Wishing to get even, to take
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 teaches us 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 to be free. To be clear:
those who have transgressed society's laws and been found culpable should
suffer the punishments stipulated, the principle though of condemning the act,
not the actor paramount if we are to be free of the bondage of self and
limitation thinking.
Our course then 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 for 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 having
it worse since 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.”
