Blur Your Eyes to See

Many religions - Just one love

 

It is my belief that the reason we judge others is because we judge ourselves. We attack others because we are self-destructive. We are cruel to others because of our own feelings of worthlessness. We sniff and snoop and hunt down others’ imperfections to make ourselves feel less inadequate.

It is my belief that each one of us desires, more than anything, to be loved for who we are, to be respected by everyone, especially our parents, to feel supported and believed in by those closest and to feel understood. We all want to feel worthy – worthy of unconditional love, caring, nurturing, compassion and appreciation. This need of humanity’s is what bonds us. We are all as fragile and needy of loving as anyone else on this planet.

So let’s stop judging one another on our individual pursuits for this common goal. Yes, we have different religions. But are these religions not just paths to our inner calling, our search for unconditional love?

We all want to feel seen and heard. We all want intimacy, to be able to let go of our pretences, drop our masks and be accepted for who we are.

So why do we chastise and judge and victimise others whose needs are the same as ours? Why do we feel the need to judge one another’s religions and condemn others for following their hearts?

If we could just blur our eyes a little and embrace the knowing that we are all seeking the same end result; and if we could just show others support and encouragement on their paths and share compassion for one another, we could attain the realisation that heaven is within our grasp.

I had a dear ballet teacher once who used to squint her eyes as she stood back from our rehearsals. She said: “You need to blur your eyes to see.”

Let’s all take a page out of her book and soften the edges of our external vision. Let’s observe humanity with the eyes of our hearts and souls. Let’s treat others as we so crave to be treated - with kindness and compassion.

Have a beautiful week seeing with blurry vision

All my love
