I'm a sucker for angel cards that convey positive messages. (They've been my replacement for Tarot Cards) And one day I pulled up this card entitled, SEE ONLY LOVE.
SEE ONLY LOVE: "Look past the seeming errors, mistakes, and misunderstandings, and see only the love within each person (including yourself). Your resolute focus upon the love that underlies every situation brings about healing in undreamed-of ways."
The angels gave you this card as a reminder to see yourself, others, and every situation through their eyes. When you focus on love, anything that's unloving falls away. It's like turning on a light to diminish the previous darkness. Call upon the angels whenever you need help to elevate your vision to a more loving vantage point.

Now I know that was just a card, and not everyone uses this as a tool for meditation or prayer, however, the point of view makes perfect sense... in a perfect world, but I'm no fool. It can be difficult looking past someone's flaws. If let's say they roll their eyes at you, push you without saying "excuse me," greet everyone in a room except for you, and basically make it very obvious that they are being rude to you, how do you find the strength to extend kindness to them without feeling disrespected? Again, reread that card entitled, SEE ONLY LOVE.
What I understand is this. There's a reason for everything, right? Cause and effect? So whether or not you did something wrong, maybe the reason we catch bad vibes from people is because in our gut, we know that there is some form of pain, anger, resentment or jealousy coming from a specific person. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it has anything to do with you. Sometimes we have to remember this one simple strategy: DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL. Sometimes people carry a bad aura because they've been through very unfortunate events, and whether or not you contributed to their unhappiness has nothing to do with how they choose to act or behave. Some people are cold hearted while some are warm. Some people are rude while others are polite. And some people are extremely understanding while others are unforgiving. But it's not so much about "other" people. It's more about "you." How you choose to react to certain situations and people is a testimony to your true character.
Our intuition is our spiritual guide that is similar to a compass. It sees beyond what we cannot and directs us towards people, places and things that is for our divine benefit. So sometimes we may catch a bad vibe from a new person we meet because our intuition is warning us to keep away. If that is the case, do not entertain it by judging or feeding it more of your time and energy. I also notice that sometimes the people we seem not to like or connect with (even our enemies), are actually our best teachers. And the reason for it is that they're testing us on every level. They are testing our patience, our tolerance, our compassion, our social skills, etc. If someone wrongs you even just a tiny bit through body language, it is not to take personally. You must protect your inner light by refraining from joining the misery of gossiping, giving the cold shoulder and/or returning dirty looks. It's called having the wisdom to discern right from wrong, and being the bigger person by taking the higher road.
So yes, sometimes I have to check myself. I've met people that I have instantly clicked with, and yet I've also met people that I've wanted to keep away from. Now whether or not I have enough information to judge someone after knowing them a few minutes, a day, or even just a week, people are instinctual and we do feel when we belong somewhere and when we don't. We know when something flows and feels right, and we also know when something is not the best thing for us.
But then we ask ourselves, how do we befriend someone or marry someone that we thought we knew, and yet five years down the line we discover an ugly side to them that we never knew existed? How did we become fooled?
I believe that we always know when someone is good or bad for us, but sometimes we tend to ignore the signs and we choose to see the things that we want to see. The truth is that we have to trust our intuition, and if it steers us away from interacting with certain people than we should listen and keep our distance. Not be blinded by superficial reasons, being drawn to people and places for all the wrong reasons like glitz and glamour, filling the void of loneliness and/or to be accepted into some group or organization. Although it's not for us to judge and/or condemn, it's for us to realize that our life mission may not include everyone and everything in this world. There are some people whom we cross paths with to help us along our journey, and yet there are others who we should think twice about before getting involved in drama which might hold us back and/or even steer us off our intended destination. So when you have a funny feeling about a specific person, group of people or situation, look deep within your heart before feeling as if you don't like them. Meditate and focus on your own spiritual journey, and try to feel out why you meet the types of people you do in the first place. Are they there to teach you a hard lesson, or do they even hold any significance at all in your life? Maybe they do, maybe they don't, but the answer lies within. Eventually, if you learn to follow your intuition long enough, you'll know instinctively who to gravitate towards.
