Is there value in socializing with those of vastly different intensity ranges?

I find little or no value fulfillment when I voice a thought concept to those whose habitual frequency range does not align with my own. This is a personal dilemma that I feel to be similar to Seth’s first dilemma of action, in that I cannot satisfactorily materialize my thought identities. Recognizing that all received thoughts are never identical to the original transmitted one is helpful in dealing with this dilemma; however, my value fulfillment is always perceived to be highest when the recipient of my transmitted thoughts shares an emotional and philosophical frequency range that is close to my own; and I tend to isolate myself from others that do not share my range.

My acknowledgment of this personal truth has led me to restrict my socializing since most people I meet do not come close to sharing my habitual frequency range. Brief encounters do offer an emotional reward, but not a philosophical reward; except for the small one of enjoying the recognition of the rightness of my philosophy…

A somewhat stressful result of my understanding of this seems to appear whenever I have acquaintances or family members that desire to spend more time with me than I know I would enjoy. Honestly communicating my attitude about socializing with types of people seems to be the most practical and correct thing to do. The only perceived negative, I sometimes experience, involves hurting the others feelings; which has significant potential since their capacity to understand my transmitted thoughts, about my attitude, is low due to their habitual frequency range…

I believe Seth would say, "If it's not fun, stop doing it!"

Love,
Mike.

Hey Jeffrey!

Do you have children? If not, do you ... can you ... relate to children?

As adults, socializing with those who are at a different place in their personal growth from our own can be like relating to children. We don't ignore them. To the contrary, we find ways to communicate with them - through play, story-telling, music, art! Seeing the world through their eyes can often open our own eyes to greater and greater teachings within ourselves.

Sometimes it is important to get out of our own way in order to relate to others. It is good to remember that if we find ourselves perceiving others at a lesser level of spiritual growth, there are many who perceive us to be at the lesser level! If we are not open to sharing who we are and what we may be able to exchange with each other, then the opportunity to learn and grow and teach is gone - invalidated.

It doesn't matter where on the spiritual spectrum any of us may be ... opening ourselves up to sharing whatever we can, when we give ourselves permission to socialize from a place of love, is how we learn and grow and become the best we can be. Nothing grows in a vacuum ...

Beautifully and perfectly said Marcia! Can't find much more to add except that Jeffry, your philosophy is right for you, but may not everyone's cup o' tea. Someone else's philosophy is right for them, and we may not care for the flavor of their tea either. We can still sit and sip our tea and just be friendly. We don't have to try to force each other to switch tea, but we can each enjoy the flavors that are perfect for us, and still enjoy each others company. It just seem like you are placing many limits on yourself. Hope that didn't ramble too much, anyway, what Marcia said!
Love, Cyn

Hi Marcia,

I have 2 stepchildren. I have learned much from them. It is not that I think of most others as having a lesser level of spiritual growth, it is that I find their conversations boring. It is my observation that their spiritual understanding does not align with mine and that the observations and conversations that I find interesting do not resonate with them.

Also, when I share who I am and what I believe in, when there is no expressed interest, then I feel that it is of very little value for me to continue with them. These are not fun encounters so I prefer to not have them. It is somewhat non-fulfilling to meet others whose interest is not sparked by my view of reality, but this seems to be my current course in life...

Hello again Jeffrey,

Yes, we do create our own reality and you have chosen to experience one which is less than fun for you. That is your choice. Your level of resistance is your own way of validating for you the contrast between what you want and what you believe ...

In Light and Laughter,

Marcia

BTW: thank you for your contribution here Cyn ... so perfectly appropos!
