As we live in a society where we act, react, deduct, analyze and expect, today we will take a back seat and have little or no reactions to things people say or anything which happens. We will give our emotions a rest while we accept what other share with us but we do not necessarily need to agree with what they say. Not reacting means listening with acceptance without bringing our limited opinions into the conversation.
What this serves us for is to allow our reactionary emotional self to relax and observe our normal behavior. Are we quick to jump in, are we passive, are we opinionated, do we want to talk a lot? Besides this as we are not reacting to what others say, we can take our time to understand and more importantly not misunderstand others. Not reacting gives us vital extra moments to absorb information without thinking we have to have a pre recorded reply which is our standard response.
Go about your normal day, chat be social but try not to react with opinion. Take your time and be vigilant, patient and be aware of your non action.

Honey, MJ called Howard’s sister and was coming to see Howard in Hong Kong but he ran out of merit and he passed away. Howard was planing to take MJ to pay homage to the master in Thailand.
Sweeetie, i remember the pic above well, i see it every morning :p that the monks came in front of Mum’s house here. Human can make a living, like birds can earn their food and shelter for living. Our master and the monks graduate B.A. and who want to ordain at the temple normally. Ordination is by choice with merit accrued over lives and wishes like the Lord Buddha who was the prince in India. :p
MJ is now in the 1st heaven honey, he was looking at ceiling waiting for the light and his God that he learned about and believes in, nothing show up.
Merit that Howard made for him with other people in Buddhism, his name is announced in food offering for monks hall, Cetiya paying homage , Howard was the chairman inviting others offering food and rope during the 7days made MJ’s Dharma sphere bright, his spirit body disappearred, his celestial body is born. He didnt go to hell :p Virtuous friend is everything for purity, Howard will ordain for MJ next year with A Chai, the little boy in HK , you saw his video :p
MJ felt he was alone and blank like he has no one until the power of merit made he think of Howard and this friend’s good deeds making him think of his own public service good deeds, he felt like sleeping and waking up sitting in the middle of 1st heaven , his retinue are standing in front of him. He was sitting on the round bed with half pillow behind him. He appreciate gladly with his celestial musician castle like the size on the mountain. It Cant compare to Dusitburi which is bigger than Bangkok :p
MJ is walking with the head of his retinue appreciating his wealth and thinks his ” God ” gives him but not, it is from merit in Buddhism as mentioned. :p
I’m thankful to Cameron for your article, I’m relieved :p and know you well :p Dusitburi focused :p
MJ ’s face, skin changed to white pink, no bone like in his spirit body, he looks 18 years. He is wearing comfortable costume, gold at wrists :p
He is new born so he is being himself , shown in his taste of costume, his hair is shoulder long. He and his retinue will go to report his birth to the district head officer asap. :p
Lotus furnished decoration shown high rank celestial being if making merit in Buddhism, MJ is now middle class musician where he used to be here many times from merit did with Great yogi, but this time he did not go to hell.
Howard and MJ used to friend, Howard was born in agriculture family selling fruits and poet in his free time, MJ played music around and came to the town Howard was, they were introduced and appreciated each other’s music, MJ asked Howard’s poem to sing and MJ sang for him the first person.
Howard gave his fruits to MJ and his band team.
While performing around, MJ met other poets and send their poems back to Howard to appreciate, they keeped their wonderful relationship :p
5-6 years round MJ rotated back to Howard’s town.
MJ’s influence, Howard made merit and made wish to be born in musician family at youth so he can learn fast :p :p :p lol :p ( the later life he got it :p )
Howard took MJ to pay homage to his master, the king who out for ordination, the master now :p
They were at late age, MJ passed away while travelling and did not came back for Howard, REPEATING THE SAME PATTERN honey!!!!
Howard called Brandon Howard, MJ’s nephew to go to the house and taught MJ to say ” Sadhu” meaning ” i rejoice in your merit” or you said or done well in Pali language, Brandon loves the word after he said it and wanted to name after his child if he has one :p lol :p
MJ made merit with the great Yogi before the life he met Howard :p and this was the reason while he was successful and well loved from inviting others to make merit the the great yogi who reach Dharma shpere and show miracles performance to MJ when he was young little boy, cheerful and loved to dance :p
Babes, i wish you meditate well, i did yesterday was so inside of me diving and the vast bright light my own universe, the real happiness no one can take from me :p i share my merit to you and your parent, loved ones and all :p
Fruit of merit from inviting others to ordain , celestial garden in Dusitburi and celestial musicians from our lake performing for us 576 million years :p :p Nirvana is real goal however ;p

Thank you my dearest darling Cameron.Before,in the past years when I began this behaviour I did not know it was healthy and I was so afraid and anxious for myself that I am being totally cut off from things and I thought I needed God to help me.Indeed God is helping me as I was and am doing and behaving in exactly very healthy ways.What could be better than a healthy mind and person.Looking at all the unhealthy ways entities & demons have injected into humans and how they prey on human minds & souls devouring them,it is indeed precious to know the difference and be aware of what is happening.I am blessed.Thank you.Darling Cameron I love you my sweet heart,my angel,my heart & soul.Thank you Cameron.Hugs & kisses darling.

Thank you for the wisdom of this post. My natural tendency seems to often be to listen to the speaker, find a trajectory that points to a positive outcome and inject my own perception of what is positive into the conversation after they have presented a need or concern. From what I am understanding, this is also ego? This is also my own limited understanding even though the intent is “support” and “helping” ? Does this also fall under emotion and reactiveness rather than being a reflective space for another person? I think I understand the essence of stepping back from the conversation (my own side included) with the intent of being the observer rather than a participatory “observed”, but does the above mentioned tendency need adjustment in your understanding? Thank you so much for clarification…Namaste Gee

What is the difference between being intuitive and being judgmental?
