"If (his/her) past were your past, (his/her) pain your pain, (his/her) level of consciousness your level of consciousness, you would think and act exactly as (he/she) does. With this realization comes forgiveness, compassion, peace."

"If (his/her) past were your past, (his/her) pain your pain, (his/her) level of consciousness your level of consciousness, you would think and act exactly as (he/she) does. With this realization comes forgiveness, compassion, peace." I needed that today thanks. Seem to be running into a lot of morons lately sponsored by Houghtons wine or some such, lots of people intent on giving others 'put downs'. I try not to judge the judging but it happens. Just a note here to wish you all a Merry Christmas (or happy holiday if you prefer), I've been posting on herr for a year now am definately more at peace than back then but wish I could be less reactive to morons. Split mind hey? Enjoy the holidays!!!! |

"Morons" are the Universe's gift to you. They are your practice. Without them you might never grow out of your ego. A wise man once said "bless those that curse and persecute you...do good to those that hate you". He was pointing to the opportunity they afford us to stay Present under the stress of the "moronic" behavior they offer, strengthening our ability to stay Present, even while diminishing our egoic reaction thereby. To the "morons" they just might experience Love for the first time, and it could even inspire one or two to find such "strength" for themselves. In this way, Love might be multiplied in the world.
Merry Christmas to you and all...
