It Seems That The Truth Is Needed

Boredom Or Discontent Is Useful To Me When I Acknowledge It And See Clearly My Assumption That There's Something Else I Would Rather Be Doing. In This Way Boredom Can Act As An Invitation To Freedom By Opening Me To New Options And Thoughts. For Example, If I Can't Change The Activity, Can I Look At It More Honestly?

I Sometimes React To Making A Mistake As If I Have Betrayed Myself. My Fear Of Making A Mistake Seems To Be Based On The Hidden Assumption That I Am Potentially Perfect And That If I Can Just Be Very Careful I Will Not Fall From Heaven. But A 'mistake' Is A Declaration Of The Way I Am, A Jolt To The Way I Intend, A Reminder I Am Not Dealing With The Facts. When I Have Listened To My Mistakes I Have Grown.

If A Man Takes Off His Sunglasses I Can Hear Him Better.

You're Wrong Means That I Don't Understand You, I'm Not Seeing What You're Seeing- And I'm Not Seeing All Of You There Is To See. But There Is Nothing Wrong With You. You Are What You Need To Be, Doing What You Need To Be Doing, And Although I May Take Steps To Protect Myself Of Others, I Do Not Know All And Therefore Am Literally Inadequate To Judge.

Within Me Is The Potential To Commit Every Evil Act I See Being Committed By Other Men, And Unless I Feel This Potential, I Can At Any Moment Be Controlled By These Same Urges. I Am Free From These Urges Only If I Recognize When I Am Feeling Them, And While Feeling Them And Acknowledging Them To Be Me, Choose Not To Follow Them. Only In This Way Can I Begin To Regain The Disowned Parts Of Me. And Only In This Way Can I Know What It Is I Am Criticizing In Others.
