Hello everyone, I hope you've had a beautiful week. In today's episode, we're going to talk about the experience of being triggered on lessons you believe you have already learned. This is something I think we've all experienced at some point or another, especially if we've become aware of a very blarring symptom karmic lesson within a relationship that we thought we had gotten over in the past, only to see that it's coming up again. So, simply enough, if you're being triggered by a lesson that you believe that you had already learned, chances are you didn't actually learn it. When we are utilizing the term triggered specifically, it's because how we perceive something being said to us, done to us, or shown to us is affecting our mental peace in some form. We have an attachment to that thing and how it makes the ego feel about itself, hence why we are being triggered instead of just observing it. So let's say that you believe you have learned the symptom karmic lesson of patience and to not be so impulsive. You're in a new relationship, but you're currently being triggered by your new partner having you wait around while the relationship revolves around their schedule. You wait for them to call you, you wait for them to make plans, you wait for their schedule to be conducive to yours. You're irritated with the higher self because you had already learned patience and you're wondering why you're being tested again. Is patience really the lesson here? Maybe the lesson is control, or boundaries, or understanding what characteristics you want or don't want in a partner, or perceived respect, or self-love, or self-worth, or non-attachment. Symptom karmic lessons can appear to be synonymous with ones you've already learned, when in reality they're showing you different things with the topical application of looking alike. This is where you have to really look at how the scenario makes you feel. Remember that symptom karmic lessons always point back to the core karmic lesson. So when you look at patients, for example, you may ask yourself, what is it about waiting that triggers me so much? The answer may initially be because the other person doesn't apparently respect your time or that they're inconsiderate. But that has to do with the other person and it's not their trigger, so go deeper. You perceiving them as inconsiderate and disrespectful makes you feel like they don't care about you enough to make time for you. What's underneath? Does it make you feel like no one cares about you no matter what you do and how many lessons you learn? That's a core karmic lesson of self-love. Does it make you feel like you're not worth enough to care about? That's a core karmic lesson of self-worth. Your symptom karmic lesson will always lead you back to the core karmic lesson. When you've truly learned a symptom karmic lesson, you'll be able to see exactly what is going on at the time of potential trigger and observe it objectively. Will you be tested with the same lesson over and over again? Maybe. This is the higher self's way of seeing if you've truly learned it. Once you have learned it, two things may happen. One, you will no longer be presented with the lesson by those close to you. Two, if the lesson is presented to you, you will view it as a red flag and deal with it how you see fit. Also, it's definitely possible to be still triggered by lessons that you were shown and believed to have gotten over during ego degradation. A lot is occurring during the time of ego degradation and you can't learn all of the lessons at once. The ones that have been the hardest for you to learn will most likely stick around for you to deal with them at a later time when you've got all of your bearings. Don't be hard on yourself. Always check in and ask yourself why you're being triggered by something, and if you believe you already learned the lesson being presented to you, if it's truly the same lesson or a different one that appears to be the same on the surface, you're doing great. Until next week, all of my best and highest vibrations to you.
