OK I know this is like the only post I have done on The Anatomy of Peace so far but I was listening to a book today and it reminded me of something that I gained from Anatomy.
When we see people as objects there is all kinds of deception going on in our minds. (Whether this is deception is for self-justification, stubornness or a whole host of other reasons the fact remains that we are deceived.) Truth cannot abound where deception is present. To stay in "The Box" is to violate, ignore and cut short our true developmental process that Heavenly Father wants us to achieve.
When we refuse to move out of the box or are ignorant to whatever box(es) we may be in is to enslave ourselves to those deceptive feelings and hault us in the very growing process we are fighting to acheive. There is power in knowledge. There is power in knowing and being able to recognize when we are in a box. You are able to gain emotional and spiritual maturity when you can hear a person that may be acting not nice to you and then think to yourself, "OK. I heard what she/he said, but what did they really mean?" Not taking offense to remarks is a sign of emotional maturity. That type of maturity is essential to learning to get out of your boxes.
I believe that by being a part of this club together we are in a sense "taking off our shoes" for one another and creating a space where we can just be! Women. Mothers. Sisters. People. Friends.
