One morning this past week, I was meditating upon a seed sprouting into a plant and flower. It seems simple enough. I didn’t get far though. My mind kept wandering to an unsettling situation/problem that became a full-blown issue in the last three weeks.

This has been a great time to be reading about love in scroll II. Pg59, “I welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.” I’m not someone that “hates” people.

I am however having a very difficult time finding anything to like about the individual on the other end of the difficulties.

I haven’t been able to feel this yet. Now I do silently tell the individual “I love you”. I’m thinking though that they are not feeling it. In Haanel 9-9 he writes “Every action which is not in harmony with “Truth”, whether through ignorance or design, will result in discord,”.

I keep thinking how do I “benefit all” (Blueprint Builder) when basically being bullied by this individual?

After letting these thoughts sit for several days, I conclude that for my part I will keep working for a fair outcome for everyone. Haanel 9-6, “To think correctly, accurately, we must know the “Truth.”

The truth then is the underlying principle in every business or social relation. It is a condition precedent to every right action.

To know the truth, to be sure, to be confident, affords a satisfaction beside which no other is at all comparable; it is the only solid ground in a world of doubt, conflict and danger.”

And finally, “There can be no connection to the Universal Mind where anger or resentment against a brother or sister, justified or not, exists.” The Law of Forgiveness
