Making Assumptions

Whenever you feel something is not quite right, go deeper to see what it may be. One such Awareness is that of making assumptions about another person without checking in with that person if what you are assuming is correct.

All we have to do is ask. Based on our past experiences, we assume that what a person is saying or doing is true; it really has to do with our past experiences. We project illusions, desires and assumptions onto a person and they do the same with us.

Be clear about our assumptions and if we are projecting an illusion or a false assumption onto another. Once we realize we are doing this, we can take personal responsibility and release the old assumptions based on history, and then see with New Eyes in Innocence and Love.

When we pause to question our assumptions, we create space for understanding rather than misunderstanding. Assumptions often feel automatic, but they are habits of thought that can be gently interrupted.

By slowing down and becoming curious instead of reactive, we allow truth to surface naturally. This simple pause can transform tension into connection and confusion into clarity.

Choosing to communicate openly invites authenticity into our relationships. When we ask instead of assume, we honor both ourselves and the other person.

This practice builds trust, deepens compassion, and keeps our hearts open rather than guarded. Over time, releasing assumptions becomes an act of self-liberation—freeing us to experience others as they truly are, moment by moment.
