The Everest on which You Stand
from The Divine Eye: Seeing the Good in Everything and Everyone, March 24, 1995, Oasis Bookstore, Amherst, Massachusetts
So, dear ones, we want to ask you to take on faith, first our assumption and declaration to you that good and bad come with regularity to every life, and that in no one’s life, does good outweigh the good in someone else’s, or bad outweigh the bad in someone else’s. That this weighing is another judgment that must be done away with in order to free yourself. You know how much energy is spent worrying about whether one is getting more or less than someone else? Worry, worry, worry.
Let’s ask you a question. Let’s say two people, or everyone here, let’s say you’re all standing on the top of the World Tradal Center, heh? A hundred and ten floors above the ground and you all wiggle your ears, just a bit. How much of a change in your elevation has that made, compared to each other? Little or none. You are already so high. Little things don’t make a big difference.
This world is like wiggling your ears, because you are standing on a divine pillar of you-Godliness. You are so beautiful and so divine. That the small experience of one life or another are absolutely meaningless in terms of the good that comes into your life, compared to someone else’s life. You are on Everest. Don’t be distracted by an ant crawling over your hand when you are on the Everest of divine love and experience and achievement.
You are on this Earth as a reward, dear ones, because you have achieved so much as spiritual beings before. You would never have been asked to take on this assignment— Never!— if you had not achieved a certain amount of knowledge to get you through this difficult life.
And so, dear ones, dear friends, and dear children, let us say this one human family is all alike, in all ways. And that the little things that seem to be different between people, especially in the good and bad fortune that appears to come to them is an absolute illusion. Absolutely false. False to the core.
That is why we want to talk to you tonight about the Divine Eye: Seeing the good in everyone and everything. By good, we don’t mean the kind of good we’ve been talking about. The kind of good your mind decides is good. “This jelly donut is good. This day-old éclair is bad.” That’s not the good we mean. We don’t mean the good of the ant crawling over your hand; we mean the good of the Everest on which you stand.
