Grist for the Mill

From the soul’s point of view, you come to appreciate that each one of us is living out his or her own karma. We interact together, and those interactions are the grist for each other’s mill of awakening. From a personality point of view, you develop judgment, but from the soul’s point of view, you develop appreciation. This shift from judging to appreciating, to appreciating yourself and what your karmic predicament is, and who other beings are with their own karma brings everything into a simple loving awareness.
