I’m a people watcher.  And as I wake up to myself more on a moment to moment basis I am shown quite a variety of my thoughts.   While at the zoo with my grandson and thousands of other people I was happily watching this person and that, creating what I thought were their stories etc….and I briefly felt like I was inside this young woman, hearing her thoughts and seeing the world as she did.  It was a sobering experience.  She was about mid-20’s, short blond hair, a child or two and overweight.  For just a few seconds I felt how other people’s thoughts about her weight were hitting her like little silver needles.  Judgments about how she looked etc. were all over her and I wondered how she could even breathe and I felt what effort it took to even go out in public.  She was not happy most of the time and very irritated by the judgments of others.  I was so happy to be out of her thoughts that I immediately felt love and compassion flowing to her and I apologized in my mind.  Like most of the other people, I too had thoughts that she should lose weight etc.  And quite frankly, as I honestly look back now, most of my thoughts about other people had been pretty negative that day and filled with judgments of one kind or another.

When I opened my email bag and found this quote below from Edgar Cayce I decided to make my spiritual lesson this week to think consciously and not automatically.

“Learn the lesson well of the spiritual truth:  Criticize not unless ye wish to be criticized.  For, with what measure ye mete it is measured to thee again.  It may not be in the same way, but ye cannot even think badly of another without it affecting thee in a manner of a destructive nature.  Think well of others, and if ye cannot speak well of them don’t speak!  But don’t think it either!”     Edgar Cayce Reading 2936-2
