My First Wisdom Dialogues Session With Hope Johnson

Today I had my first Wisdom Dialogues session with Hope Johnson.
She said suffering is like the dying of the ego and that’s where the transformation takes place because that is when you choose love especially in those moments. She said that when we take something personally we’re almost asking for the same experiences because it’s a trigger.
I said, “See, that’s where I’m confused because I’ve been trying to get rid of the illusion of the body and then I find myself taking things personally. I have found myself attracting more body related things and I don’t understand why since that’s the thing I’m trying to see past. Instead, I keep getting these triggers.”
She just laughed off my problem and reminded me that problems don’t exist and that I am associating myself with the very thing that’s trying to get rid of the body illusion. I also think I’ve been attracting so many body related things because the Universe is presenting me with constant opportunities to choose love. And that’s what she also mentioned–that I get to choose, and that when I come across these lessons I have to simply recognize the truth.
“There’s nothing you need to do or be,” she said, “you just need to relax into the truth.”
Then she talked about essential oils, meditation, yoga, and all of the stuff in that category and said that those things are also part of the illusion, but are there to keep our attention on the truth. They are things that help us remember.
“If you see someone less than the source,” she said, “then you’re only going to manifest more of that.”
