When we react to negativity directed at us, is like throwing a boulder in the emotional stream of our consciousness - it creates turbulence. If we can remain still, open or expand our awareness to watch the negativity, without reacting, then the negativity becomes like dirty water in a stream flowing past. Once this happens, we can again see clearly, and act rather than react. When we don't react, the full flow of Divine Presence can manifest in a situation - sometimes through us, at other times we are witnesses to it. When we witness in stillness, we help manifest whatever divine intent is meant to be.
