How can we reconcile our beliefs with the differing beliefs of others?

The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:

The ego rejects what it cannot observe or measure.   As it is a mind whose very nature is so closely associated with the world,  it is only natural that it too would be constrained to the limitations this world expresses.  Many who live relatively happy and fulfilling lives never venture past this limitation, accepting only evidence presented that is manifested as observable phenomena and that which can be explained, measured, and repeated through process.   

Do not judge your brothers and sisters who limit their perspective to only what the ego can validate.  Each of you in this delusion of separateness will approach perception and understanding from a different viewpoint.   This variation of view is an integral part of this world.   It is neither something that needs to be fixed or overcome by the perceiver,  it simply is as it is.

Those among you who have chosen to remain constrained to what they perceive as substantive fulfill a role among all others just as you fulfill a role in your experience.  It is still possible to effectively demonstrate love, compassion, joy and peace in a boundless form.  Remember this, individual incarnations of living form are of limited consequence.   The real truth as you and all others will learn is beyond your individual experiences.

It is also important to respect the experience of those who have perceptions beyond the substantive that differ in explanation from yours.  Remember this,  your mind experiences this reality in a way that is unique to your individual egoic instance.   Do not hold an attachment to how you believe true reality to be in this moment nor hold hostility to the views of others as you are made aware of them.   You will do well to learn and grow as new truths are revealed to you and that which you previously believed falls away.  A firm footing in that which lies beyond your understanding of this manifest world will serve you well as you learn, grow, and change moment by moment.  Remember to breathe and quiet your thinking.  I am always with you in this journey, continue to love with me, forgive yourself and all others, have fun, be generous, forthright, patient,  joyfully enthusiastic, thoughtful, and reflective.  There is nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.  Enjoy.
