The Most Precious Gift of Life

The Most Precious Gift of Life

Neutral observation is the cosmic loophole which frees us from the chain reaction of cause and effect that echoes through generations. Turning the other cheek is the spiritual way to stop evil in its tracks. If you return a blow with a blow there will undoubtedly be yet another blow soon to follow. Imagine thousands of these events occurring on and on. Not hard to do as we are immersed in this very circumstance.

How mortally offended we get over the smallest affront to our sense of self importance! See without motion; make it a cultivated habit to wait. Often we will be convinced that action is immediately necessary, but this is rarely the case. Perhaps in an emergency quickness is needed, otherwise the only hurry is a self-imposed one. Many problems will instantly dissolve when they are not created in the first place.

Hear what the other is saying from their perspective without projecting preconceived judgments. You will make many friends by listening with an open mind. It is a kind of violence to seize upon another’s words/world and try to force it into your own. The Universe has infinite space for any possibility to occur. If something is expressed, it had to have prior existence in the ether in order to be revealed.

We take things too seriously down here on Earth. Tension creeps in and we forget to laugh. Tricksters breach our trust and then it becomes difficult to trust again. It is up to a strong heart and an aware consciousness to understand these idiosyncrasies and continue to love. Vulnerability is possible only in naivety. If we know that a particular behavior is an inherent part of the game we can not be hurt by it.

We are all children of God; it couldn’t be otherwise. Any who declare exclusivity are delusional. It is like siblings constantly fighting over whom daddy or mommy likes best. Each child sees their parents differently and it stands to reason that there will be as many perceptions of God as there are people on the planet. We may sometimes feel frustrated but already have the most precious gift of life.
