This week I have been focused on defining love
and its relationship to enlightenment. I have
been receiving daily meditation guidance leading
deeper into the power of love. This week I have
often felt like I was attending a crash course
with God as the instructor.
As I have questioned I have received the answer,
or I have received inspiration to reach for a certain
book, which opens up to a discussion on love.
Honestly, I have been somewhat obsessed with
the topic, as I am sure you have noticed from
these posts.
Up until yesterday, I have been taking my dictation
from God, like a good messenger and writing
these posts while clarifying some key points,
but for the most part in general agreement with
everything that has been conveyed including:
love is the key to enlightenment; to reach
enlightenment we need to love as God loves;
this love should be unconditional and non-
judgmental, enabling us to love both our
neighbors and our enemies; and, taking
this a step further, we should love those who
are unlovable in our perspective, those we feel
are not worthy of love.
It was the direction to love those who I feel
are unlovable that gave me pause and led me
to question the validity of the argument. I kept
asking how could God actually love someone
who through ego destruction was creating pain
and havoc for themselves, others, and the world.
Why offer positive reinforcement and love power
for someone who desperately needed to reform.
By yesterday afternoon, I was at an impasse on
this issue after conjuring up every evil creature
from history and considering loving them.
As I stewed, sitting in my library, I focused
on a book titled Your Forces, and How To Use
Them by Christian Daa Larsona New Thought
pioneer, leader, teacher, and prolific writer
whose books are still published today. This
book had been originally published in 1923
by Larson who was the President of The
International New Thought Alliance, who had
also inspired Ernest Holmes, founder of Religious
Science. Larson is best known for writing
the Optimist Creed, still used today by the
Optimists Club.
I had scanned this book, which was the basis
for Rhonda Bryne’s latest book tilted the Power,
when I had purchased it from Amazon - but had
not had the opportunity to read Larson’s book fully.
Yesterday, I took it down off the shelf and just
opened the book directly to page 129 of Chapter 13
titled The Art Of Changing For The Better and
my eyes read these passages:
We may give our kindness and our sympathies
to all, but we must not love anything in any one
that is not ideal…but we can love the greater
possibilities and the superior qualities that are
inherent in the individual... the power of love
is the greatest power in the world … we steadily
grow into the likeness of that which we constantly
love… the power of love must direct the greater
part of its attention upon that which is rich and
beautiful in mind and soul.
This was clear guidance, providing a perspective
on how one might consciously love the unlovable,
while avoiding attracting similar attributes into
their own lives. And even if we are personally
struggling with our own inner turmoil or dis-ease,
we can still love ourselves. For what we love is
“the secret realms of soul life,.. where the forces
of love are drawn instantly to the highest, truest,
and most noble”.
Larson goes on to tell us that the “law of love…
determines what we are to think, what we are
to work for, where we are to go, and what
we are to accomplish. Therefore, among all
great essentials, the principal one is to know
how to love… the secret is to love the great,
the beautiful, and the ideal in everybody
and everything; and to love with such a strong,
passionate love that its ascending power
becomes irresistible”.
I still had my questions, which were clarified
by my meditation guidance this morning titled
Love Like God Loves, where I was instructed
that God loves the divine potential in all life,
but does not address or acknowledge the work
of the ego. Using this paradigm it is not only
possible, but also quite purposeful, to love
the unlovable.
LOVE LIKE GOD LOVES
The secret of loving as God loves is to understand
the nature of God love and the essence of God.
In the eyes or experience of God, there is only
perfect wholeness, wellness, potential, oneness,
the spirit of pure good.
God sees only this, even in those who have been
overtaken by the will of their ego’s and are far
less than their potential. God does not acknowledge
or love the handy work of the ego, since to do so,
would be to energize this negative creation and
lead to further dis-ease.
Like God, you must love the divine potential
existing in all life, all existence, the element
of growth - hope – the desire for further perfect
creation. Do not address or acknowledge the work
of the ego – the madness that often results, see
beyond the dis-ease, the conflict, the pain and
connect with the aspect of God – the divine
potential of all living things.
Love like God, infusing with the power of love,
that which you wish to infuse with the power
of further creation – water only the blossom
and not the weed – for the weed cannot flourish,
if the blossom is to grow.
Like God use your power of love, to encourage,
to manifest the full potential of everyone you meet –
all you encounter – touch their God potential and
love it with all your heart – all your strength, calling
it forward into form – pulling it with your love power
into the light of pure existence. Love the essence not
the dissonance.
Love as God loves and you expand the creation –
you are God in action creating more love, more life,
more perfection. Love what is loveable – the essence
of God in this world - and you will not only see
the light - you will be the light.
Namaste –
(I honor the spirit in you which is also in me)
