the Self in the other … (09/27/13)
Once we awaken to the raw Truth that every criticism of others is actually a recognition of our own failures past or present, then we will also awaken to the raw Truth that everyone we see is, quite literally, a part of ourselves; that everyone we know and everyone we meet: be they brother, sister, friend, enemy, mysterious stranger or comrade well-known, is — no matter what they do or don’t do, for us or for others — very well worthy of a Kindness warm & deep-seated & without condition.
And, once we remember this Truth, we will have no choice but to act accordingly … And it is in this time that we will finally begin to fulfill our true Destiny.
It is at this moment that we will finally begin to light up our world.
Amen … Let it be so.
(inspired by Harry Palmer)
