12 people come together in a dark room. They are encouraged to open up with each other, and in the privacy of the darkness they do in spades. After a couple of hours they leave the dark place and for the first time have a close look at each other. Sheepishly they have to admit that they never would have pictured the other that way. In some cases, they wouldn’t have even opened up to the other based on the look in the first place.
If you associate prejudices with people of different races, age groups or professions, then that’s your problem. We are all One, we are just conditioned differently and live a different chapter in the overall theater production. Spirituality is really a curriculum in proper perception and mind training. Of course we are biased just like everyone, but we have learnt to look twice, and we have a perception of the energy of people and places.
Do me a favor when you hang out with your brother today; take another look!
