                                            Do you want the karma of hate?
To hate is to project negative energy into the world. And as you project that hate, it comes right back towards you because we live in a time of instant karma.
It is so sad and disturbing to see all the hate that is expressed in this world and on social media.
What makes people act out in negative and unhealthy ways?
It is because something in their psyche is out of balance and unfortunately, they do not realize this.
Because something is off within them and because they do not have the ability to comprehend and recognize their condition, they do not have the ability to truly look in the mirror and assess themselves.
Jesus said: “Please forgive them. They know not what they do.”
As humans, if we understand that people are out of balance and that they aren’t aware of that fact, then we can understand how to love all people, all things, unconditionally, even if their thoughts and actions are different than our own.
It takes practice, but with practice we will all be able to love unconditionally... IF we CHOOSE to do so.
Yogi Bhajan said: "If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all."
The deeper understanding of this, is that to love all people unconditionally is the higher path.
The ability to love unconditionally was given to us. It's in our DNA.
Naturally, it doesn’t mean that we agree and condone what people do, but we can still love them as “they know not what they do.”
Be the change this world needs!
Love!
