Although we can learn and deduce a lot
about God’s laws of life and about our own human nature from observing and
understanding the ways of Mother Nature, there are certain aspects of Her, which
can lead to wrong conclusions about humankind. For example any apple is an
apple and thus will in most cases taste like one, too. Meaning, its outward
appearance allows a direct conclusion of its inner life. Whereas the inner and
the outer lives of human beings generally are quite different from each other
to a superficial observer. There is an inner and an outer reality to every
person. And although in human beings the outer is conditioned by and created by
the inner reality, the two might often appear to be complete opposites if
viewed solely with the eyes of the world. However if you care to look beyond
someone’s outward appearance and situation in life and instead recognize the
intentions and motives behind their acts and words and their attitude towards
themselves and their fate in life, you will gain a ore accurate insight into
their inner life. And in returning to the example of the apple: in so doing you
might suddenly realize that a perfect appearance might reveal stale and
tasteless flesh, whereas on the other hand a crumply and browned little apple
can taste rich and sweet.
There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.
