Teachings of The Brotherhood of Light Workers
by Judi Thomases
The following segment has been received, word for word through a psychic process known as channeling. It is an invited procedure. The teachings always serve to guide us through the journey of life.
TOLERANCE
If and when there is tolerance of one another, then there is and can be peace.
Tolerance is a way that allows contrast to brook itself, to sustain its differing and opinionated stance despite (or in the face of) its opposite. Tolerance, then, is not a behavior or quality that occurs when things feel comfortable or fall into rank, aligned and similar, because it calls up the very notion of dissension, difference, and dissimilitude. One doesn't "tolerate" that which is of one's own nature. So just to talk of it immediately requires the notion of opposites.
Behind tolerance, then, is the hidden quality of difference. In fact, sometimes of extreme antagonism. Tolerance may sound like the sweet, gentle concept of the softened heart, but must first be understood as having been precursed by distress, dissimilarity, and annoyance.
Now that you understand the truth of the word you can begin to see what is required to reach the platform called tolerance. It is a step in the right direction for it is a behavior that can transmute anger into something neutral. Later from that neutrality can come even love, but first the platform must be reached.
Let's talk of intolerance - a familiar behavior or reaction in today's world for there are many factions that cannot tolerate the other and that dwell in that anger and distancing. In order that intolerance be changed into something better for the world requires that the mind of the individual be able to move from an intransigent position to mere observation, for in dispassionate observation the cradling of opposites can be performed. Two antagonistic value systems or viewpoints can be weighed in the mind, not judged, simply allowed to exist. That place is tolerance. From there, many new things can open for that type of mind.
For now, however, it would be sufficient for the mind to reach the platform of tolerance, and just remain in it for awhile. To see what can come next is to practice being a tolerater. Close nearby is always intolerance and its emotionality, but closer still for the tolerant is the possibility of love, and that is what is so amazing to grasp.
Be tolerant. See where it leads.
