Sometimes when we’ve been harmed, we need to “turn the other cheek.”  Yes, the ego wants to retaliate and “fight back,” but your higher self says to “let go.”  When you can let go of the need to “fight” you have allowed yourself to be one with your spirit.

Letting go of the need to “be right” allows for you to live your life more as an observer, and less as an active “player” in the games that so many people are playing.  Life goes beyond anything that occurs during this lifetime, and the lessons that you learn and grow from provide the strength, courage, and freedom for you to “go beyond.”   When we do not participate in retaliation for being wronged, we are freeing the negative energy associated with the event, and allowing ourselves to move towards something positive in nature.

Attaching yourself to negative events, even though you may be completely justified, is a “lower self” act.  When you have been harmed and you can literally “turn the other cheek” you are acting from your “higher self.”  When we live and behave from our higher selves we are living beyond this lifetime.

Have you ever tried to argue with someone who doesn’t engage in arguing back?  It is a difficult thing to do, and becomes more of a lecture than an argument.  Eventually, you have no more to say, since the other person did not fuel your fire, and you become quiet.  The same is true for most situations where someone appears to be intent on harming you.   When you do not engage, their “fire” begins to dwindle and burn out.

No, we are not saying that if you are a victim of criminal abuses, you should not seek help.  What we are saying is that if you find yourself in situations where you feel your ego is encouraging you to engage and to “fight back” you might consider turning the other cheek and letting go.  Eventually, the fight in the other person will diminish towards you and possibly altogether, but will most likely get turned towards someone else willing to “fight back.”

A boxer needs an opponent to assess his skills.   Similarly, a hostile person needs someone to argue with in order to feed their ego.  Let their ego starve, and move yourself to a higher place without words directed back at them!
