Dealing with negative projections

12/12/05 Dealing with projections
When you find negative feelings stirred up within you, then it is time to see them cancelled through the Cross of Jesus and cleansed in His blood. Then replace those feelings with His love. In this way you will deal with your own projections in real life and in dreams. This is the process of change. Many are blind to the fact that their negative responses are part of their shadow self and therefore blame the other for the cause of their negative feelings. The turning point in healing is when you are able to recognise that those feelings are really yours and take responsibility for them. Many shy away from relationships because they think that others cause pain when in reality you cause your own pain. When you are free from these tormenting spirits of selfishness and greed then you will be free to love all. This is to bear the image of Christ. So the first step is to remove the plank in your own eye before removing the splint in your brother’s eye. This is a true saying. We are quick to judge and label others but be careful for you judge yourself when you do this. How you judge your brother will be the way you judge yourself. Once you have judged yourself then it is easy to see where the other is coming from. This is why relationships are so confusing because of the unconscious processes involved in the interaction. So judge yourself first when you find a stirring of negativity within and then see if you can see clearer. Many times familiar spirits are able to attract and therefore what you condemn in the other is the shadow part of you which you are blind to. You avoid such relationships and seek those that do not stir you up the wrong way. You can heal yourself and then be able to heal the other. This is what Christ did when He accepted and loved others and then redeemed them through His Cross. You are called to do the same.
