When we travel down the road of
indignation, self-righteousness, fear, hateful
and/or angry words and thoughts we invariably find ourselves embracing morbid reflection, leaving us drinking from a
cup filled with spiritual distress. Few situations
in life are ever strictly black and white. When we condemn out of hand we
attempt, but fail, to overwrite the truth that there is a little bit of
good in the worst of us and a little bit of bad in the best, no one is
without sin, none of us live life error free. Remember “Living life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning to play the instrument as we go along” naked, so cut them and yourself a little slack.
So when we find ourselves in morbid reflectionville, and we all do from time to time, we gently
turn around in prayer and head back out of town by recognizing the
Presence of God where the disharmony and negativity resides; asking in
meditation to be shown the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness and
love, saluting the unique Creative Life Force residing in each of us.
It would be easy to end here, but an additional point needs to be made. We can and in truth must salute the Divine within all, but this does not mean we must continue to associate with or place ourselves in a position to be harmed or fail to stand for our beliefs. Our heartfelt hope and desire is that all will grow spiritually, embracing a path of enlightenment, peace and ethical living, unfortunately not everyone will and the truth of change and growth is the desire must come from within. So release them with love and remember the old Scottish (James Kelly) proverb: “He that deceives me once; shame fall him; if he deceives me twice, shame fall me.” So trust in God, but cut the cards.
