When you meet someone you must remember that all meetings can be special encounters. As you see others you may see yourself. As you treat them you treat yourself. As you think of them you will think of yourself. For in him you will find or lose yourself. What does this mean you ask?
Well it simply means that the key to life is other people. “To love another person is see the face of God” because we are all made in his image.
In every relationship we teach or demonstrate love or fear. As we demonstrate love towards each other we learn that are lovable and learn to love more deeply.
As we demonstrate fear or negativity we learn self condemnation and fear of life.
Since no thought are neutral then we know that they all have an effect on our lives - taking us more deeper into heaven or hell.
Forgiveness is peace of mind - a change from thoughts of fear to love - and selective remembering to focus on love and let the rest go.
Ego is capable of suspiciousness and at worst viciousness.
The spirit must deliver us from the temptation to judge and find fault because that is not what real love is all about. We must ask the spirit to reveal to us the innocence of others so we can choose to focus on their good points instead of their errors.
Let’s look at judging. Is it better to be happy or right. Even if we are right then that is all we need to know. Shaking a finger at someone doesn’t help them to change. Treating a person with forgiveness and passion will get a better response. Most of us know when we’re wrong and at that point you don’t need to attack. What person said or did is not really what they are. When a person acts unloving then they have forgotten who they are.
Let’s take the Disney film “Pollyanna” starring Haley Mills. She was a good example on focusing on the person really is. She chose not to see their nastiness. Her perception extended to what she already knew about humans. She knew love and she evoked their love into expression. She exercised forgiveness.
