Q: What if I can't be neutral in a situation, but I still would like the Light to be there for the highest good? A: Just ask for the Light to be there for the highest good. You aren't doing it; God is doing it. You are simply asking. You can also ask that the Masters of Light send the Light to the situation or person. Doing that can filter out your emotional attachment to the outcome.

My point of view is this: no matter what someone else does, you continue to express from your loving heart. That is neutrality.

To get concrete about neutrality, say that your father is in a wheelchair for some reason and you haven't quite accepted his condition, and say that you also feel guilty at times about your feelings that you sometimes don't want to help him. He's in the wheelchair because he's got something to learn. One way to help him is to just love him.

Neutrality inside of ourselves is not something where we just say, "I'm going to be neutral," because that's pressure. The neutrality works better when we can have a thought and an emotion and then see if that will work physically or not, without getting upset because we thought that and felt that. So it's how you handle your own mind and emotions. If you get a thought and you get a feeling to match it but you can't move on it physically, then just let it go. That's neutrality. So neutrality does not mean inaction. It is putting all of your energy in the proper direction. You can accomplish much in the state of neutrality because you won't be wasting time fighting yourself.

Neutrality has no judgment, so if you start judgment on yourself or others, you've left neutrality and gone into negativity.

Observe the situation, observe your feelings, observe your behavior. Observe whatever is happening neutrally, without internal comment, or judgment, or taking a position on it. You are observing only what is, not what you know or don't know about the situation. Look at the situation with fresh eyes. As you continue to observe, you will eventually reach a state of inner calm and contentment, and your impatience will disappear. Observing is not doing nothing. Neutral observation is active and dynamic. The internal power that comes from practicing it is tremendous.

If you maintain a loving neutrality towards your ups and downs, one day you will wake up and find yourself living in the loving heart, and you will know that all your experiences were but rungs on the ladder that led you there.

It's so simple to say that if you walk with your own Beloved, all things will find harmony within their level. Yet to walk with the Beloved is, initially, a very difficult process because we must walk in loving neutrality.

Observation is a matter of staying within your own spiritual center, maintaining your awareness of yourself and of the spiritual power and protection available to you, and simply watching what happens in the outer environment.

On the path of the Traveler, an initiate must love all equally. And if you feel that someone messed up your life, you must love that one, also. That person is Spirit, too. That person is also a part of God, equal to yourself. You don't have to go sit at the person's feet; you can leave the person alone. But you must do it in neutral consciousness -- neither positive nor negative.
