By default our minds will categorize things based on information it has from previous experiences.  It is although we have a little minion between our ears whose responsibility it is to play the match game with everything that enters into us.  We have so much coming at us all at once that it is a most necessary function of our mind to do this automatically. We would be completely overwhelmed and probably not very functional in the world if we had to have everything pass through our conscious awareness.  Yet our mind becomes so efficient it will also filter things we do experience consciously.  My daily date with God has brought me lots of practice opportunities to watch what enters my awareness.  God has shown me to observe with greater neutrality.  Before I make the distinction of something being right or wrong, God offers another lens.  The eyes through which God sees make one distinction.  Is love present or is it being called for? Instead of automatically going with the sticker of good and bad, God invites us to pause, take a breath and look at thing from the distinction of love.  When I am open to see as the distinction God sees my heart is equally involved with the consciousness of my mind and I have learned it is stronger and more capable than I ever imagined.
