With the Internet, global communications and cheap flights, the world is becoming much smaller. In many parts of the world we can see, talk with and meet folks from an ever broader range of backgrounds and cultures. Each of those we meet is doing their best. All different, each unique in their own way, but all equal in the eyes of God. Our lesson in all this is to see each person as a spiritual being, to accept them for what they are.
Peace comes through mutual respect.
Enlightenment is not having to judge, not needing to label. For some years now I've had a 'bottom line' approach to life. By this I mean that whether using Reiki healing, or 'going about our business' in life generally, there are no set 'right' or 'wrong' things to do or ways to do it. Depending on where in the world we are, depending on circumstances, what's 'right' on one occasion may not be right on another. And so many of us have been seeking a freedom from such conditioning and learning to take each situation on it's merits - living 'here and now' as befits anyone on a path to enlightenment.
