When you are stuck in your own narrow world view, then it is easy to lay blame on everyone else, to see only your rightness and everyone else's wrongness. But when you reach out of yourself and ask for God's help, you immediately see yourself part of the bigger picture and you recognize others and their problems and perspectives so that whatever problems you had suddenly is modified and tempered by your understanding of others. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-02-18-Stillness Ham]

==Threshold of Awareness==
It is very easy for a few people to lord it over all else through tactics of fear and oppression. It is spiritual light that frees individuals from these shackles of oppression, the restraints and limitations of your own ego and consciousness. Open to the possibility of changing this pattern of thinking which holds people in the oppression of fear.
This is what needs to be done. You cannot destroy a handful of so-called evil people and think that all of a sudden the masses are going to fall into line. Wrong! What would happen is that another handful of well meaning individuals from the masses are going to take on the roles of the ones you just described. Why, because this is a pattern with built in maintenance.
To take apart the pattern, there has to be a fundamental change of awareness as individuals. This is what the spiritual dimension offers, a chance to change this pattern by opening up to the light available to each and everyone, to see that it is possible. Things begin to shift at the threshold of this awareness. While it is difficult having no reference for this, yet you are moving closer to this threshold. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-02-20-Aspects_of_the_Supreme#Liberty.2C_Urantia JarEl]
