Then realize the truth that what you see in a brother, that which stands out so glaringly in your thoughts of him, are but those qualities in your own personality that unconsciously influence your thoughts and color your vision and prevent you seeing Me as I am in him.
For were not those qualities still in you, you would be “above” them, viewing them in the clear light of My Consciousness, where only the pure and perfect qualities of My Nature, which is yours and your brother’s real nature, would be apparent in him. Try, beloved, to see how this must be so.
