WHERE'S THE JUSTICE?!
Where, indeed, is the Justice?
I don't hate the Social Workers
anymore. I see their extreme pain and my question is: How do We fix this? Yes,
it is possible to reach that level of Compassion. We reach it when we look at
ourselves without any blinders.
Of course the suffering of the Children
and Parents occupies my Mind and my Heart. Of course it does. That should be
understood without saying.
But I realize that it is a greater
Moral-Spiritual challenge to help people who have done terrible evil than to help
their victims, who arouse Compassion far more easily and widely.
I feel the same about business people
who aren't doing business cleanly and equitably and I feel this way about
politicians.
The Soul of someone who has caused a
Mother to commit suicide is in immeasurably greater trouble than the Soul of
the person who committed suicide. The same is true of someone who caused
someone to be povertized and someone who caused another suffering.
When we look unflinchingly into our own
History and face the suffering we have caused, we realize that those who cause
suffering need Redemption desperately and we have no right to ask for the
Compassion that we will not offer another.
When we look into our own Souls without
excuses and without defense mechanisms, we see that those who outrage us most
are those who have done what we have done - just on a larger or more extreme
scale.
I'm not calling Evil anything other
than what it is. I'm saying that the Evil have to be redeemed to - and that is
the greatest Moral-Spiritual Challenge of all - and must be met for the
Redemption of the Creation.
I know the reaction is: Let them go to
hell!
The trouble is: We are One. If You
consign them to hell, You go with them. And We All know it.
I also know that Time is not a vector
of sequential events, as it appears in our pedestrian consciousness and that
all of our Souls are on Trial NOW. At that level of understanding, we also see
our essential Oneness. It's not just words or something I've read from others.
I see it. And that is why I no longer scream condemnations at others. I know I
condemn my Soul too thereby.
I want us ALL redeemed. All of us.
So, the answer to this question is: The
Justice is hiding in his or her robes from Himself or Herself. When will You
come forth?
