See Beyond Mistakes

To be in the world and not of the world is about having a true perception of myself and my brothers.  The world's perception sees everything and everyone as sinful, and we in need to be in a defensive frame of mind, warding off retaliation or harm. 

Whereas true perception, "seeing" with the spiritual eye, or Christ Vision, is seeing beyond the body, beyond mistakes and connecting with the truth of everyone.  This is the practice; eventually and progressively, I begin to be in a world where I see my brothers (and myself) as innocent, their mistakes being just that, mistakes. I relate from my true Self to theirs.  Peace, joining, joy and defenselessness become my experience.  And the obvious result is to spread this joy.  This is healing.  This is being in the world and not of it.  This new focused and true perception is what takes us Home.
