FROM GOD’S POINT OF VIEW
If one wears ordinary spectacles, everything will
appear as it is. If, on the other hand, one wears dark
glasses, everything will take on different hue,
depending on the colour of the glasses. The same
applies to the human intellect. When one observes
someone, one does so through the lenses of one’s
own intellect. If the lens is clear, then everything
will appear as it is. If it is tinted, then everything,
regardless of its true nature, will take on a false
appearance.
The human mind is either God-oriented or self-
oriented. It sees people through either divine or
personal lenses. These are two very different ways
of seeing things. Those who look at matters from
God’s point of view are realistic in their outlook.
They judge things on merit, not on the basis of their
own biased opinions. They see people as they really
are, for that is how God views them. Others see
things quite differently. They view people in the
light of their own interests and prejudices. Their
friends are beautiful, their enemies are ugly.
Members of their own clique are “white”, strangers
