Trusting your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self That lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours.
Perception has a focus. It is this that gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift, to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before. Remove your focus on your brother’s sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond.

The Weatherman
Once upon a time at a small TV station in a medium-sized town in the Mid-Western United States there was a weatherman. He was a competent meteorologist and after studying national weather bureau data and other local sources would appear nightly on television and, as accurately as most forecasters, predict the weather conditions.
One night, to his amazement, a miraculously beautiful spiritual vision overcame him. He was shown the total unity of purpose of man in his search for truth. He saw that God is - and through the revelation recognized that he had the power to make absolute and inevitably perfect predictions.
