Conflict Only Becomes Conflict ....

Conflict only becomes conflict when you allow it to be. It is just an experience or a circumstance, and if you don't allow it to become conflict by the way you react to it, then it won't become conflict. There is nothing inherently "good" or "bad" in our experiences here as everything is of God. Every experience, every relationship can be holy if we see it that way. The problem lies in that we apply our belief system, a belief system that is unique to each of us, to form a judgment about each experience we have. So we categorize and view things as good or bad based on a very distorted lens. What if that lens is taken away? What if we had no past? Then maybe we would see things the way they really are. Maybe we would see God behind all experiences, behind all appearances. It is not what we experience that matters. It is how we see it and what our reaction to it is. Are you brave enough to drop your judgments?
