What would you do?

[3DMonkey]

I would look the person requesting help directly in the eyes.
Then I would know what to do.

yeah right...

What do you mean?

3DM - I'm not sure what anyone else meant by the quoted text, but I did, in fact (and do on many occasions) look someone in the eye so I'll know what to do/say/feel, or how to understand etc. But there is something else that goes on, not just the looking in the eyes, but also a sort of spiritual stepping back that I've been trying to figure out how to explain in written words. So far, however, I've felt totally inept at finding the words.

In the example I gave, I looked the young woman in the eye when we were discussing being homeless, how it happens, what it means, what we learn from it etc, and all the while I was "stepping back" spiritually to get guidance on how to handle the situation, which is why I did what I did.

Hope that helps.

I don't think it is possible to put the true spirit into words. When we try, it becomes the mind by default. The spirit remains the spirit. I think my spirit understands what your spirit is "saying".
