Knowing we are Spiritual beings, we do our best to become more like Spirit is, we pray and meditate, watch our thoughts and behaviors, strive to be the best version of ourselves possible. And we effect real change in ourselves, some of our habits shift to better ones, we have more positive responses to circumstances or events that happen.
Your overall vibration changes, and people start noticing something different about you; and they may not necessarily like that. They were used to the old you, and their vibration is now not congruent with yours, and that makes them feel awkward, they no longer know how to relate to the new person you’ve become.
If you’re lucky, your family and close friends are also looking to upgrade their lives, and your example will encourage them to make some positive changes. But sometimes those closest to you will not appreciate your new way of being and it will irritate them. They are comfortable as they are, making changes requires work, and they are just not willing to do it.
They realize you have become more conscious, are really thinking of what is best for you, rather than accepting the conditioning you have undergone together with the people around you. It demonstrates to them that they are still in the conditioned unconscious state, while you have lifted yourself out of it. That’s not necessarily a conscious realization on their part, they simply don’t like it without even knowing exactly why they don’t like it.
That creates a separation. Unless, as the more conscious person, you find a way of explaining to them what it is that’s motivating you, and encourage them to also find what they really want from life. And so freeing themselves from the constraints they have been subjected to and from the habits they formed that are not serving them any more, and start reaching for the life they really want.
Having choice is the greatest gift we have been given by Life, and we each must make our own choices, without being influenced or forced by other people’s opinions. When we make our choices from the space of love toward everyone and everything, and allow others to make their own choices, whether that is to change and grow, or to stay as they are, then we allow for a potentially difficult situation to slowly resolve itself in a way that is best and supportive of every individual.
