Inclusiveness

Inclusiveness, in the esoteric understanding, is acceptance of the true values and achievements of other people, but it is also refusal to identify with their evil intentions, separatism, ego and destructive behavior. When you are inclusive, you sense that you are one with all souls, but you do not participate in their ignorance and crimes.

Inclusiveness does not mean to throw yourself into the mouth of a lion, or to surrender yourself to evil. Inclusiveness exists only on the level of Beauty, Goodness, Righteousness, Joy, Freedom, and other high principles. You cannot be inclusive with crime, syphilis, and other diseases, but you can love and feel one with those who suffer. One is not inclusive by opening himself to germs, while in the meantime taking vitamins. One cannot include an instrument that is not tuned with instruments that are in tune. One should not include in himself things that are mathematically wrong with things that are mathematically right.

Inclusiveness is the ability to see values and not reject them, but make them a part of the Inner Treasury. Inclusiveness does not mean to leave your husband to sleep with many other men. Inclusiveness does not mean to collect flowers and mix them with poison oak.

Inclusiveness means to have a sense of unity without yielding yourself to the weaknesses of others, or leaving yourself open to many kinds of exploitation.

Inclusiveness means to have a very high-level of discriminative power that enables you to find values and precious stones and put them to the right use in projects.
