The Tip and Quote for this week is: “By observing the table crafted by the carpenter we can learn his thought and desire preceding his building of it. Similarly, we can learn about the acting mind of the Creator in every action.”
I understand this and can get deeper into the thought and desire behind the carpenter and Creator in crafting the table. But this is something that is positive in our reality so can relate to this. I’ve been trying to expand and challenge my thinking and consider other actions that aren’t in my reality but know they are here; like trying to see the thought and desire behind negative actions – such as someone torturing another person or animal.
And this weeks tip is to: “Identify the acting mind in every situation and try to ascribe it to the good and benevolent force that drives the action”
I can’t see any good or benevolent force behind this negative action. Other more milder negative actions perhaps I can see perspectives from differing angles. But not torture or the likes of these actions. Can you help me see where the good and benevolent force is behind violent actions such as this.
