especially when engaging with someone (particularly a close friend or someone you're in a love space with). I write on relationships as a spiritual path because of wonderful experiences beyond what can be imagined, however it’s usually having been with those who are not the 'triggered' type, usually not carrying unresolved experiences from childhood. It’s not uncommon with others, particularly if you have a close involvement with them, that they can be types who are triggered by things that 'the un-triggered type' are not. Perception of word meanings are a big triggering thing for some people. Some people can’t even see or feel the heart of another and realize that their self hatred is what they are really seeing is ‘self reflecting’. Deep down of course, everyone is loving and pure. What you always need to be working on is to not be triggered by someone who's triggered especially those who you have a close relationship with. It can be a knee jerk happening to cast a reaction to another (who might be someone you have a close connection with) who is 'triggered' by something said or even a gesture that many wouldn't be triggered by. The spiritual expression of using 'skillful means' to interact is a big asset. Of course, accessing the deep love of self within is as if an angel is helping ( or call it god's help?). Know that meditation is a great devise to help in detaching from hurtful memories. Always one's choice of control is a tool, but it can still be like climbing a mountain when you're not prepared to in all ways. Being totally open in the heart with the highest discernments of interaction is a blessing. Everything comes with an ‘opportunity’ to gain from it, even if it’s a great sorrow as it can open your heart to living more in it. Arhata~
