5/16/07: Associations & Vibrations
Associate yourself with people who are wiser than you and you'll continually rise to meet their level. Associate with people who aren't, and you'll continually lower yourself to meet their level.
Be aware of who you associate yourself with on a regular basis. People will naturally and unconsciously bring out in us the energy that best aligns with theirs.
It is no secret that we each vibrate at different frequencies. An angry person vibrates at a different level than a peaceful person, for example.
Sometimes we find ourselves doing things with one person that we normally wouldn't do with others. We might gossip more, tell untruths or otherwise act against our principles. Or the opposite may be true; the other person may bring out the best in us, simply by their own state of vibration, of being.
There are those we allow to bring us down, consciously or unconsciously, and those we allow to lift us up. While we are ultimately in control of how we act and react with each person, it is of great benefit to be aware of the level of vibration others naturally bring out in us.
Associate yourself with others who are of the level of vibration you want to attain and you will naturally rise to meet them… and your Self.
