That's a good question because I feel the answer is both yes and no.
We can consider ourselves awake (and in the present moment) when our daily desire is simply to be a helpful person. Automatically, the right words will come from within us, guided by the Spirit of our desire. In that respect, the answer to your question is yes.
However, it is also no because if we begin to "fear" the words we might say, we are focusing on something entirely different. In fear, we are capable of reacting to people, rather than responding to them in love, regardless of the friction they may cause us.
Set your desire each morning to be of help to this world and to offer love where it is needed -- to those who are angry and in despair. You will see that you have hooked up to a Power that will generate the proper response each and every time.
You will eventually want to be guided in this way, rather than having things go your way. This first step activates the LOA in your life and everything wonderful will follow.
Then...you must forgive them, because that person is merely a projection of your own mind.
The Master was asked how many times one should forgive another.
His answer, "Until seventy times seven."
There is great symbolism in his answer that can be traced to ancient times. Forgive until the end of the world.
As humans, we make mistakes with each other daily. It becomes a wonderful opportunity for us to raise our consciousness through the act of forgiving.
But when someone refuses to engage in that function, it is because that person can't forgive themselves first, and that someone...is you... being mirrored in the other.
So, you must keep your heart open and forgive them for being resistant. Ultimately, you will be releasing your own misperceptions of yourself.
And don't worry...you have until the end of times to understand this. Therein lies the grace.
Today is a new day, you can apologize, do something kind for her.
Mothers always know your heart...just don't wait too long as those thoughts have a tendency to become cemented into something more difficult to undo over time.
Daphne-- Does that mean we have to think about everything we say all the time? How does this work with LOA? Thank you
