For Sunday, January 31st

Hello all, in a recent conversation about conflicts between people it was suggested that you imagine your Higher Self and the Higher Self of the one you're in some kind of conflict with. These two Higher Selves might pass each other on a pathway and merely nod to each other, or shake hands, or 'high five' as they pass. This imagery, it was suggested, can be useful in getting us out of our ego-based viewpoints and remind us, we're all here for the experience of physical life.

A quick image like that, practiced often, can be a kind of prayer toward Oneness, the intention being to reach beyond our perceived differences. If we can see from a perspective which is above our current divisions then perhaps we can act more effectively on the level of the divisions.

As Einstein said, "You cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it."

This Sunday may we sit for that Higher Level, that the connections which exist above be reflected here below.

Thank you,

Richard
