Remember Buckminster Fuller’s quote which says “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller’s quote is right on target with the teachings of Unity in Gender Diversity or vice versa… the point is not to focus on what is wrong or even on what needs to change. Focus instead on a system that does work and how best to implement it. We need more people working on shifting reality to a world based on Love!
Two main forms of love exist. One is of this world and the other is not. The ego is an aspect of our being that allows us to function in this world. All that you see in this world is a function of ego and I do not speak of the personality version that Sigmund Freud introduced. I speak as A Course in Miracles (ACIM) teaches that the ego is all that separates. Whenever you experience something separate from yourself you are experiencing ego. This explains how we can think of love as painful or something we can lose. The world is full of “love stories” that teach ego based separation with all the pain and pleasure that comes with it. In this ego based world hate is the opposite of love, however they both come from the same source. They are opposite poles of one whole, the ego. In order to experience ego separation we must have the opposite which serves the very important purpose of supplying contrast.
Humans revel in the experience of contrast, love, hate, pain, pleasure, happiness, sadness, hot, cold, and all the aspects of time and space. Turn on the television for 5 minutes and you will see the contrast I speak of. All of the sitcom and soap opera programs serve up ego separation as juicy slices of comedy, drama, and action. The ultimate act of separation is killing or death; the grand delusion of mankind! The ego mind is a master of weaving this delusion into every facet of your life. You are reminded of the “reality” of death a thousand times a day, especially if you are watching television. It has become a natural way of life here on earth, life is born and it dies. We would not have it any other way! Or would we?
To further define ego love consider the many experiences we associate with love such as happiness, sadness, emotional pain, deception, betrayal, loss, falling in love, love at first sight, and even making love. These are all ego based so this means they are illusion. I am not saying that the experience is not real because it is indeed real, just like the movies are real. We can experience all these things in the movies and we do! In fact the reason we are in this earth experience is to experience love and all the other experiences involved in this journey of discovery. So if the love and hate we are experiencing here on earth is an illusion what is the other version of love that exists?
For clarity I will capitalize this type of Love, so if you see “love” think ego and if you see “Love” think Eternal Spirit. The only true form of Love is that which some define as Agape or the Love of God. I promise this is an extremely important concept to master. Metaphor is very illustrative, so consider this. You came to earth expecting a mansion and were instead given a shack! This illusion was sold to us by an ego mind given full reign. The ego is not who you are but is in fact a tool given us to experience this world. It is not possible to be in this world without your ego, because this world is in fact your ego expressing. It is time to let go of the belief that you are your ego (or your body) for it no longer serves you.
Who are you if you are not your ego? When the ego is stripped away all that remains is Universal Intelligence, Great Spirit, God, Prime Creator, or Infinite Consciousness. Other names for God are pure Love, Joy and Peace. For our purposes here today we are only discussing Love although Joy and Peace are interchangeable with Love. God is All There Is and how we experience this is what Love is all about. God is Love, God is Joy, God is Peace, God is YOU and me and all that is! You may have heard this explanation however I offer it here because it is so profound. Each of us is a point of experience for God or you can think of each life form as an aspect of God. This prose describes what Love is and isn’t.
Love Is
Love is not exclusive, but Inclusive
Love is not painful, but the Highest JOY
Love is never lost, but exists always
Love is not changing, but constant
Love is not different, but the same at all levels
Love is not wrong, but the answer
Love is Universal!
Love exists regardless of what is happening in your life, in fact
Love exists regardless of your life
Love is something you can share, but
cannot prevent another from experiencing, only yourself
Love is the only thing you have more of when you give it away
Love is a feeling, an emotion, an experience, and so much more
Love is life itself
Love is a way of life
Love is an acceptance of all that comes your way
Love is an expression of WHO YOU ARE, who we all are
I AM THAT, I AM
The next time you wish to experience Love consider what it means. Love is unconditional and in order to experience this we must first give it away! How can you give away something you do not have? You cannot, but then Love is who you are so simply give you away. This is done by being thoughtful and considerate of others, accepting others for who they present to you, and never criticizing anyone or anything. You give of yourself by doing onto others as you would have done onto you.
As we focus on Agape, and living a life of Love the world transforms or conforms to our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It is a front end load system, you must put up first for the experience to reflect back to you.
