In Unity We Are
Looking past the surface.
Somewhere along the line, I became a very judgemental and critical person and more often than not I have (to my shame...) judged many books by their covers.
I didn't do this as a child. I always saw the light and goodness within everyone I met. I felt everyones pain. As I grew up I continued to see everyones goodness. But as I turned into a young man, people who I saw the good in turned out to be people who didn't care, people who had alterior motives and who dumped on me from a great height. I think what happened was, that over the years as this happened more and more, (and I am not putting all the blame on them, I accept my fair share of the responsibility), I came to a way of judging others, because "I knew what people are like."
I have now started working on NOT judging others.In the past, seeing everyone with light inside of them, I did indeed get my fingers burnt countless times. But I now realise that A) I have my share of responsibilty, B) love is unconditional and C) I am no saint by any stretch of the imagination, so what right do I have to judge? EVERYONE on this Earth, all the way from Lightworkers, to self confessed satanists, have a soul, a spark of God/Godess within. Sadly, not everyone can take what life has thrown at them and they turn angry, bitter and resentful. All three of those negative qualities I have, at times in my life, indulged in. So 1) I have no right judging them, and 2) I know how it feels to be angry, bitter and resentful. And from my own experiences of those mind-sets I know those people are so deeply and infinitely unhappy. That is why they need our unconditional love.
Only today, sat on a bus, a man got on and sat at the front. Straight away my negative mind kicked in with very judgemental and critical thoughts about him. But I thought I'd do a little experiment to prove a point to myself. So what I did was to consciously scrap all negative judgement and criticism and view him through my heart. Where my initial "mind judgement" said "horrible dodgy man," my heart saw a very unhappy and vulnerable child of God.
To love everyone unconditionally does not have to mean getting hurt or stabbed in the back, that is where boundaries come in. We all, each and every one of us have unlimited and infinite unconditional love inside of us. So we have no excuse; we have enough for everyone.
