Steps on a ladder … that
is where you stand each moment.  All of
life is about climbing that ladder ever closer to the highest rung.  Your Source resides upon every rung, but you
feel It the most and have the most all-encompassing view from the top.  Meanwhile, as you climb you will leave some
at the lower rungs and encounter others on those higher.  One rung is not better or worse than
another.  These different levels merely
represent greater awakening. 

Have compassion for
those whose view is not yet all-encompassing. 
They are on the self-same journey. 
The climb is not always easy.  Help
them along, but aim always for the next run. 
Be satisfied, yes.  Know that you
may slip back to a lower rung from time to time, but always will there be a
loving hand reaching down to help you ascend higher.
