"Think
of mental silence as a perfect teacher." VH
You
have conscientiousness.
Let it be known to you that in
Righteousness there is no cruelty or domineering; there is large toleration.

What is the meaning of life? Please understand.
This question is asked out of anxiety, which prevents your understanding. But
let’s see. As long as you desire life to have a meaning based on conditioned
ideas, meaning eludes you. All attempts based on untrue ideas must produce
false meanings, which fall apart. You can answer your own question with earnest
exploration. Willingly drop all frantic efforts to give meaning to life. Let
the emptiness which is there be there, and you will understand. VH
“Love created me like itself” is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. You who were created by love like itself can hold no
grievances and know your Self. To hold a grievance is to
forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to let
the ego rule your mind. Holding grievances seems to
split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you think you
have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself.
It
is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own image,
as it is certain that God created them like Himself, and defined them as part
of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer
guilt, as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget
who they are, as it is certain that those who forgive will remember. ACIM Lessons 67 & 68
Both judging and comparing interrupt the
voice of Spirit. When you judge and compare, your attention is outside of
yourself, and you are not home to receive what Spirit wants to give to you.
When you come from a place of judging or comparing, you are scanning to see how
you fit in. Are you ahead or behind, better than or worse than? You're looking
outward, looking to the world to tell you whether or not you're okay and how
you measure up.
However, when you are aware of your oneness with Spirit, you understand that
you are whole and complete just the way you are. This understanding allows you
to be inspired by others without discounting who you are. When you bring your
attention away from the world and turn within, fear and scarcity gradually
dissolve as love and abundance expand within you.
Judging and comparing is a useful red flag that communicates you've drifted
into the abyss of fear and scarcity.
Next time you notice you are diminishing yourself or others, shift the lens you
are looking through so you can once again see through the eyes of love, compassion
and abundance.

Listen for that
silent nature within you ever whispering of things divine and eternal.
Within your own self is your salvation.
Keep this truth uppermost:
"More than thou canst give
to Truth will she on thee confer."
