You
can have either your Spiritual demonstration or your indignation, but you
cannot have both. We cannot condemn anyone and salute
the spark of Divine simultaneously. We will never progress far on the path of Living
on the Spiritual Basis if we harbor resentment and condemnation for any reason,
real or imagined, toward anyone or anything. By whatever measure we limit or
subjectively dismiss anything or anyone as being beyond healing or redemption,
we distance ourselves from the freedom
we crave.
To be able to see our brothers and
sisters clearly, we must first address our own shortcomings and clean up our
side of the street, only then can we truly be of service. Once we have done
this we see everything in a new light, the true light, the light of spiritual
awakening.
We all naturally have opinions and
viewpoints on all manner things, additionally some people we will welcome into
our lives, others not so much, and some for valid
reasons will be kept at a distance. The key is the steadfast refusal to engage
in self-righteousness and of becoming a spiritual imperialist, looking down on
anyone from some self-constructed moral hilltop. Remaining ever vigilant, when self-righteousness
creeps into our consciousness; and it will, wearing a variety of masks; we gently turn to God in prayer thanking
Him for our heightened awareness, asking the voice of the Miraculous to guide
us on the path of patience, tolerance, kindness, and love, allowing us to
remain right sized and right minded.
Having strongly held opinions and
viewpoints are never troublesome when filtered through Spiritual truth. The trouble
arises when we fail to employ this filter, for this filter is the key to
self-control, the bar against becoming self-righteous and manifesting deadly
spiritual pride. Though the price is high, the choice is simple: God or
indignation. Choose wisely.
