Everyone is always right
...and sometimes it sucks.
There are a few aphorisms my father has repeated over and over throughout my childhood and adolescence that continue to perpetually loop back to the front of my mind as an adult.
1. Everyone is always right.
2. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
3. Life will teach you the same lessons over and over until you learn them.
The second Andy-ism has helped me cut cords with people throughout my life for various reasons without becoming a pawn to “toxic loyalty” or “codependent partnerships”. We moved around a lot so I got used to putting things down and starting over, trust is earned. A point was always made to look for the truth in everyone, not just the good, and read the energy of how they do/say things.
“The power is in the how,” he’d say. As much of an arrogant, militant, analytical-asshole my father is, he can give solid Dad advice on occasion.
Life is ruled by intention.
As true Earthlings on a journey towards the next era in hue-man evolution I have applied these truths in all aspects of my ever shifting, liquid life.
True human beings are all angular versions of the self. Every experience has something to do with you, the reflective reality. Your internal family system has been spliced and sprinkled amongst your timeline. If you pay attention, it’s loud, powerful and oh so obvious.
It’s your world, we are all just living in it.
When we zoom out from a third person perspective, without egoistic intelligence interfering, we can see how every choice is correct, per the person who has made said choice. Their pleasure centers, their conscious filters, their programmed fear/love template, etc. is always right. Their darkness opposes your light, vice versa. It’s the yin/yang playing out in front of your eyes.
There is no use in analyzing the choices of others, it was always right for them. This is especially hard for parents dealing with their children’s choices. (As a mother to be, this makes me a smidge nervous as well but hey, dems the brakes.) The results of said choices will, like clockwork, place the decider where he/she/they/them deserves to be. Some souls need more harsh lessons in life than others. I know, I am one of those souls. I was the rebellious-crass-willful-bossy daughter that got her shit handed to her most days and forced to eat it, twice on Sundays.
Life isn’t fair…but at the same time, it totally is.
The Law of Karma will teach you one way or another, even if it takes lifetimes.
It’s hard out here for an ancient. /s
The barefoot path to self-mastery is sporadically laced with shards of glass and glitter. Learn to laugh about it.
“Dead seriousness. Without laughter, the rough and rocky places on the path might be too painful to bear. Humor not only lightens your load, it also broadens your perspective. To be deadly serious is to suffer tunnel vision. To be able to laugh at yourself clears the vision.”
― George Leonard, Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment
I intentionally walk my path in support of those who want their intentional power to shift their reality, those who claim their natural Earthling current.
We are all angles of truth; an orchestral performance in the midst of composition.
Supporting those we love in the choices they make, always expressing our truth without judgement, will only allow them to grow and show us more angles within ourselves. Compassion, joy and intention are key factors in this conscious elevation.
Everyone is always right?
Now, whenever I bring this up around a group of people there is always an existential argument that can be made from the moral-highground perspective. I’ve found the small minded to be somewhat put off by this statement and I love that because they are correct in their thoughts about this philosophy. The push back is usually akin to a few examples that are morally horrible e.g. choosing to commit murder is wrong, lying is wrong, cheating on a spouse is wrong, etc.
I hold the perspective that, for an extreme example, Jeffrey Dhamer was right in what he held in his chosen perspective. His actions were the effect of how his mind saw the “right” thing, the “feel-good” thing. We don’t have to like it, but to refuse to understand it may be the reason he existed in the first place.
The decisive power hidden in the crevices of our minds is usually buried under powerlessness, parental programming and emotional wounding engrained within our traumatized inner children.
There are many angles to consider here but the application of the philosophy that “everyone is right” in the day-to-day reality can heal the divisiveness that breaks the Peach Power away from the collective human race.
We are all correct. If we believe it, it’s real. If we choose it, it will show up in our reality in its purest form, reflecting our intentions (or limitations) back to us.
We are all destined and time-stamped characters in this Earth story, so much more than a surname, account number or a blah-blah-blah.com, we are the source of energetic power itself. The arc of light in a vortex.
You are always correct, and sometimes it sucks.
But…who am I to say?
Just another version of you?

Amazing. I was just writing down notes on this last night. I'll try to share soon, but it's very similar. This theater is for all and all have free will, equal rights that don't necessarily protect you from getting eaten or hurt! I'm pretty sure we make contracts before arriving and seek to fulfill them. I've been thinking about all of this a lot lately. Your dad sounds wise despite his faults. I like the I-Ching for a steady life path through the inevitable ups and downs, ebbs and flows. It's nature. There ain't no escape. Might as well go with it. Much love!!
And, as to child rearing, I found a book from a friend before my children were born that was instrumental in helping me keep peace, love, good flow, and structure that didn't contradict human nature and what a child is expecting to find once popped out into this world. It's called "The Continuum Concept." Some lady, a model no less, went on a journey with some european dudes to south america looking for diamonds and such. They ended up spending a lot of time in native villages back in the sixties or seventies. In those villages she saw none of the strife that our modern "lives" have in regards to childrearing, the terrible two's and all such other nonsense. It's amazing. Congratulations on the journey to motherhood. It's interesting to meet those who come! Cheers.
