A friend recently went to a psychic who told him I was his "spirit guide". Since then, he and I have had some rather mind-opening discussions and I've become aware of intuitive insights like never before. I become aware of things he should know on his path.
Problem is as much as I know he needs to be aware of something, he doesn't seem to want to "get it". I guess he's not ready, but he's also very... uh.. confident. Thinks he already knows his path and can see his steps but is just "putting it on a backburner" until "he has time". Well I can tell he's really just afraid to take the steps he needs to, and when they appeared to me, I ended up so frustrated that he just refused to see that those steps need to be taken. He's not willing to accept my advice because he's so full if his own confidence, know what I mean? He insists he already "sees his steps" despite that he was the one that kept trying to force me to talk spirituality with him. Well, why would I keep offering viewpoints if he's too full of his own to listen to me? At the same time, when you're called to teach, can you just say "oh well, that's not working". I know my ego is just frustrated with his non willingness to listen yet.
Logically I know I can't walk his path for him nor is it my place to tell him what to do. I can't nor do I want to make him do this, even though I feel so strongly that he should. I feel like he's wasting time, and was personally irritated that he refused to take me seriously. How ridiculous is that of me?! How do I accept that giving him guidance means letting him take it as and when he's ready? How do you deal when something so obvious to you just isn't going to get through to your student? How do you deal when you know someone you're working with needs to take your advice but they're not ready? How do you wait until they process it and realize what you already see so clearly? Does it leave you frustrated? How do you let it go?
