Viewpoint
VIEWPOINT = a position or perspective from which something is considered or evaluated
QUESTION: Is your viewpoint binary or principled?
STORY: We each look at the world through our own eyes. It is called our Point of View. Our POV is typically very limited to what we learn as we grow up with our family, friends and experiences. We are taught to see the world as outside and separate from us. Our life journey is very much constructed by our memories, beliefs, habits, prejudices, biases and more. We each tend to believe that “my view is the right view”. Well, at some point in life, we begin to ask questions about the world around us. We begin to search for a deeper principled understanding of the universe. This search is an individual task. No one can do it for you. It is time now for human beings to understand that our True Self (Spirit, Soul, God, Consciousness) is a Principled ONENESS that is here now.

QUOTES
“From the viewpoint of absolute truth, what we feel and experience in our ordinary daily life is all delusion. Of all the various delusions, the sense of discrimination between oneself and others is the worst form, as it creates nothing but unpleasantness for both sides. If we can realize and meditate on ultimate truth, it will cleanse our impurities of mind and thus eradicate the sense of discrimination. This will help to create true love for one another. The search for ultimate truth is, therefore, vitally important.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment.” ~ Ralph Marston
