This brought a smile to my face, as I already have been doing this naturally for quite some time! As I go about my day, images of those who I'm blessed to meet will swim into my head, but they aren't images of them as they are now... They're images of them in a fully realized state, effortlessly and selflessly spreading light and joy quite simply because they know they can. These images pop up like beautiful paintings, the person smiling and radiant. And I think to myself - today, I'm doing what I can to help this person realize themselves.
Although I don't mean to speak for him, I think Paddy's point is: Don't get karmically involved. He uses the word "discipline" when related to radiating goodwill. To me, this is like shooting out the good intent straight as an arrow, without it being caught up in your own web of suffering (which it will if you have not acknowledged the web) and going all crooked. When he says "neutral", I think you could also read it as "balanced". Like Ra said, "To the truly balanced entity, no situation would be emotionally charged." Therefore, you have detachment, but it's not because of hatred or fear. If you aren't pure, the love from you won't be pure! As they come to you, visualize the gifts of love and intent for others to be what you know they can be, but have no self investment in the outcome. Balance!
