The Spirit sat on a bench holding a red apple in his hands.
"When you look at the apple, what do you see?"
"An apple, its color, its shine."
"You see only the outer shell. But what is hidden inside you do not know; you can only judge by the skin. If the peel is rotten or withered, or unripe, then the flesh will be inedible. Right?"
"Yes."
"The shell helps you make the right decision, to choose exactly the product you need."
"What is this lesson about?"
"About the greatness of the soul.
It cannot be hidden behind any existing shell. No matter how a person looks outwardly, you cannot make out their soul until the person begins to reveal themself: through their deeds, looks, gestures, words.
Manifestation determines a person's mindset, their essence, their maturity, the maturity of their mind and soul.
But only one who is enlightened in their own knowledge and in perceiving another's form can understand another's soul.
You often complain that you encounter the wrong people, the wrong relationships you wish for. That is because you learn to feel another by uncovering your own soul.
Therefore, if you dislike the people who surround you, begin with yourself. By revealing yourself gradually, step by step, tools of influence on others become available to you that you did not know before.
You reveal yourself in the world, and the world reveals itself through you, through your eyes, your words and deeds, and in the reflection of your acts the minds of those who once seemed hopeless to you are transformed.
In other words, you cannot affect another except through yourself, through your own spectrum of revealing the spiritual component of your being.
When your Spirit is strong and mighty, confident and steady, you become unshakable in the face of acts of aggression, hatred, malice, any manifestation of negative impact on you.
Develop spiritually and feel moved each time you see a hostile manifestation toward you.
