T238 PNC - When Two Argue and a Third Arrives — His Coming Decides

Beginner: When two people are arguing about some matter, and a third person arrives — even if the third knows nothing about the dispute and says nothing — the very fact of his arrival shifts the spiritual balance of the dispute. There is a hidden mechanism by which his presence affects the outcome. This teaches us how interconnected human reality is: we don't always realize what our presence brings. Sometimes we are the third party whose mere arrival decides things, even without our knowing. The presence of the right witness transforms a conflict. Intermediate: T238: When two are arguing and a third arrives — even one who knows nothing of the matter — his presence shifts the spiritual balance of the dispute. The architecture of conflict is sensitive to witnesses. LM 238.
