Let me not see myself as limited.

“ … man has two aspects of being: the servant aspect and the master aspect. When only the servant aspect is nourished and the master aspect is not, then the master aspect of his being longs to be master, and cannot be; and the whole conflict in life depends on that.” ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan, Bowl of Saki, 9-7-2024

“May I never unknow what I know about myself.” ~ Rev. Deb Berman, Instructor, OSLI Seminary

What do I know about myself that I don’t value to use as nourishment for my master aspect, thereby limiting myself?

I am still as God created me.

I am light. I am Love. I am eternal. I am gifted as a cell in the body of All That Is (God made manifest) thereby flowing in the Loving life-force of God. I have unlimited resources to be anything I can conceive of. And I know about myself that I want always to feel connection to all other cells in this Loving being.

Who is him in this lesson? Is it my humanness? Is it my brother/sister?

“He is what I am, and as I see him so I see myself.”

It is both, therefore how I see others is how I see myself.

Listening to a CAC podcast yesterday, Fr. Richard spoke of those with mature consciousness – that they see others subjectively. This was insightful for me as I could look at my years of public service, I saw others objectively.

The podcast was about St. Francis who is said to have interacted with animals, and things as people. Richard said, ‘he gave voice to them’, and that this was acknowledging their sacredness, as everything is ‘the body of Christ’.

Christ, another name for everything.

Everything is God made manifest, therefore unlimited. And, therefore, so am I.

Today is a new day. I ask to release all the false judgements of my loved one. Let me behold … Holy children of God we are. Let me not see myself or others as limited. To see myself, I strive to see others truthfully.
