Wishing to get even, taking revenge,
to balance the scales, to repay in kind are natural human sentiments, a wild
justice, all manifestations of living on the secular basis. Conversely, Living
on the Spiritual Basis we have learned that “hatred ceases not with hatred.”
Though the crimes and acts committed may be horrendous, even beyond the pale,
we must take a higher road mentally or we will remain mired in limitation. To
be clear: those who have transgressed society's laws and been found culpable
should suffer the punishment society has decreed, the principle though of
condemning the act, not the actor paramount if we are to remain free.
Our course is to turn to a Power
Greater Than Ourselves, and though the guilty may have committed acts seemingly
unforgivable, we must give them over root and branch, otherwise we suffer along
with the guilty. Remember it takes two to make a spiritual prisoner, the guilty
and the jailer and is not the jailer as surely in prison as the guilty? The
jailer actually having it worse than the prisoner, since they understand they can
leave the prison while the guilty are trapped until they become willing, while the jailer chooses to return of their own free will day after day,
perpetuating resentment, and condemnation in their heart, choosing morbid
reflection over spiritual freedom. Prison or freedom, standing in the light or cowering in the dark, limitation
or unlimited growth, the choice is always ours. “Let there be peace, and let
it begin with me.”
