It occurred to me this morning as I was reading about the coming full moon eclipse, the US election, the angst and distrust in the human world, the fears of global calamity, that I was trained to pick out the flaws in reality and it was a big mis-step in understanding what Life is about.
My talented ferocious grandmother seemed to think she had the right to criticize her family and hurt them in service to her 'faith' and adherence to original sin. BS. If you can't see both sides of the extremes you are stuck. Comparison is not necessarily productive when we look at ourselves or others. Seeing flaws can be helpful if there is an insight or pathway toward improvement but to pick out what is wrong without a notion of movement toward release or growth will keep one trapped in negativity. We have been so arrogant toward our stations in life in the midst of human diversity and individuality that we think we get to choose who is good/bad, right/wrong, successful/failing and then act as the 'god' of acceptance. Whoa. Not working.
If those people over there want to hate and control and grab for themselves can we gracefully step back, leave them in their own world and create a better one with our comrades? Can the world still contain individual pockets of independent specialty? Can we congratulate instead of judging? Are our instincts and insights going to open to greater ideals and methods and abilities for comfort, security and sharing of appreciation? We should have grown up by now.
Woops, judgement isn't working. If unity is the next consciousness development and compassion can hep us fix the inequalities and grow beyond fear we need to drop the assumption that we are helpless in the light of perfection and believe we can add to the greatness of human wellness and satisfaction. Besides the differences we all seem to be experiencing, can we understand that each has his/her/their own destiny and expression and that possibilities are unlimited for us within the parameters of physical materialization? This is the new faith: it is fair, it is up to us, we have guidance on unlimited levels, we can choose, and we are GOOD. Being is benevolent. Dreams of well being are attainable without conflict.
Yes! Let's go there. All Love.
Outlook!
