Lately, I have had to confront some harsh truths from others which has put me in a position of learning how to be highly responsible in how I RECEIVE those truths, no matter how difficult they may be to have.
How do we expect to be trusted to be given a difficult truth if we punish or judge with it?
How one receives truth is just as important as giving the truth when building a relationship.
I learn something new everyday. Thank goodness. 🙂

Potent
truth, this.
Saturn has been so fun to deal with lately. Nearly every day he hands me my ass on a platter (not here). I haven’t felt this hated since middle school!
Yes i like this. I think its helpful to make some kind of comittment to yourself. Commit to accepting the truth, whatever it is. And valueing that above anything else, including comfort, identity and even life itself.
I did make this commitment to myself with saturn in saggitarius.
In my experience of living out this commitment:The worst thing you can hear is that you are slave. But isnt that knowledge freeing in and of itself. So many people are slaves and dont know it. Nor do they want to know. So i just go there. I look for the ways in which im a slave.
The next worse thing i can imagine is that im evil or the universe is evil. Well ive seen evil in myself and others. Check.
Basically i just go to my worst fear and see where its true.
In a relationship, i dont know. I dont want to put someone elses interpretation of me before my own. I can use it as trigger to further investigate but it’s ultimately up to me wether it reveals itself to be true or not.
Now if someone is telling me about themselves and their view, thats always been easier and more natural for me to accept. I think its funny when people feel the need to point out, with humility and delicacy, that their experience or viewpoint is different from mine. Of course its different! Thats a good thing. Im going to challenge you the way i challenge myself though. Ill question you the way i question myself. If you dont think thats fun, then we probably shouldnt hang out:)
Sorry i went off on a tangent:) Its just really relevant for me on a personal level. As well as the collective soup that we live in right now where theres an attempt at censorship being made on such a deep level that its almost invisible.
I can't see the big picture, a big rock (Saturn) is covering it up.
