Open the Field

"Focus on faith and grow your roots strong and deep

so no one can make you believe in something that is

not good for your soul."

Molly Friedenfield

The stream of the collective unconsciousness continues to run through me like a current moving down a stream.  It is not a threatening experience, but my eyes have been jammed open.  I respect diversity, but the collective is showing me the depth of deviation out in our world.

Once I moved though shock, I began to perceive how often I considered others to be abnormal until I followed the history of the culture or the storyline of the individual.  The lesson at first vague became clear as the fresh idea of having no opinion settled in.  In a broad sense, there is no reason for me to delve into a person's roots except to learn and understand.

Ultimately, to place judgment aside, there is no other reason to be present except to listen.  With understanding, there is still no reason for opinion.  Respect erases motivation to change others, and opens the field for heartfelt communication.    To be present, to listen, and to understand form the roots of peace.
