THERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT BRING OUT
what we really are, the characteristics embedded in us. These factors
are time, place and opportunity. Together these create a testing period in
which we cannot hide our true characteristics. If one or two of these
factors are missing, we still have scope to express or manifest the
cultivated, habituated, practiced characteristics that make us look good. I
am not against courtesy if it is genuine. Keeping a low profile is fine if
we are really humble; that is to be admired. Otherwise, given time,
place and opportunity, mere cultivated expressions will not come to our aid.
Given those three factors, we show our true nature—not our true Divine
nature but our human nature. |
Many things lie
dormant in our subconscious. If actions and feelings do not come from the
deeper self, our deeper being, if they come from the subconscious mind
rather than Spirit, then we will always be vulnerable to exposure, to being
other than who we project to be.
