As we go about our day our little minds are constantly looking at what is right, wrong, pure, impure, and beautiful and ugly. This is the way we currently judge our world around us in order to know what we think of ourselves inside.
Some of you would disagree with me and this is good, because out of this disagreement you separate or create the opposite within you. Let's say for instance you are listening to a message from Martin Luther King and all of a sudden you say, "Oh yea he is so right", for him to be right means that someone else has to be wrong. Why do I say this? Well how do you know that he is right if there is no one else out there to show you the contrast of what is right or wrong.
Wars didn't start because people could agree but rather because they disagreed with each other and felt the need to force their rightness, their own purity onto others. But then someone can say, "Yes, but if we didn't go in there to save them millions of people would have died." How do we know? However, what we can do is allow the experience to guide us to a path. Everything can guide us to our path.
What path is that? The path of enlightenment. Even if you say that you don't want to become enlightened you become enlightened because your choice will assist you in understanding why you chose not to become enlightened. Then by that experience and that choice you separate yourself from the choice you made and are now free to experience the results of your choice. Tongue twister for sure.
How many women experience the inability to have sex just because their mothers or fathers would make them feel ashamed of their bodies as they moved into puberty? Many parents probably thought this would be good for the child and keep them protected from doing something shameful. All along it only leaves a deep hole within the child that now something is wrong with him or her. When looking at the real root cause of why a parent does such a thing it's usually because they did something they felt was shameful during that period in their own lives.
We influences others through what we believe about ourselves.

Just sit around a table one day and watch people talk about what they believe and you'll begin to see eyes and veins starting to pop out, you'll see them get uncomfortable in their chairs and you might get a "I disagree". When you hear this be open to see where you might have created this person saying this out of your own ignorance of trying to be so pure, while making him/her impure.
All things in life are pure, all things are for the Divine, all things are for our Enlightenment, NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. When we begin to separate ourselves from this very truth we have to make something more or less pure or impure in order to validate for us our OWN purity or impurity. The person that feels they are more pure than another may feel they are more connected to the divine, but really they are only separating themselves further from the divine for all is within the mind.
If it were true that impurity is real then Jesus would have given us examples of that all through the New Testament, but what we find instead is how he welcomed everyone, everyone.
