If you would truly understand the light of mercy, you
must understand the equation of light and darkness. When
the light that is in thee as God’s energy is singly focused on
the Divine, then how great is that divine light.7 If the light
that is within thee be turned into the dualistic vision of seeing
and witnessing human light and human darkness, then
how dark is that light of God that you have allowed not to
shine in the divine radiance, rather through the lens of impure
seeing.
When one or another view you from the human rather
than from the divine, it is an opportunity for mercy to flow
from your heart even through the stream of that one’s vision
of imperfection in order that over the gaze of their seeing of
you as less than God, the flame of mercy, the light of restorative forgiveness may transmute what within the impure seer
remains of the substance that has been projected upon or
viewed within you.
For adepts of the Spirit, it takes great self-mastery not to
engage in dual-eyed vision and to allow the stream of vision
of the one beholding you in imperfection to be cleansed.
Through the field of awareness, radiance and love that you
hold as the immaculate conceiving of that one’s very soul,
there is the transmutation by and through the flame of
forgiveness and mercy of what that person does through
ignorance.
Matthew 6:22
