Tolerance vs Acceptance

...it's a bad word. It suggests to cover up one's feelings and to ignore them. The key is an entirely new paradigm. The word should be at minimum be replaced with acceptance. The paradigm changes from either or...to and. If you grasp this awareness then you transcend the polarity trap that creates this illusionary separation.

When we can appreciate our differences instead of use them as fuel to hate each other, we have achieved heaven on earth.

This means not taking ourselves so "god damn serious."

When Jews can laugh at funny names attributed to them, powerful change occurs.

When fundamentalist christians laugh at the funny names attributed to them, powerful change occurs.

When Italians laugh at the funny names attributed to them, powerful change occurs.

When every minority can see the humor and insignificance of names, they may be called, guess what happens/ It shores up the distance, it stops the separation and diffuses it in a heart beat. It pulls the carpet out from under the energy behind the intent to separate. The polarity collapses.

When we can all look at ourselves and laugh at the crazy stories we have allowed ourselves to become, then we finally get it. We transcend the stories and the differences between us are nothing more than a cosmic joke.

Division creates disharmony. Division is a fracturing of consciousness.

When we place our attention on the differences by hi-liting them, or protecting them, etc we are actually creating a chasm. "And" connects, "or" divides. Contemplate that.
