Title: What to do with the Blankety Blanks

Read on, and I'll tell you later!

Right now I want to establish the scenario. This came out of my contemplation of Mother Teresa's statement when asked what she did as she walked the streets of Calcutta. (I referred to this in another website piece.) Her wonderful response was,

"I see Jesus Christ on the face of everyone I see."

As I thought about her and what she must have been doing as she practiced this, I saw a way to adapt this in practicing beholding the Jesus Christ consciousness in everyone. I have admitted in at least one website piece that I have not practiced this consistently - and I devoutly want to!

The way that came to me was to remember the scientific theory postulated by the British biologist Rupert Sheldrake. I have written of his idea in several websites. He believes that every breakthrough of consciousness enters the stream of consciousness for the whole membership of a species. Later I have written of the findings of a Canadian scientist, Dr. Andrew Roger, that breakthroughs are shared with all species and elements of the whole of life!

Now the point I am developing here is that it is one thing to think of the potential of the Christ Mind in every person and a much greater thing to relate to absolutely everyone in spite of appearances the idea that Jesus Christ's breakthrough in consciousness is in the process of getting the attention of every human being. Truth is Truth. It is not exclusively Christian nor Muslim nor Taoist nor Hindu, etc. .

I absolutely accept the idea that the Jesus Christ breakthrough is knocking on the door of every human being waiting for the door to be opened by each individual one at a time!

Now we can look at what to do with the Blankety Blanks. Who are they? Well, each of us probably have at least a short list of persons we cannot stand or have some kind of difficulty with - such as drivers! Have you blankety blanked a few in your time? If so, you probably didn't feel too proud of yourself afterwards. Am I being autobiographical now?!

These are the very persons we MUST learn to love, to include in our Mother Teresa practice, so see the Jesus Christ consciousness at their doorstep, to realize that they are God's perfect and precious creation capable of all that Jesus promised and predicted for each and everyone of us!

If I indeed absolutely accept this idea, then it is up to me to put it into practice. The consistency follows the beginning, the commitment to it as a valid idea, one worthy of practicing, trusting it to show forth once it has become what we do all the time instead of occasionally.

And the number of blankety blanks will be gradually reduced as we increase our practice. And then it will really be "what a wonderful world!"
