The Lesson:
We are all expressions of Divine Grace in human form. Our nature is loving-kindness. We only hurt others because we are acting out of our own unhealed woundedness.
When we are able to choose to come from the state of loving-kindness, we will see the beauty in each other.
The Practice:
1. The Sanskrit term Tat Tvam Asi can be loosely translated to mean That Thou Are, or I AM That. The practice is to notice when you have judgment about another person, either negatively or positively, say to yourself Tat Tvam Asi, or I AM That. It’s a practice of remembering that we are mirrors to each other reflecting each other back to each other. When I can practice interrupting the judgment and recognize that I’m seeing myself in the other,
I’m not only radically accepting myself, but also I am seeing the beauty in the other.
2. Make the decision when going into social interactions that you will choose to see the beauty in the other(s). Simple as that.
Mantras:
All of life is a mirror.
I Am That.
When I change the way I look at people, the people I look at change.
I see Beautiful People everywhere I go.
Many years ago I took a trip to Cabo that turned into an unexpected journey of rapid, deep personal transformation.
This post is one of sixteen excerpts of a piece of writing that I did, that was inspired by this magical experience.
Each “chapter” contains a lesson that can be categorized as a lesson in Mental Toughness, personal development, or spiritual growth.
These chapters have been organized into three segments: the Lesson theory, a Practice, and relevant Mantras to help you in your own journey.
