SECRETS OF LIFE2-4-24
***************************************************************************
"There is no way a human being in a lost state can ever have mercy on
himself because mercy requires comprehension.
And do you think humanity, rushing around as it does, takes time to wonder
what tenderness is, what insight is? Not at all. That’s good news
therefore, isn’t it, that there is something in this universe that is not
completely mindless, rushing and crashing and not as the world does, but
something that is above it, something that can look down and understand
every move every human being makes. And instead of criticizing and lashing
out at what it sees, truth nods its head and that is its mercy because it
knows that human beings can never behave above their own level, but that
any man or any woman who wants to can raise their level.
You had better search and search hard for this higher mercy, because you
are not going to give any to yourself. I know that and the reason I know
that is because you never have in the past and you are not going to change
unless something very drastic happens inside you. And one drastic thing that
should happen is that you indeed see what your heavy spirits do to you. How
they take all the real pleasure out of life. You have no real pleasure in
life, do you? You have excitements and you have thrills and you have things
to look forward to.
But there is one thing you don’t have and that is even a beginning
comprehension of what you’re doing here. You can be very grateful then
that there is something that can enable us to begin to work rightly on
ourselves in this world - which is the beginning of mercy, which is the
beginning of real innocence."
