LOVE IS WHERE WE ORIGINATE FROM
AND WHERE WE RETURN TO . . .
Love is where we originate from and where we return to. Everything is here to be loved. Every aspect of ourselves is here to be loved. Whether it's our fear of abandonment or whether it's self-hatred.
The question is can you love the part of you that fears abandonment? Can you have compassion
for the part of you that is insecure? Should we
love a child murderer? The answer is, of course! Yes, we better love the child murderer. Clearly,
they need it more desperately than anybody. “Radiate boundless LOVE towards the entire world." Buddha.
When people are ignorant of Love they can only behave insanely, they can only do evil, wrong actions. So how can we expect someone who doesn't have love to behave any other way?
If we choose to judge the child murderer we're validating what they see in themselves. We
cannot hate anything away. We cannot hate ourselves away because what we fight we strengthen. To judge the child murderer is to create the child murderer. To judge our hatred
as being "not okay: is to create more hatred.
“HATRED IS NEVER APPEASED BY HATRED IN
THIS WORLD. BY NON-HATRED ALONE IS HATRED APPEASED. THIS IS AN LAW ETERNAL.” Buddha.
Only love can show the Truth of the situation that there is no such thing as separation. There is no actual separation. Duality: it is always an illusion.
To further our practice we can question and meditate upon "what am I not loving right now? What parts of myself have I made into an enemy?"
Jesus famously said in The Book of Matthew
"you heard it was said in the days of old that you should love your friend and hate your enemy
(Old Testament) but today I'm giving you a new commandment. That you should love your enemies, bless those who persecute you, do
good to them because in doing so you will be children of your Father."
Love is always unconditional. There's no such
thing as conditional Love. Just like the Sun doesn't discriminate on what gets it's light. The Sun just radiates in all directions and it illuminates anything that's willing to bask in its light and anything that does bask in it's light, the light of Love, receives the transformation.
The only option is to Love it. Whatever it is, it is here to be loved and it will continue asking us
to love it by projecting itself until we do. Love it whatever it was, no matter how wrong or evil we thought that it was, we/they only ever behaved that way because of the ignorance of Love.
How could we expect any other behavior?
Can you have love for yourself at that stage?
Can you forgive yourself? Not even for the action but for rejecting that part of you which committed that action?
No one is evil. Evil does not exist. There's only ignorance in the same way that darkness does
not actually exist. It is simply the absence of Light. And light expels darkness not by fighting it or hating it but by simply revealing the fact that it
was never actually there.
And likewise unconditional love casts out fear by showing us that there's no such thing as separation. When we judge ourselves we create
a boundary. When we love ourselves we remove
all boundaries and limits.
Can you have radical, relentless, genuine, unconditional love for yourself? See clearly that the Universe is not judging. God is not judging.
It's only been our own mindless, conditioned
minds who's been doing that. Don't take it personally. We are not our minds. Simply see. Observe it. Be the Witness.
For only through loving awareness can we ultimately forgive the part of ourselves that
has judged ourselves. So, if we can forgive ourselves, then we forgive the entire world in
equal proportion.
Hate or judgment cannot heal a broken heart;
only love can do that because Love is the only vibration that comes directly from the Source.
