yah, thanks Jeremy. good find.
this part is nice:
all the problems come back to the SELF, and one's attitudes and mindset. Sure, the 'other' individual is suffering distortions, that is not in doubt or question, but it the lack of the ability to accept (read inability) which is the cause of the reactivity and kicking back against the 'other'.
to a balanced individual, there are no emotional hurdles in seeing the other clearly, and seeing clearly, one is then able to offer the most appropriate service to that other person, unclouded by the blinding anger of resentment, or bitterness, or sadness at the others' plight.
the blockage you see in the 'other' and are unable to overlook and perceive with love is that blockage in the self which is being manifested in a physical person in front of your face.
if is being projected from your 'inner' to their 'outer'.

to someone balanced, observing a distortion in the world or another individual would be no more troubling that seeing the color blue on a car, taking note of it as a 'fact', but feeling no need to go further unless the owner of the car asks you to help paint the car a different color.
of course, an 'unbalanced individual' who has had a bad experience with the color blue in the past, would react quite poorly to seeing a blue car, and would do their utmost to change the color of the car, even if the owner is standing there protesting NO! what are you doing? this is my car, I like this color blue. Why are you freakin' trying to paint my car??
hence, if you don't 'like' something in the world, it is very good to ask oneself why. Did you have a bad experience with it before? most likely from when you were very young, and you made an overhasty assessment of - that felt bad ... NEVER AGAIN! and that 'never again' becomes quite a sticking point later in life, generating the reactivity when even the possibility of experiencing that which is 'disliked' is raised in conversation or a thought.

there is no reason to dislike or react against anything in this world. Or rather, it is another passing 'phase'.

this part is nice:
Quote:Each here is aware of the function of self and other self as mirrors for the other in the process of the seeker of knowing, accepting and balancing itself. Thus, when one encounters an other self with which one has difficulty, the ultimate cause of the difficulty will always be the difficulty in perceiving the absolute unity of all and, more on the level of the illusion, the lack of ability to accept the self fully, as manifested currently by the other self.
