Reading Highlight

When we believe our mind, we often judge others and feel anger toward them. We can even feel hatred for them. This causes us to feel separate from others. Not only do we feel separate from them, we feel that they are different, and we lose our sense of the interconnection that we share. We lose touch with life’s great mystery. Our hearts can become closed, and we are not able to experience all-pervasive sacredness, the sacredness of everything that exists, the sacredness of each and every being in this universe. We can adopt the practice of questioning the beliefs and positions our mind comes up with. We can stop and pause and question if these thoughts are actually true in reality or if they are based on old assumptions and old patterns of behavior.
