“It is not possible to talk about tolerance without talking about intolerance.

Tolerance is part of acceptance, but acceptance must always have the notion of respect. Tolerance is to accept another person as he is; to accept that he doesn't function exactly as you do; to accept that he acts in a different manner.

However, from the moment the action of another person becomes one of disrespect, you must somehow impose a sanction; at least correct the error of his lack of respect.

Tolerance and intolerance often go hand by hand. You have to learn to recognize the threshold of your tolerance and of your intolerance. For each person, the threshold is different.

What seems to be intolerance for one will be insignificant for another; it depends on the level of acceptance, as well as on the degree of wisdom for everyone. The same goes for respect. What may seem totally disrespectful for one will not necessarily be for another.

Nevertheless, there are some immutable laws concerning respect! What I just talked about concerns relationships among humans. Respect, which for me is part of the immense Divine Laws, essentially addresses respect for life in all its forms.

Sometimes you wonder: how far should I be tolerant without being lax? Only you can find the right point! It does require discernment. It isn't useful to create division, or cause a break over a misunderstanding.

Sometimes when we see you act, we think this: he who often talks about intolerance and tolerance doesn't completely understand what these words mean.

Try to live justly, try to live with as much wisdom as possible and be certain that if you do, the words "tolerance" and "intolerance" will no longer be part of your life.

Those around you will know that you are able to raise yourself to another level of consciousness; they will not show disrespect and intolerance with regard to your behavior. Don't forget who you are as a human being; your brother is as well.

You can differentiate your behavior from another's only by what you will acquire through important and continuous renewed personal work. Thus, as you understand, certain words, certain emotions, certain attitudes will not concern you anymore.

For all these years I have been by your side, trying to guide you, trying to make you understand what is most beautiful, what is best in you, trying to make you understand that you should not, but absolutely not, be open to negativity. I'm trying to make you understand that you need to learn to see yourself as you are, to accept yourself as you are, to love yourself as you are.

Perfection does not come suddenly; perfection and wisdom must be worked on day after day. These qualities of the soul are acquired at the cost of important work on your ego and on your emotions."
