Excerpt 3 from "The Book of Bandele: Life of a Project Prophet".

Chapter: 6-22-10
Verse: 10:07pm

I saw a little girl today who happened to be legally blind. This isn't the first time I've seen a blind child but there was something different about this baby. I believe she was all of 6 or 7 years of age. With the assistance of her older brother in the front and her daddy behind her she joyfully hopped down the stairs, counting out each stair as she hopped. Just as jovial as my daughter Messiah was when she was 6. At first thought I was sort of disturbed, thinking about how she couldn't see what we see. My Ori or my higher spiritual head told me she is blessed to not be able to do so. You see, she actually has to judge with her head & heart and not the bias and trained eyes that we have. In addition to learning to use her internal eyes she also had to learn to trust.

People who can't see need people who can see to help them along the way. People who can see should recognize their role in this and not manipulate the person who is blind and seeking assistance. All productive relationships are built on foundations of trust, first and foremost. If this young sisters trust is shattered by her father and brother it will be shattered for every man and some women who enter her life from that point on. This was a family establishing trust with each other. By the peaceful and loving energy I picked up from them, I believe they knew it.

Trust is indeed at the foundation of any healthy relationship. Learning to use your inner eye is quite a blessing many sight having people do not build upon. I enjoy the times I tune out the world and tap into my internal world. There is so much to life than what we think we see.
