LOVE is such an important and vital state of being. Not only is LOVE the driving power in our Universe, LOVE is the constant force behind ALL of the decisions made on our Earth. Bad decisions, good decisions…it doesn’t matter, they were made due for someone’s LOVE of something or someone. LOVE is all that exists!
The statement above is pretty intense and may need to be clarified so I can avoid the men with white coats! We all have been taught and influenced to make judgements…what is good, what is bad, who is fair, who is scum. But Jesus himself tells us NOT to judge, that is…not to make decisions regarding the character of people and/or their actions. Whoa! How the heck do we refrain from judgement?
Basically, we have to re-teach ourselves how to think and LOVE is the weapon of choice. For when I remain in a constant place of LOVE, my heart is open and free and positive. In a way…I’m so full of myself, I have no time to consider any negative thought (judgement) against this, that, or the other!
This does NOT mean I AM an egomaniac when I LOVE me. There is little value in generosity or compassion for others when this happens at my emotional expense. If I LOVE someone and want to pay their bill…great, go for it! But if I don’t have enough funds for me and still pay for their bill because I have been taught such by society, then it becomes a burden around my emotional neck and I will doubt myself (not good) AND my action (not good either). That doubt will become insecurity which leads on to anger and fear which are not good societal traits to display. They don’t make you feel very good either!
Maintaining LOVE for myself is hard work. There is nothing easy about “going against the grain” of society where we are bombarded moment by moment to make decisions about others. “She shouldn’t do that, he did WHAT? Instead, for me, there is a great deal of peace by being able to stay in a place of “loving detachment”. This is when I LOVE myself and I see something or someone who is NOT what I enjoy…and just “let it go” without making a judgement about that something or someone. Unless I see someone being physically harmed, I do not react negatively.
Operating from loving detachment does NOT mean to ignore the person or the situation. Rather, this is when I speak the truth and send light (loving and positive thoughts) to that mean/ignorant person/situation. Just think, when everyone operates from the standard of “loving detachment”, then all the gossip is GONE, all the backbiting GONE, all the politics GONE! Everyone gets along and plays fair. No more power plays over anything!
