[Paul Selig] Book of Truth 4 (Claim your Freedom)
Your ideas of who people are, are always false. They are just your ideas and they are prescriptions you hold based on your history.
Your ideas of who people are, are always false. They are just your ideas and they are prescriptions you hold based on your history.
You have all become so invested in looking at yourselves, deciding why you are the way you are and what you must do to correct what you perceive to be a problem, that you invest in all of the data from history that would support a kind of self-reflection that is ultimately a reinforcement of the personality and egoic structure.
Now “the eyes of Christ” has been a teaching we have used, and it is a perfect teaching. When you witness with the eyes of the Christ, you see all things as they truly are, and that is Divine.
The continent you live in has an expression: We will not tell the truth because if we tell the truth we will be fearful. We will be seen for what we are or we will be exposed, and hunted, or burned, or at least ignored, because who wants to hear the truth anyway?
If you’ve excluded God from the physical realm and placed it upon a cloud somewhere unreachable, you have affirmed separation. But when God is the tree, and the rug beneath your feet, and the man you see across the way, and in all those people over there that don’t do what you want, you will begin to understand truth.
As long as we don’t hurt each other, who cares what ‘beliefs’ we have religious, political, moral, or whatever. Something we should be able to universally agree upon. It matters not, as long as we are kind, caring, harmless. What matters to me about you, is not really what you think or believe, what religion you belong to, or if you’re an atheist, but how you conduct yourself. Everyone can understand the healing and good that come from kindness, compassion, caring, giving, harmlessness. Those are the virtues of Unselfish Love – the things that really matter.
