The Lens of You

World view does not only depend on your perspective, your viewpoint, and where you are standing, but also on the very realm or focus—whether zoomed in or out—in which you are viewing. Most importantly, it depends on the lens of you through which you view the subject.

Like looking through the cloudy view of a penny viewer to see distant and often-viewed sights, your view may be blurred by your experiences, beliefs, and the lens of your upbringing—or by the daily thoughts implanted by others who are keen on getting you to “see things their way.”

If desired, and with the practice of focus, you have the ability to see things from the viewpoint of elevation—from how things truly are from a higher perspective—and it is beautiful. There is strife, yes, in pockets that may be focused on; yet, as with all things, if the thread of that strife is followed to the other end, there is completely balanced peace.

You have complete choice as to which end of the thread to focus on. Indeed, you may add to the side that you are wanting by your sheer focus, tipping the scales in your favor through your continuous gaze.

The focus of you is so powerful that scores may be written and battles won—not in opposition, but through clarity, through the lens of you. Ask yourself: are you joining the side that is wanted, or not? Or are you in observation without judgment?

Standing back and looking lovingly at all brings a cloud of peaceful contentment, causing others to lay down any weaponry—whether words or armor of defense. The commonality of love that exists by looking at similarities rather than differences, at the earth rather than the pestilence, at the body rather than the uniform in which it is clothed—will bring empathy and compassion for all, like the children of you.

Rather than attempting to have others see through your viewer, it is best to have them feel you. Nothing else. Feel your benevolent vibration, and it too will awaken the same in them.

You each are love incarnate. Awaken that thread—that end or beginning of the thread you enjoy. It will increase not only in the weight of its validity but also in its contraction and expansion.

Love will light the way.
