Everyone is Doing the best that they Can
This is an expression of a friend of mine, I adopted. That was one level of understanding. Level of understanding is perhaps an incorrect term. Perhaps it might be better to refer to depth of experience. We tend to experience to the depth that we allow for.
After using this expression for a short period, I felt it lacked something, so I added; “with the information they have accepted.” And that was another experience.
But as I continued to experience this statement, I found it to be inadequate. While on this journey of no distance, I was recognizing that the information that I accepted and integrated into my belief system that formed my personality, that determined my egoic values, that determined my individuality, that said that I was this and not that – in the basic of things was the mark of the beast (ego) that prevented me from knowing that which I was attempting to allow for. I was recognizing that the intellect/ego, has many layers of illusion. Educational-informational degrees that we buy into and decree are but a means to prevent us from recognizing our Higher Self. And that was another experience.
Then there was the recognition of the attachment! The attachment to the thought, the information, the beliefs, the container/body, the individuality, the personality, the “I” am this and I am not that, that empowered this fiction of my mind, we call the ego. And that was another experience.
And as the thoughts floated by like passing clouds without attachment, stillness appeared and with it came; Love, Peace, Calm, Beauty and Innocence. The “I” had disappeared. There was nothing to improve upon. The awareness was there all the time. Oneness is present. It was just waiting for recognition to show up. And then the realization came; everyone is doing the best that they can!
