I was 18 on a bus in Seattle when a mentally confused person got on, and "entertained" us, then just as abrubtly got off... the bus driver smiled and said,... "I find it best to to remain quiet, and let them work it out... they'll imagine we are talking or saying something different than our silence or voice anyways..." After another minute passed he chuckled, glanced at the woman (that was the main target of the confused man's rant), and simply said,
"It would be a thunk dull world if we were all the same!"

there is no division, only illusion of division, illusion of seperation. "judgement" is illusion trap of division; of seperation. "discernment" is simple act of whether something resonates to individuation (manifestation of human role / garment) -- discernment kinda goes like this -- if something not resonate, simply can state "I do not understand that" "not my groove", hmmnnn... and move on... no judgement.
even the biggest drunkard, or villian in the lila play is individuation on important path... all roles are equal in lila play...
spiritual pride is one of greatest delusions... (i.e.- Look at all these ignorant people around me, they are ignorant... why don't they see? Is it only I or a few who are a great spirit, when will they awake...) We may continually consider again and again, this lila play is for our "entertainment" -- and duality is essential (good/bad, hot/cold, light/dark).... and if all the players on the stage left at the same time (liberated)... who would be left to entertain the "audience"... we all play many roles, and take many paths... these are simply our garments...
"the ember is resident in all, simply awaiting the ebb and flow of breeze to spark the flame..."
"As a diamond has many facets that reflect light, so there are many paths (of God illumination)"
Is Beady gettin' your goat Namaste2All? A little tickle maybe? Let us spark the flame together while the other actors play their roles. Didn't know you would get so personal about my garment it covers up the imperfections. My path has intersected with yours though. So are our garments glittering with the Suns rays? How long before we share some time together meditating and talking about our love for God and our gratefulness for all that the great spirit has done for us? I always look forward towards seeing a divine friend....
