What is tolerance?—it is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly—that is the first law of nature.
~Voltaire, 1764~
To live a conscious life you must BE TOLERANT—another beautiful quality of the soul. For you see, each of you is a magnificent work-in-progress. You are here to learn, grow, and evolve from your experiences. No one is going to get everything right or perfect all the time. You will make mistakes according to the world’s standards and that is okay. The key is to grow from them. Turn away from darkness—ignorance and unconsciousness--and continually move toward the light—unconditional love, compassion, and awareness.
You see, since each of you are on a journey of personal and spiritual growth, it is inevitable that there will be choices and decisions you make that you may wish were different. However, the point to remember is that life is always beckoning you toward your greater good. To achieve this you have to experience the parts of you that need work, that need help in moving from darkness into the light.
Knowing this of yourself and others how can any of you judge or criticize the experience of another. You are all here on the same journey--the journey of learning, growth, and moving into the fullness of your Light. You must be tolerant of each other’s shortcomings and proud of each other’s strengths. You must help to uplift, encourage, and support each other in becoming your best self. For you see, you will surely want compassion and tolerance for your frailties and errors so you must give that which you want to receive.
When you really understand that you are here in this physical reality to evolve yourself to reconnect consciously with your soul and GOD, how can you not support your fellow human in the beauty of their humanness? The lesson in all of this is--as you learn and grow, you must reach back and teach those who are not yet where you are. You see, you are all here to learn, share, and help each other evolve into your greatness. Not to criticize, condemn, and judge but to help encourage, support, and uplift each other and all of humanity to a better state of being.
You must share your Light and help others find or refine theirs. Tolerance is the key to make this happen. It brings forth compassion, understanding, acceptance, and inner peace. This soul quality enables you to embrace an understanding attitude in the best of times and the worst of times. When you fully embrace tolerance, it is then that you can say, with a heart at peace, the words once uttered by Jesus—“Forgive them for they know not what they do”.
You see, in all situations, BE TOLERANT of others and express compassion for their shadow side and YOURS. Know that the grace you extend to others enables Divine Love to extend the same grace back to you. Practice this soul quality and watch how your life changes for the better.
LIFE LESSON
Through practicing tolerance, you enter the higher path to peace and alignment with Spirit. This is another soul quality that lets your divine Light shine.
