1.
See yourself reflected in another. See how that person is similar to
you. See how they become more similar as you feel more accommodation,
respect, admiration and love for them.
|
2.
Feel another person. People are very different than they appear and
even different than they think. Your feeling of another tells you more
than their words and actions can.
|
3.
Identify what it is in yourself that is irritating to you when you see
it reflected in another.
Recognize that it is your own emerging quality you see in the one you
admire.
|
4.
Practice forgiveness, thereby showing the action of the Universal
Heart reflected in your heart. Forgiveness can be practiced in
different ways such as tolerance, forgetting, and overlooking.
|
5.
Reveal your innermost being with dignity; by so doing, you teach others
how the heart operates.
|
6.
Let your heart be moved by the beauty and tragedy all around you.
|
7.
Don't avoid emotional pain; instead, experience your heart's pain with
all your awareness, until it becomes a physical sensation. Go so deeply
into pain that it becomes the pain of humanity. Let the pain turn to
joy, to all feeling.
|
8.
Forget the errors of others. Your
reproach may make them firm in their faults. Do not dwell on your own
errors either. People are seldom improved by guilt. Blame no one for
anything. Rather, try to understand their reason.
