Resistance to Receiving Love

by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
Have you ever had the experience of sharing your kindness with someone - just for the joy of it with no intent to control - and the other person didn't receive it as kindness? Just because we offer love or kindness doesn't mean that the other person will receive it.

Resistance: The Block to the Presence of Spirit

by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
Len grew up in a typical family with a controlling mother and a passive, absent father. Not wanting to be weak and dominated like his father, Len chose a different path - resistance. Resisting being controlled by anyone became Len's primary motivation. No one was going to take advantage of him. No one was going to hurt him. He shut down, closed his heart, and became a very lonely adolescent. I started to work with Len because his third marriag ...
