Seeing

Directives

Watch the world:

without coming to fixed conclusions

without condemning the world

without losing hope

without becoming jaded or cynical

without blaming leaders or individuals or nations

“Do not be afraid to look and to see.”

Short Quotes

"People do not see, they do not hear. They are strangers to themselves. And their native skills of discerning the environment, for many, have been lost and are undeveloped."

• God Is Moving Humanity in a New Direction (April 22, 2011)

The work of God is everywhere, but who can see it?

Long Quotes

"The world is giving you signs about what is coming, giving you clues as to what to expect in your environment, in your nation, in your economy and in the more immediate circumstances of your life. Knowledge, the deeper intelligence within you, is also giving you signs, clues and warnings. But you cannot hear Knowledge if your mind is preoccupied, if you are busy all the time racing about with your busy schedule and all of your activities. You might feel certain things. You might have sensations of concern or anxiety. You might have a profound and lucid dream at night. But if you do not give these your attention—to consider them, to investigate them, to ask questions concerning them—then the whole value of your inner guidance is being lost upon you."

• The Power of Seeing, 12/30/08

"The desire to see is like the desire to know. It too requires a refinement of your mind’s faculties. To see with clear vision means you are not seeing with preference. It means that you are able to perceive that which is actually occurring rather than that which you wish to see. There is something actually occurring beyond your wishes. This is very true. The desire to see, then, is the desire to see a greater truth. This requires a greater honesty and a greater openness of mind."

• Step 19

"It is what you need to discern the meaning of your engagements with others; to discern your deeper understanding, thoughts and needs; to recognize where your life is going and the degree to which you are going there; to discern the meaning of all your present and future engagements with others; to discern the value of opportunities and whether they should be taken or not; to discern what is gong on in your environment, in your town, your city or your nation to see how the Great Waves that are coming to the world are affecting people even at this moment and affecting the circumstances and opportunities around you. True seeing and hearing are not reserved for the exceptional individual."

• The Art of Seeing, April 11, 2011

"We are teaching you to see, to see things simply, as they really are—without self-glorification, without self-avoidance, without self-protection and without falsification of any kind. See yourself as you are today. See others as they are today. See the world as it is today. All without condemnation. To see without condemnation, you must see without idealism. You must see without the need for you, for others and for the world to be as you want them to be."

• Greater Community Spirituality, p. 85

"Here you will see what is really important. It will not be intellectual brilliance, it will not be eloquence or beauty or charm or the force of personality, for people who possess these things may be the last to see and the last to know."
