You don't judge just Oh Same old thing of course it's whatever They do or say it's the same old thing That's for sure whatever form the same Old thing takes it's the same old thing They are trapped in it How do I deal with negative family Members while maintaining inner peace That's related of course to The previous Earlier and earlier the earlier Questions about parents Trying to teach them about consciousness Allow them Their state of consciousness Except their limitations And realize that whatever they are Saying to you Is simply They're manifesting their conditioning That's all So you don't need to take it personally Anymore That's really not anybody there there's Just a A bundle of Ideas and Concepts The egoic self And that's wants something from you or Tells you something It doesn't mean very much So these they're conditioned By their mind

Which is conditioned by their past Really compassion is the Answer to this So that You don't condemn them For not having gone beyond their Conditioning For not being free of ego For being stuck In the same consciousness of the past 30 Or 40 years You don't condemn them for that you just See it And you may even be able to Empathically that's the word Sense Something in them occasionally perhaps Only That is deeper than and more real than Their conditioning what they manifest on The surface So you may even be able to love them Despite the fact that The person that they are on the surface May not be lovable at all Oh Not equating the conditioning The ego with who that human being is In their essence Of course there may still be some Conditioning in you from your childhood And they may they have a shared past With all those people And it is more challenging to be present

With humans with whom you have to have a Lot of sad past and humans that you have Have not known actually known for that Long The more past you share with the human The more intense presence is required And of course the most intense present Is required with your parents because With whom you share your entire past That's why asram does say spending time With your parents is always the ultimate Test Unless you're one of those few whose Parents are relatively conscious That's becoming Happens more often these days than in Past Generations In the generation of my parents Conscious parents were unheard of I can't never met any conscious parents And anybody I knew But in my generation I never had Children but in my generation there are A few more because there were people who Already participated in the the Spiritual awakening that happened in the 60s and early 70s there was the human Potential movements all kinds of things Coming in And people were some people were Beginning to wake up and so some some Had children and they were relatively if Not completely awakened but perhaps Relatively are more conscious than other

Previous generations So you're then able to be non-reactive When you meet them And that's a huge Safety in your Consciousness to become Non-reactive with people with whom you Share a lot of past And then you just you look around them And you're the witness you're the Witnessing consciousness of whatever Behavior they manifest and you look in Amazement You don't judge just Oh Same old thing of course it's whatever They do or say it's the same old thing That's for sure whatever form the same Old thing takes it's the same old thing They are trapped in it They don't know that That's why it's easy to forgive them Because they don't know
