To the Pure!

To the pure!
My thinking is filled with matters and issues bubble up on my mind like boiling viscous mud. I think of the perspectives of men. How we see things. I have heard of the half filled and the half empty cup. It is half filled to one and half empty to another. I read about a country that once was and the particular author who expressed his dilemma in interpreting the logo of the country, was it a rising sun or a setting sun? They both are alike except you were there when and where the picture was taken. But in a picture it's all about the way you see it. Setting sun or rising sun both are same and right when seen from a picture and its interpreted depending on the state of the mind.
The mind process the information the senses bring but never so sincerely, rather it sieves each through preconceptions of past experiences for interpretation. If my mind is pure, even impure things don't look so bad, and if I'm impure, nothing makes good things worse.
So I watch against things that defile. Once I'm contaminated the little leaven leavens the whole lump and the speck in my eyes becloud any other thing in my sight.
Once defiled with failure no idea can work around me, all I see is why it won't work. When defiled with insecurity everyone becomes an enemy and the accolades of true friends become dirge of hypocrisy and only sycophants works their way in. After all the most difficult to wake are either the dead or the pretender, the sincere wakes up as called.  When a mind is defiled by poverty, nothing is ever enough and one would hardly take notice of being stingy. When sin defiles the mind even the most righteous act can bring condemnation; its all about the rising or the setting sun.
So when I see white I must make sure I'm truly seeing white. When I hear a compliment it is better I read no meaning beyond someone's appreciation. When I see evil I should give positive benefit of the doubt. What good is it if I see everyone in a bad light and every comment as being against me? What good is in my seeing error in everything everyone does? Why should I see failure and problems instead of solutions and success? I want to see the sun rising even if it's setting because it'll rise again tomorrow.  I want to see life in the dead because of the reality of resurrection. I want to see good in what everyone does since good supersede evil and all things eventually work out for my good. So I see good in the evil I have no power or authority to change. My faith changes things. I want to be the pure to whom all things are pure and not the defiled to whom nothing is pure. I keep my heart with all diligence, close my eyes to the evil and my ears to the sneers, the scorns and the insults and  listen only to the opinions of my Maker of me, of the people, the places and the events around me. What man judges aright? Except One who knows all things and all hearts before whom we either stand or fall? So I laugh at the judge and take conclusions with a pinch of salt and in good faith, since he's not God his error isn't out of place. But I keep my heart in sincerity and simplicity almost to naivety. I refuse to deceive myself with any sense of personal wisdom, staying at the learning post is best for me. I let the winds and the wings of God carry me to where He deems fit. I've told Him I'm all His and so to me I see all things pure and I try to respond to each as it's creator would...I only try while still being human. Try it!
