A Vision for Respecting Others

We see a world where we have all risen up and out of our impulse to feel or think that we are better than anyone else. We envision everyone having completely seen through our old patterns where we used to think that our way is the best way, or that our way is the only way. Thus, we have entirely stopped attempting to impose our will on those around us. Instead, we honor the uniquely created, personal path of each person we meet, and we do not interfere with it. This single, simple response - that we now see all people as equal but different, and we allow them to live their lives without our meddling or interruption - has changed our world entirely. We now respect the religions, the beliefs, the politics, the values, and the evolutionary choices of all our fellow travelers, knowing that each person's path has within it the means for taking them to their highest expression of joy and fulfillment.
