Allowing Allowing

The great paradox of allowing

Being in the emotionally positive state for manifestation is, believe it or not, a selfish way to become unselfish. One of the biggest struggles we can face in our attempts to remain feeling positive, is the lower emotions of the people around us.
That is, we manage to allow our emotional state to match the more negative emotions of the people in our presence.
For example, if we are feeling great and happy and enter a coworker's office, we might find that she is frazzled. Perhaps she was suddenly handed more work than she can handle for the day. In this situation, most of us want to help out, and in doing so put our self into a position where we can relate. We sympathize with the heavy workload and offer to help out.
Suddenly, we find there are two frazzled workers in the office instead of one.
To allow the good emotions to continue to flow within us, we have to be a little bit selfish. It is fine to help with the workload, sure. However, it serves everyone if we allow the coworker to simply stew in her frustration.

How can that be at all giving or in line with Oneness?

Well, if we are in a bad mood, we will be helpless to improve a situation, so it's best to remain positive. Furthermore, a person feeling low may need some time to get to a higher, more positive emotion.
For example, imagine feeling depressed and a cheery friend enters the room grinning from ear to ear and tells you, "Quit being so depressed. Life is great!" The internal reaction is, "No. Life stinks!"
Why is that? It is because our emotional energy is very far from the bright, positive emotion of the friend. If we are in a dark emotional tunnel, at that point we are too far to see the light at the other end.

So how am i supposed to get closer to feeling happiness?

There are many ways to get closer to the emotions of happiness, excitement, and bliss, but it is often a bit of a process. We have to make the trek from one dark emotion, to one that is less negative. We recognize we are on the right path when we feel a sense of relief. For example, the frustrated coworker might find it too difficult to spontaneously feel happy. But when we offer to help with the workload, she may begin to feel hopeful and optimistic. Quite simply, she feels better than she did before. That is the trick! To feel a bit better. And as time passes, she might work her way up to feeling expectation. "This work will be done in no time!" And expectation is merely a step away from feeling happy.
The best part is that we had no need to sacrifice our emotional happiness throughout the coworker's process. Since everyone ultimately wants to feel good, showing our positive energy will eventually lead people out of their dark moods (if they choose to do so). It is like the moth in a dark room drawn to a flame.
The thing to remember is that it is a process. People are generally unable to leap into feeling Peaceful. We start by feeling a little better, and then try to feel even better, and so on.

And after time and practice, the lower more unpleasant emotions may elude us altogether.

Feeling good tells us we are aligning with the ever flowing Spirit of GOD; we are on the right track. And once we enter a state where we feel so full of Love and Divine gratitude that we can willingly surrender to the Creator, we have arrived! Absolute Allowing!
