Experiential mirroring: creating a foundation for compassion.
Putting the rocky road into perspective.
| p311 | There is no need to judge another being as he falters in his attempts to grasp the clues he has left in his own path. You may be able to see quite clearly what is obvious to you—from your perspective. Yet, from the perspective of the one on his knees, the clue was not visible. Not yet. But after a sufficient number of headlong spills into the mud, the clue emerges. You know. You’ve been there. We have all been there. For that is the nature of the journey. And as you reach out to offer a helping hand to another being and have it rejected, and as your words of newfound wisdom fall on deaf ears by those who need them most, you’ll remember. For you’ve been there. And you’ll wonder how you could have been so blind, when the clues were right there, in full view, all along. Yet you know that the seeker will not see what he has come to see until the appointed moment for that particular set of eyes to open. You know, because you’ve been there. |
