Opinions

 


April 2


One of the things I don't see is that every opinion I have is formed in my personality.


The obvious consequence of this is that every opinion I have is wrong. I don't see this because I love my opinions, and I cling to them. They are in fact the thing I love the most, probably more than other people or God. This means my priorities are always badly screwed up.


My essence and the part of myself connected to the soul don't have opinions in this way. They are more fundamentally grounded in love; and their potential to actually care for important things is much greater than anything my personality produces.


I can tell the difference between whether I am more in my essence or in my personality by seeing whether I am filled with opinions or filled with love. Once understood, this difference is striking when it is examined.


Hoping that you find yourself in good relationship today,











warmly,

Lee
