“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.”

Spiritual ideas that inspire healing
Thank you Evan – i must laugh about the picture – sweet and funny.
Yes, thats wonderful that everybody is a genius, namely Gods genius, expressing divine intelligence and wisdom. And we learn in Christian Science that God gave everybody individually there special qualities, with which all people bless each other, when all these qualities come together. Thats God`s harmonious kingdom.
judgement of others and oneself is one of most pointless things suggested to us by mortal mind.
Good Morning. Thanks Evan for the reflection that brings to analysis, is very good. And Uta, I fully agree with your reflection, is excellent, simple and clear. God gives to each one his talents. Wonderful. Blessings and excellent week for all.
Thanks Evan and Nadine, this is such a trap, why would I think that anybody who doesn’t think or do things the same way I do is not doing things right?? I have to constantly remind myself not to judge others and see the uniqueness of everyone
Great point Evan! God doesn’t make trash. Every idea of God reflects intelligence. Just because we can not see it from a limited viewpoint does not mean it is not there. The fun challenge is being able to find this in others.
Nadine, I do not believe Evan is suggesting to not judge with this statement. I have found it is very important to keep God’s man in thought so I can compare this with each person I encounter and if they do not live up to this model, to be alert. In addition, it allows me an opportunity to disarm evil by seeing God’s man as separate from a mortal manifesting evil. Whatever lie that person is believing to make them act as something less than God’s man will be disproved because God/Truth/Love is all powerful. And, I need to do this daily with myself to make sure I am not tricked into believing I should be anything other than God’s man. Righteous judgement is important.
Thank you Kirsten… A very enlightened approach
unfortunately few subscribe to.
The evidence
Is here:
The one thing
To do
Which places
The most
Valuable key
Into one’s mind
and heart,
The only Key
That will unlock
The Door of
Spiritual
Understanding:
A humble
Recognition
And affirmation of
God as the
Only Source.
This may be the Hardest thing to do,
But it is also the most
Simple, bringing
peace and comfort,
Illumination, light,
Meekness of Thought–
Unfolding a
loving heart,
Renewal of body,
mind, and spirit
In the pure waters
Of God ‘s love.
This is the Practice of
The Presence
of God–
Turning to
The only true
and Divine Source
For all of our
Needs and instruction:
Where Personal life
Does not exist.
To one he gave 10 talents, to another 5, but to all he gave the talent to love if only we accept it.
So meaningful in a few words. Thank you Evan, Nadine and Maximo.
Maximo,
Thank you. I enjoy the beautiful enlightenment that you share daily as well. Evan has many thoughtful and creative readers.
Finally… relief….
Being a rock at the bottom of a pond
I can now live in peace
not knowing how to swim…
People used to tell me,
‘ Time to sink or swim’
This always left me feeling
inadequate….
Now knowing we shall
leave not one stone unturned,
I know my day shall come,
Skipping across the top
of the pond as God’s loving
hand reveals all potential
in all
Thank you Maximo for this uplifting poem 🙂
Thank you for sharing this it’s good to be reminded that as a reflection of God, we are all talented and geniuses expressing these in our own unique
ways. Thank you Evan.
I shall be reflecting on this all day. What do we love about our friends and family members? I try to always look for the good, in others. When we focus on the good the bad is softened and often just disappears. What do we cherish about each friend? What do we value? We are known by the friends we have. We love our friends and allow them to be who they are. We don’t expect them to run through hoops! We value their God like nature. Love is reflected in Love.
