When a thing conflicts with the belief system, there is resistance.  The human mind does not want to let it
in.  There is anger, denial, and the
clenching of teeth.  Vibrations
lower.  Does it have anything to do with
anyone else?  Of course not.  It has everything to do with the personal
self.  Yet, if what you say or do causes
another to react in such a way, do you not take it personally? 

Now do you see the folly in this? 
You are allowing another to stretch and grow … or not.  If they remain firmly fixed in their beliefs
to the point of grinding the teeth flat, then that is their lesson.  Ah yes, but if the other’s reaction is
bothersome to you, then it is a lesson for you as well.  How wonderful!  You are helping each other without even
knowing it.
