Seeing the Highest Possibility in Others
It is always best to assume the highest
possibility within others. If you can not see the possibility of
Enlightenment in another, how will you see it within your self? If
you give up on the possibility of Enlightenment in a single being,
then you will be out of tune with your highest possibility.
If you
have a limited notion of Enlightenment, that it is some rarity, only
expressed somewhere in a cave in the Himalayas, or sometime in a past
golden age, or in someone that is completely foreign to you, then
Enlightenment shall forever remain a stranger to you. This is why
all Masters see Enlightenment inside everyone and everything.
They
may claim “I am Enlightened, you are not”, but by saying so they
are just using relative truth to remind the whole of its ability to
express itself more completely, independently and blissfully. The
ultimate truth is that Enlightenment is everywhere shining through
everything whether it is expressly “realized” it or not.
It is
up to you to decide whether you want to live a life based on relative
truth and fall into the game of duality, or live a life based on
ultimate truth and stretch yourself to fulfill your infinite
possibility.
This is why it is stressed not to judge another even if
you have the slightest suspicion that they may be Enlightened. It is
not that you are harming them by your limited view, rather you are
deeply limiting your own consciousness, since the Realized soul is
filled with the bliss of the universe—all the atoms and planets of
the cosmos reverberate with his/her surrendered presence—and by
judging them with your limited perception, you are judging the cosmos
and cutting yourself off from the very core of who you are.
Doubting
others is a loosing game for everyone, I trust that you are an
Enlightened soul, beautiful and filled within infinite worth, a child
of God, a spark of the infinite flame of consciousness, a wave that
is one with the ocean of eternal bliss.
What of the evil doers you
may say, the unconscious ones expressing all forms of ignorance and
injustice, or just the regular Joe caught in a cycle of delusion?
Perhaps they are a little confused, then let me take the
responsibility to remind them of their self-effulgent grander, bliss,
intelligence and compassion! If they remembered just a small portion
of their divine heritage, of the eternal realm of causeless bliss
that is their very home, of the countless reflections of God that are
none other then their divine brothers and sisters, then they shall
naturally drop their confusion.
Integrity is seeing the Self within
all. Authenticity is living in tune with the Self within all.
Enriching others is inspiring one and all to realize the highest
truth within. OM
