Something That Happened

[chakajo75]

This morning I thought I was going to die because my blood sugar was 55. I am a diabetic. I did not think I would make it down stairs fast enough to get soda I also ate pure sugar as well. As I sat on the couch I was thinking suppose I could not get out of bed at all and passed out there. I was upset with my guides for not helping me when I needed them. I guess they were with me today and I am glad for that. I guess they do love me because if not they probably would have let me die. I was mean to them because they would not help me in my development class. I guess you must have love, but my question is What is the difference between love and being stupid. We do things for family members because we love them, but what that person is using that for personal gain. I do feel better now. Any thoughts?/

There is no personal wanting/needing in love. If you believe that, then if you expect to receive something for a particular action, then it is not done out of love.

Helping others who refuse to help themselves is not helping. Assisting someone in achieving their goals is supportive, creating a mindset of helpless dependency is not.

Helping others without them asking or at least consenting to the help is a camouflaged form of taking. I speak here in the social sense, as obviously someone who is suffering physically in such a way as to be unable to even ask, needs to be helped. The main point is, it is not for us to determine what an individuals needs are, it is for them to determine. Only they can know what is best for them. This is especially true when it comes to spiritual matters.

Real love is blind, and expects nothing in return. If the help we are giving another is being used in a destructive way to that individual or others associated with that individual, then clearly, it is not "real help" and should be withdrawn.

Compassion should always be balanced with wisdom.

I would respectfully suggest that your guides probably think it's your job to keep better track of your blood sugar and it would probably be a good idea to keep something by the bed to eat. (Maybe I am one of your guides. )

Good advice, nonetheless....

Death is a choice, if you wanted to leave you would have..

Upset at your guides? Why do you need sugar.. ohh you have this disease that says you do?

Maybe today was just a wake up call to the idea you don't need to carry the idea of this disease any longer..
