Standing on Level Ground

     It is hard to push away all the illusions and falsehoods, so to be able to see our world with clear eyes and an open mind. Those who can have a great gift. As for me I am only able to partially see and to understand. I am working hard to make what I have in part to be full however it is yet to be.
     From the little bit of insight and truth that I found, I will say it is better to be standing upon level ground than to be elevated or to be in a low place. Level ground is common ground for everyone. When you are in a low place looking up at everyone. When you are elevated you are looking down at everyone. However when you are standing upon a level place you are joined with many and looking straight ahead.
     Looking straight ahead you can clearly see those in front of you. If you were looking down they will be beneath you or if you were looking up they will be above you. By looking straight ahead they will be on the same level as you. You will be able to see them as your equals.
     The circumstances of life are different for everyone. If we were someone else and live their life we might become just like them. By standing upon level ground you will be able to see yourself in them as they will be able to see themselves in you.
     I believe Jesus Christ understood this truth. What Jesus Christ was fortunate to have within his life he shared it with others. Jesus Christ was also merciful and forgiving. He kept his eyes straight ahead upon his path. He could have walked above us but he chose to walk with us. He did not place himself beneath us but lived with us as a loving brother. Even though he had high authority and kingship he still was a humble and approachable man. He could see deeply within our hearts and minds. Jesus Christ loved all of us as his own.
     Through Jesus Christ those who once stood in a low place stands much higher and those who stood in a high place became more humble. Together they now stand upon level ground treating one another as brothers and sisters. They now are more capable to understand and to love one another.
     Standing upon level ground you can approach one another without inferiority or superiority. You can clearly see the hardship and the struggle that others face. You can see them having the same problems that you are having. We are not so different from one another. Upon level ground the separation from each other disappears.
     In the beginning the human race was established upon level ground. Only by choice others migrated to the higher and lower places. Separation soon followed. No longer were they united but divide by the different levels. When Jesus Christ returns we will be united and standing upon level ground once again.
