Pretty Pictures lie too. Just as the devil isn’t clad in red horns and a pointed tail, rarely are lies ugly at first glance.

Slick words wrapped in pretty pictures does not in itself, bring truth. This is where we as the perceivers, the readers must look beyond the “four fingers”, the pretty pictures and the mere words to the substance of what is being said. (I know the picture is pretty, but scroll down to see the whole picture.)

The following is my take on this pretty picture and these words.

The problem with this "black & white" statement by "Wilson Kanadi", is that it implies that there is no gray area, no growth area, which is very misleading and sets up those starting their adventure into themselves, for failure.

This never-ending journey of self discovery, is not dictated by a flip of a switch, so for Wilson to categorically make this statement, is not as positive as it could have been. We all stumble and fall (judge) in our reach for understanding, which is how we come to separate ego from self as we step into our higher selves, into our knowingness and our ability to simply be.

Outside of that, those who perceive another from their own perspective may mistake a stated observation for judgment. There are cases when another does something that elicits an observation and not judgment. In such cases, especially of one bringing harm to another, the judgment was manifested in the actions of doing harm, not from the observer.

Wilson Kanadi's statement itself casts judgment. So, which do we believe, the words or the judgment?

You should know this; you will judge, for it is interwoven into you by all that you’ve have been taught, and sadly, now justify. Relax, you are learning and unlearning. Keep to your focus of you, even and especially when you fall, and you will fall. All is well and good with you. And, pause before you cast judgements when you speak, for sentiments linger.

The answer to the question two paragraphs above, is you. Believe you, not the you trained into acting and responding as you have been told, but just you, how you feel. There will be some tumbles when re-learning to know, accept and trust yourself with nothing more than yourself. You’ve relied on others for far to long. You know more than you think. Trust your knowingness. Trust you.

In the spirit of grace, we each and all are living dualistically - up and down, correct and wrong, beautiful and ugly. This is how we find and learn to discern what is balanced and what is not. It is our finding our balanced selves. (Now, for more.)
