"see the creator"

[Ashim]

For me the path really became clear when empathy was engaged.
The difficult part of the process in my case was forgiving and accepting certain other selves.
To do this I had to really dig deep for insight. I knew I wanted to forgive them but could not for the life of me find that special place in my heart.
An exercise that helped was to imagine being able to take all that is precious to me on board a Federation Star Ship.
Of course it started with my immediate family, wife, child, mother etc. Then at some stage I realised that I love all of humanity. So if the ships are really that big and can hold any amount of 'things' then I would take 'the world' with me, including all life forms.
Folks with whom I had disagreed with about certain matters included.
I was then certain we could 'make up', being given so much time and tlc.
Ruth, you are right it's all about love and having the eyes and ears to see this in every situation.
My father-in-law was my 'enemy'. Our views on life could not be any more different. This caused much friction in our relationship.
Now I see that he is only doing and saying what he truly believes and that this is indeed the distortion of free will.
I can no longer be angry with him for he thinks he is doing 'right'.
He's just like me!
