Master or Karma ...

"All beings are vast multidimensional masters.  They may be

exploring divinity or limitation, but they are masters nonetheless."

Ariel Tachi-ren

Two business men walk by a homeless person, each having a different response.  The first suited man says, "Humph, I wonder what he did to get Karma like sitting in filth."  The other suited gentleman states, "I was just admiring him for returning to this earth to spend his life generating compassion in others."

There is no need to judge the experiences of others as we have no idea what their original intention or passion that governed a choice.  If someone is in desperate need of help, it is not necessarily true that he or she has previously done something horrible.  Just as a socially supported guru may not have always had positive intentions.

In some respect, it is none of our business to be passing judgment.  We can be aware to decide if there is some way to help.  If not, let it be.  Sometimes, we need to be more mindful of ourselves, not others.

Masters, Nonetheless

                    

"All beings are vast multidimensional masters. They 

may be exploring divinity or limitation, but they are

masters nonetheless."

It is an inaccurate assumption that Masters in the world would be walking around in robes or standing on street corners pontificating.  The word itself master suggests a person elevated above others.  There is no secret hand shake, no special code to enter, nor a special gathering of a secret society.

Could it be God has made all of us a Master and equal at the core?  It just might be our choices for life purpose that positions our status in our space.  The resistance to embrace the idea of being a Master stems from fear, ego, and lack of self-worthiness; while others perception of being a Master misguides them off course, and misleading those who would follow.

Two business men walked out of professional headquarters to find a man in rags sitting on the sidewalk with a blissful smile.  While the men walked by, the seeming to be pauper wished them a good day.  The two men shared their thoughts:  one thought the vagrant was disgusting while the other believed the man was a Master who had offered to return with the life purpose of triggering compassion in others.  Observation and higher thinking propels us away from judgment.

Exploring Masters

"All beings are vast multidimensional masters.

They may be exploring divinity or limitation, but

they are masters nonetheless."

Our culture would be so vibrantly different if we would recognize the master within each of us.      We are all born with a specialty supplied with gifts and tools.  As we inwardly grow our thoughts and expertise, we are focused upon contributing to the world.  Healthy competition taking the form of encouragement and sharing information for the sake of discovery would propel seekers at a more rapid pace.  Judgment often is a sign of jealousy, a lack of self-worth, and unclaimed destiny.

As unique human beings, we would not feel threatened by others if we were supported by praise and curiosity.  There would be no motivation to interfere in the growth of others.  With compassion and an open heart, honoring the work of another fellow human rekindles our joy in returning to our own creative projects.

As we follow our individual pathways, there is no need for judgment ... just an awareness of life unfolding.  When we pit our selves one against the other we are distracted from our own progress.  If passion fills our soul with imagination, drive, and dedication to creation, there is no reason to be threatened by the passion of others.   Honoring the gifts we see in each other would move our culture closer to a life of peace and loving kindness.
