| Recently a friend of mine submitted an article to me | | | | thing. I immediately removed the article from my site |
| she wrote about helping out in nature. | | | | before anyone had seen it, but it was too late-the |
| After reading the article I was so excited about how | | | | damage had already been done. It was now personal. |
| well it was done and the message it conveyed, that I | | | | It's been over a week since the article was published |
| was inspired to write an article about her. I immediately | | | | and she has not returned my email or chatted with me. |
| published her article to my directory as well as the | | | | Clearly I blew it. After all the articles and books I have |
| article I wrote about her. | | | | written with this one message in it-I did it myself. I |
| With all the good intentions of helping her I made two | | | | committed spiritual malpractice. I made a judgment and |
| major mistakes. First I judged her situation. Over the | | | | acted on it, without knowing the intention of the |
| years she has given selflessly and has received little | | | | soul-her soul. As the saying goes "The road to Hell is |
| compensation for her efforts. From what she has told | | | | paved with good intentions." |
| me, people seek her advice but are unwilling to | | | | Because we can never know what the true intentions |
| compensate her for it. Many times she has told me | | | | of one's soul is, when we interfere no matter how well |
| she is just so tired of helping others and not having it | | | | intentioned we are, we interrupt a natural process that |
| returned. | | | | can have harmful effects. This is spiritual malpractice. |
| Knowing this I set out to write my article and direct | | | | Even if the outcome seems to be more positive on |
| people to her article so that maybe they would visit | | | | the surface, it may not have been the intention of the |
| her site and help her. I did this without her knowledge | | | | soul to experience that outcome. |
| and with the beautiful message of her article still | | | | It is OK to offer help to someone, but it is not OK to |
| resonating with me. | | | | give it without asking no matter what your intentions |
| The lesson in her article was very clear-sometimes | | | | are. I think this is something we all do from time to time. |
| when you set out to help, you make things worse! | | | | We may never no the after effects of what we have |
| I apparently misjudged her and her situation. I published | | | | done, but we may have delayed a desired result for |
| the article and uploaded it to my site. While I was doing | | | | the other one's spirit. The very best we can do for |
| that I was having a chat with her online. I told her about | | | | another without their permission is to wish them well. |
| my article and how it may help her. She read the | | | | We are not interfering with a natural result and we are |
| article a little bit later and returned an email to me. She | | | | sending positive energy to that person. |
| was devastated that I would write such an article | | | | Sorry my friend and thank you for a lesson well |
| about her. I had gotten it all wrong and I had hurt her, | | | | learned. |
