In reading a Facebook private message sent by an old man-friend, I was extremely tempted to judge his words. While I’ve moved past what we had 30-plus years ago, he continues to bring up detailed summaries which I would rather not contemplate. I tell myself that I have better things to think about. This implies that he does not. That is a judgment. Every thought I’ve had about this communication feels unnecessary. As I sat and contemplated his words and my reactions, I realize that it simply is what it is. There is no reason for me to think about it as good or bad; it just is. Once again, I turn to the ancient Toltec wisdom as interpreted by Don Miguel Ruiz in "The Four Agreements": I will not make assumptions, and I will not take anything personally. I'm grateful to be learning to rely on divine Mind and release the circular thoughts of mortal mind!
“It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established.” Mary Baker Eddy - Science and Health Page 467:9-13
