Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Life is more than trying to change another into what we "think" is the truth; as we only become blinded by the glint refracted from the sword we yield and from the sweat dripping into our eyes. Be grateful for all that we experience and through gratitude more is revealed than what we "think" is the truth ♥ Let us look at this statement, "Man was made in the image of God." and what this points to. Man was made in the image of God. And this image is not only the reflection of what we "think" is a good man, a religious man, a diseased man, a broken man, a woman, a holy woman, a white man, a colored man, gay, or short, or tall, Spanish, Russian, Indian, and more... it is simply MAN. There it is, we told ourselves this and so we now realize that ANY iteration of man is an image of God. And so when we judge another we are not judging them, we are judging our “idea†of them and we are then in our own little bubble of constricted awareness. We are judging the limitations we currently believe in of them and herein is a self-perpetuating loop of illusion. As long as we continue to perceive them limitedly our judgments are justified and continue. And then we never truly have “eyes to see.†When we judge we then only experience the quality of that eternity that we are judging and not eternity itself. What I mean is that we may see a janitor and judge this person as being simple, or lazy, unholy, or whatever else, not realizing that they are fully enlightened and are now LIFE being the appearance of a janitor, or an image of God. And then instead of being fully open to this person and experiencing this eternal wisdom as a janitor we project our judgment of less onto the person and then experience less. No matter who stands before a mirror there is a reflection, yes? And so this reflection "is" the image of God. A mirror does not select and reflect only what we currently think is "good". No, a mirror reflects all things neutrally and equally and so all within the mirror "is" God. Reflection exists to reveal God; it is not some simple application of metals creating a neat scientific affect. Reflection is a miracle, as are all things in creation. Reflection is a gift to experience ourselves from unique perspectives as the one being many and so when we embrace all it reflects, we then embrace God. We have through our judgments created layers upon layers of what we "think" is right or wrong as we have evolved, and this is fine. Yet truly this is illusion; as all that remains between us “humans†is our thoughts that like dream-girders comprise the architecture of illusory separateness, and this is the "game". THIS is all love, and when we surrender what we "think" of this we realize more than a battle and we experience God in and as ALL. <3 There is only One, and when this One realizes itself by accepting all that it experiences equally the attention turns away from the battles born of the pieces and then there is no mirror, only One at peace <3 <3 It is our sphere of awareness that shapes eternity. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=162237566245 & ref=nf KnightCreate Your Badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
