Mihr
Relationships
Think nothing else but that God ordains all, and where there is no love, put love, and you will draw out love. Saint John of the Cross, Letter to Maria de la Encarnacion
Mihr (Mer) is the angel of friendship, love and diving mercy. Mihr watches over group relationships including our personal family, business family, network of friends and favorite organizaions. As a social architect, Mirhr's job is to bring together people in groups of three or more who can combine their talents and interests to further some form of progress on Earth. These associations can be based on self-understanding and mutual appreciation as well as service orientation for the accomplishment of a certain task.
Spiritual community is very important to our growth. We need the company of others with similar aspirations to encourage us as we travel our pathway Home. If you have not found such a group, ask Mihr to lead you to one. then be open for a response, often in a way that you do not expect. It is rare when the members of a biological family are on the same destiny path. They often go different ways, leaving you without support in difficult times or companionship to celebrate important victories. A spiritual community becomes your Eternal family. Just showing up for a weekly meditation or service isn't enough. The most value comes when you participate and give your all with love, truth and caring.
Mihr brings people together who have similar life aspirations. Seemingly inconspicuous meetings may build a momentum of energy and service that brings lasting change. Be alert to seek out these special relationships everywhere---at work, with roomates, and through activities you are passionate about such as helping the hungry and homeless, recycling, ending pollution, child care, education and non-violence. Though many assocations are preordained, they take willingness and determination to discover and develop. Ask Mihr to introduce you to others who can help fulfill your Divine Plan.
The family can be most precious vehicle for growth. The intimacy allows relfection of parts of yourself that you may not see any other way. Often this appears as conflict or irritation making it difficult to recognize as your own issue. When the family is not valued as a source for learning and expanded awareness, valuable opportunities go unnoticed and dysfunctions are passed from one generation to the next.
Children are born to balance male and female principles between their parents. They may reflect their parents' feelings at the time of conception. If there was attunement, love, and a desire for the child, the soul attracted may be agreeable and respectful. If there was forcefulness, guilt, or less than unconditional love, the child conceived can exhibit the denial and conflict of the parents.
What were the circumstances at the conception of your children? You can help them heal by facing the denial they represent in yourself. Most parents feel guilty when hatred and rage are triggered by their children's actions. Do you either pretend to feel loving or abuse your children emotionally, physically or sexually? Begin first by recognizing your true feelings in a private and safe environment. You have the power to change the expression of your emotions from destructive acts to healing expressions of love. Once you transform yourself, you can begin to confront your children from a position of loving acceptance. When you teach them how to embrace their true feelings, the family can become a sacred tool for awakening.
What was the situation when you were conceived? Are you still acting out dysfunctional behaviors with your parents and siblings? You have the power to change through your own forgiveness and healing. Self-forgiveness can miraculously affect your parents when you haven't even seen them. Suddenly, one day they are different. A new level of respect and understanding penetrates the veil of separation between you. Be alert for opportunities to break old patterns.
What a wonderful world it will be when children are born into loving, nurturing enviornments. then adulthood can be spent evolving rather they trying to release painful conditioning of the past. If you were not blessed with a loving family who is supportive of your spititual path, create you own. Call on Mihr to help you attract others who are on a similar path. Make a commitment to one another to be there and not leave in the rough times, to speak the truth even when it hurts, to work through misunderstandings and selfishness, and to share joy and happiness in moments to be treasured.
