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 in prayer and meditation 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 may seem high, the choice is simple: God or
indignation. Choose wisely.
