Unless you see yourself treated contrary to the way you think you should be treated, your best efforts to "help" "another" repudiated, and are hurt and unhappy, how would you know that your are not being individual God-Mind-Self --the conscious identity of only Good is being -- manifested?  How would you know you are deluding yourself?
If you were living Life as Principle -- minding your own business, attending to the business at hand of being -- you would recognize the right of each absolute self/individual to act from her/his own standpoint of experience and not from yours.  You would have no opinion of how s/he should treat you.  When you see yourself rejected, criticized, condemned, even persecuted, frustrated and disappointed with your daily life - its people, events, circumstances, what you see is your own failure to be Mindful Man, self-consciously alive to your wholeness, divinity, perfection now.  Your own unlived Life is rising up and demanding that it be lived as impersonal unguided thinking, that is, as Principle instead of person.
   It goes pretty hard for the one who lives Life personally - ignorant of Life-Principle.  That one has mistaken a concept of self for the Self.  But the one who lives impersonally, without emotional attachments to a self-image, self-concept fabricated by society, family, religious group, etc., one who has understood that by basing living on the personal concept, one depersonalizes the Self and that this self-deprecation must show up in the mirror of relationships, sooner or later, that one understands the absolute necessity to give her/himself the freedom to be self-determining.  Giving others the right to self-realization in their own time and their own way, I am giving it to myself.  I am freeing myself.  Life is a joy to such a one.
   Living Life as the acknowledgment that only Good is being, in all ways,  means no emotional attachment to any concept, in the understanding that every concept of Reality is Reality coming to view and that all trouble is self-trouble coming from one's own point of view: either the personal (depersonalizing) view of being or the impersonal view.
   For the one whose religion is Science, enlightenment - the conscious experience of God from within and AS oneself - with no outside God, no outside authority, outside his/her own demonstrated being of Good, God, s/he demonstrates the science (religion) of human behavior -- the government of Principle instead of person.  In the understanding, that "God" is Truth- Principle - the law of self, the law of sanity, one becomes a law unto him/herself and the world of that one mirrors back the facts of being Spirit in human terms: health, wealth and happiness.  Self-government, self-control, self-discipline, self-direction, self-determining being, self-realized, that one lives his/her own lived Life, finds the cure for social ills and the problems of human relationships.  Loss turns itself into gain, hate turns itself into Love,  Truth - the all consuming fire turns itself into the all-preserving Presence.
   When Life brings you face to face with what you are doing to yourself by identifying with the personal point of view - instead of being the conscious identity of Good -- do not add to you troubles by turning away from the mirror or condemning the false self-belief.  Self-pity, self-justification, remorse, indignation belong to the personal concept and by trying to get rid of the false self concept/image you reinforce it, build it up, deepen it.
   Face it!  You may discover all kinds of things about the belief of self - you've taken as your Self -that you do not like - believing these are about your self - not the least of which that you are afraid of being alone, afraid to be yourself, afraid to think originally out from Mind, afraid to be the Perfection of being you are - afraid to be..." alone with one self, and the reality of things."

Margaret Laird paraphrased.
