I hear you SmT! I didn’t think my three sentences would get such a response but it was worth reading your words. Thanks for taking the time to write it.What I mean by one way or another NOT being any more or less special is - regardless of one’s level of spiritual awareness, we are all EXACTLY where we must be at this time (there is A Time For Everything). Judging others for where they are or for where they are not is an error in thinking, as we are told in many of the world’s philosophies. The Way is never the same for two people and THAT is what makes it special – that it is individualized.
I tell you, viewing all experiences through the eyes of love is NOT always an easy thing to do! But I make an effort to accept others for where they are on their individual spiritual journey and to NOT fix someone’s “way” because it's a fruitless endeavor. But when they are seeking a change and ask for help, look out buddy, I am in for the long haul! ha! There is nothing more fulfilling that watching someone shift their consciousness. What a joy! But, more acceptance and less judgment is what this world needs. THAT was the point I was trying to make – not sure if it came out that way!?!
