Dear Guides,
What dynamic would cause family members to make me feel guilty when I want to do something for myself (i.e. they have other expectations about what I usually do, or it requires them to do more than their usual responsibilities)?
Excerpt from Minda’s channeling 9.29.2009:
Dear Ones,
…When this action of following your heart causes you to feel tugs of remorse, or to be sensitive to others’ intimations about your choices, or their judgments about your behavior, then you can know that there is some sort of a gap which you have set up parallel to your heart’s desire which is pulling you in this divisive way. You have set up a dilemma for yourself, not in this moment exactly, but in past similar moments or in the surrounding situations which make it much easier to bifurcate from your own path, to wobble between what you want to have happen and what you expect of yourself and others, which may be of a lesser vibration.
What this means is that if you were true to yourself, things would align, things would work out, such that the path would open without the conflicts. Your desires would realize “miraculously” in the way you have set them up. Because you set in motion all these situations, even if you are not conscious of that in your daily life.
…What we are reminding you is that you can write and re-write the script any way that suits you. Adjust and continue. Re-write, re-think, and you will see that seemingly impossibly quickly the other characters with which you surround yourself will begin to adjust to the new dynamics that you set up.
