Have you ever called someone multiple times, left multiple messages, and never even got a single call back from them? I most certainly have, especially lately it seems. While I have struggled quite a bit with trying to understand and figure out why each time it’s happened, my spiritual teacher has said this is totally due to my spiritual vibration. But before I go into what she means by this, let me first take a few steps back and explain something.
Prior to 2012, before I even began turning my entire will and life over to my Higher Power, I had plenty of friends. And rarely were any of my phone calls not returned from them or anyone for that matter. I was also regularly being invited more than not to parties, social get-togethers, random game nights, and so much more.
So what’s different between the person I am now and the person I was back then? Well, the truth of the matter is that back then I used to gossip, judge, constantly say sexual innuendos, was promiscuous, make jokes at other people’s expenses, and be extremely manipulative in most of my day-to-day behaviors. And for some reason, the majority of the people I hung out with during those periods of my life seemed to like much of that about me.
Yet when I finally started on a much healthier spiritual path and began removing all of these toxic behaviors, one by one I started seeing most of those people drop out of my life. I started getting those unreturned phone calls. I started having plenty of evenings with nothing to do because my phone wasn’t ringing. It was also then I began hearing of people talking about me behind my back saying I was fake, that I thought I was better than everyone else, and that I placed myself on a pedestal. And sadly, I was none of those things. I was just trying to be a better and much healthier spiritual person, which I still am these days as well.
But for whatever the reason, the majority of the people I meet nowadays don’t seem to like this. They don’t seem to like my personality and they usually find me threatening on some level, even though I do my absolute best to accept each and every one of them just as they are.
Thus this brings me back to what my spiritual teacher has been saying about why my phone calls are not being returned. She says that the greater one’s spiritual vibration is (i.e., the more one is not regularly engaging in low vibrational behaviors such as gossip or judging for example), the less those people who are still regularly doing those behaviors are going to want to be around them.
So maybe this really is the reason why I’ve seen plenty of my phone calls not get returned lately?
Regardless of whether this is actually true or not, I’m a good guy with a good heart and I really do try my best to love everyone unconditionally. But I don’t like to make fun of people anymore, especially when it comes at someone else’s expense and I definitely detest gossip and harsh judgments about others. And most importantly, I also am doing everything I can to remain free of all addictions in life.
So if my phone calls are going unanswered because of this, because of this change in my spiritual vibration, so be it. The fact is I actually like who I am today far better than who I used to be. And if the sacrifice for being this way is having many unreturned phone calls these days, then I will accept that and continue to remain grateful to my Higher Power for each of those who do choose to call me back…
Peace, love, light, and joy,
