Greetings.
So we begin, another meeting in this way, through this medium, to say a few words. We wish to remind you, human beings, to be kind to yourselves. This is what we offer this time: the kindness you expect to receive from others is kindness you are meant to give to yourselves.
We are not suggesting you withdraw from people, manage alone, and shut yourselves away from the world. Yet we do suggest that the responsibility for kindness rests with you – for a good experience, for good feelings, for the responsibility of a good life. That responsibility is in your hands. Notice what you expect to receive from others. Do you expect to receive listening? Do you expect them to hold space for you, to give you the chance to express yourselves? What is it you ask of others – and can you give that to yourselves more than you usually do?
Often, especially when conflicts arise, you expect others to give you something you do not grant yourselves. Human beings cannot give you what is yours. They cannot carry your responsibility for you. It is yours to give yourselves what you need. It is also yours to ask from others, if you recognize that you need something from them. It is indeed legitimate and worthy to ask for support when it comes from awareness – from recognition of what you feel, need, and want, and from being for your own sake.
This is what we suggest for this time – be kind to yourselves. Give yourselves what you wish to receive from others. In this way you may discover that it becomes easier to be with others. You may discover that you have yourselves more than you are used to. You may also discover that, at times, you receive from others more easily in this way.
These are our words for now.
With pleasure, Farewell.
