Strategy for Responding to Confrontation or Argument

You Have Chosen to Remember: A Journey from Perception to Knowledge, Peace of Mind and Joy by James Blanchard Cisneros.

When your baby or young child cries, what is he or she asking for? What do you usually offer? What is the result of your behavior toward your child? Do you not offer your child comfort and love? Does your child not respond by becoming calm, feeling comforted, smiling, laughing and continuing his or her play? Can you not see that this result is absolutely possible with all your brothers and sisters if you offer love and comfort instead of confrontation and defense? My brother and sister, this offer of love and comfort is the Godself's answer any time you perceive, regardless of it's manifestation, a brother or sister attacking you. Thus, if you choose the Godself's way of reacting to a brother or sister's perceived attack, you will create a safe place where two or more individuals with different points of view can come together. In other words, they can come together in a place where people agree to speak and listen with an open mind, as non-judgmentally as possible, so that all points of view can be discussed, heard, understood and respected. In order to create this place, try the following five steps:

1) Be quiet. Understand that the ego-self will try to answer first by attacking and defending. The less insane person in any argument takes control of it by being quiet.

2) Bring your thoughts into your Godself. Understand that your brother or sister is simply asking for love in the best way he or she knows how in the moment.

3) Send your brother or sister peaceful and loving thoughts. Surround yourself and them with light and invite God to enter the situation.

4) Listen non-judgmentally to whatever your brother or sister believes he or she needs to express. Give them the time they need.

5) Go to your Godself and ask it how you should deal with the situation, what you should say, and when and how you should say it.

Understand that there are those who are so invested in the ego's thought system that they believe that if you do not get physically upset, shout and argue with them, you do not really care about them or love them. Sit quietly for a moment and understand what this says about those individuals. Imagine how lost and confused they must feel. They equate love with being physically upset, shouting, arguing and regret. But do not judge them, for they simply have bought the ego's fairy tale as true. My friend, only small children believe fairy tales are true. Thus, if you encounter such beings, simply offer them even more comfort and love, and one day they will realize that comfort and love is the only sane response to comfort and love.
