Is it Rejection… or Divine Filtering?
If it doesn’t work out, does it mean you were REJECTED!?! Or there is something WRONG with you?!? Or that you’re NOT ENOUGH?!?
Dang, all those perspectives hurt. I say… they are supposed to hurt.
“Supposed to” in the same way that testing whether a pan is hot with your finger and repeatedly getting burned is “supposed to” hurt. It’s not skillful.
If you value presence of the flavor sobriety allows, and someone else values pleasurable-for-them, altered states of the kind drugs and alcohol induce, is it rejection for there to be clarity that the two are not compatible lifestyles?
Some value ease and comfort over adventure. Some value certainty more than growth (and the courage that growth exercises).
It’s a real skill to recognize those differences and “not take it personally” – meaning, redirect it from hammering on our primitive brain insecurities.
It’s also a skill to know yourself, to be in touch with your values… and feel – really FEEL – the innate valuableness in what YOU value.
Such clarity does indeed make us less malleable. We boost our steel when we boost our knowing of what matters to us.
A long time back, I asked Source for a different way of perceiving rejection. I was given the concept of Divine Filtering. You can read more about it here.
Diving filtering says that clarity will, indeed, filter out options, opportunities, and people from our life. It also asserts that this is a good thing. Divine even!
There’s an intelligence to the unease we feel at the prospect of certain options. Some of that can be a limiting belief on our part. Some of that can be trauma rearing up to be cleared first. I’m grateful to be engaged with a community that “gets this.”
So I look forward to this next workshop Sunday with eagerness to re-affirm that your values, my values… they are Intimate Treasure. What matters in our core nourishes our creativity. What matters to us shows us, sometimes starkly, WHAT cannot be our YES… Even WHO cannot be our YES.
And WHAT and WHO IS INDEED OUR YES!
We’ll be exploring this Sunday. You’re invited! Consider whether it is your YES, and join us if it is. We won’t take it personally if it isn’t.

We look forward to boosting you!
