Inspiration from Unity
The High Ground
By Mary-Alice and Richard Jafolla
Excerpted from The Quest

What you see with your eyes shut is what counts.

-Lame Deer
A Sioux medicine man

"Bob is acting hatefully. I certainly don't approve of what he's doing, but in wanting him out of my life, am I being judgmental or am I using good judgment?"

Judgment or judgmental? For someone on a spiritual path, that is the question. How do we know if or when we are putting ourselves above someone whose actions we find repulsive and obnoxious or downright immoral? After all, we are not perfect, so how can we judge another? Being clear on the difference between the two will help.

No one on a spiritual quest wants to be judgmental of another human being. It presumes a moral high ground that is dangerous territory for a spiritual seeker. So here's a good way to know the difference between being judgmental and using your good judgment: Being judgmental is stopping your assessment of people at the appearance level, the superficial level of how they look or act, without going past that to the level of their indwelling Christ. You are using good judgment if you can see past people's actions-no matter how repellent you feel they are-to the light of the Christ within them. After doing that, you can make a decision about their actions. Of course, your judgment may lead to your putting those people out of your life until they change their actions, but as long as you do so and still recognize their indwelling divinity, it's okay.

The important difference between being judgmental and using your judgment is seeing past the appearances to the Christ within. It's the difference between judgmentally thinking another person is inferior and simply judging a person's actions as being inappropriate for you to be around.

In every human heart there exists the hope of connecting with "something more." Tucked away deep within us, a part of us has always sought-yearned for-that connection.  The Quest opens the way for that connection. It presents eternal truths in a contemporary and very personal way. Whether you are just beginning your own individual quest or desire a deeper spiritual understanding, this guidebook and the accompanying activity book, Adventures on the Quest, will lead you with warmth and practicality through the pilgrimage of your soul.

Let Your Online Shopping Support Us
Whether you shop at Amazon, Walmart.com, Itunes, or many other online retailers, your purchases can help support USCEM.

Always start on the USCEM Shopping Site.  From there you go to your favorite retailer and a percentage of your purchases will be sent to us later - at no extra cost to you.  The average amount paid to us is a little more than 5% of your purchases.

Bookmark this URL and always start here.  Then go shopping.

We didn't earn anything in 2015 - although we earned $94 in 2014.  It's  probably because people weren't starting at the shopping page.  Please do this - it costs you nothing extra and is an easy habit to adopt.

The Law of Giving and Receiving
By Ernest Holmes  
 
Everything in Nature moves in circles. What goes out must come back. Unless the seed is sown it cannot bear fruit. There must be a planting time for every harvest. Who gives all receives all. Who refuses to give, limits the possibility of the greater good returning to him.
 
Love and you will be loved. Extend joy and you will become more joyful. The ancient Talmud says, "God will doubly guide the already guided" and Jesus, the greatest of the great, said, "Give, and it shall be given unto 
you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."  (Luke 6:38)
 
We do not give because God needs the gift but because the giving increases, broadens and deepens the life of the giver. Nor shall we give from the standpoint of duty. The universe refuses to bargain with us. It already has given us everything it has. But it
also has provided that the gift of life can be received in its fullness only as it flows through us to the fullness of others.
 
How wonderful is this exact balance which God and nature keep; how perfect is the law of God and how glorious the opportunity to join with the infinite Giver in the givingness of the self to the joy of life!
