I could be present with anything and not be triggered.

When we have a reaction to something, when we get triggered by something, when we find ourselves resisting or withdrawing, it's actually the perfect signage on the road to point you in the direction of embracing the parts of you that get pocketed off in those moments when your internal environment isn't matching your external environment.

For instance, we show up with these loving beings.

You know, you look into the eyes of an infant and that glow is just right there.

There's an emanation and a beauty that's just pouring off of them.

And then little by little, as we, you know, begin to engage and infuse ourselves into this world, we start to layer on top of that perceptive concepts and ways of using our faculties that conceal us.

But that...

that internal presence is still there.

It's always going to be there.

It's what we're made of.

And so the truth is still there.

And our job is to discover it.

So when we're out here operating in this survival-based reality, we get triggered, we get upset, we get reactive.

And if in that moment we recognize reality,

I'm having a reaction here.

You know, I'm a little triggered.

I can feel my heart beating.

I feel the tension.

I feel my spine bow up a little bit.

You know, I'm a little bit more lucid in ways that could serve me if I knew what to do with that energy in that moment.
