20 More Truths About Love
Today's Thought:
Love your neighbor as you love yourself. There was no fine print.
Love, not fear, is your natural state of being. All the great teachers have implored us to see this from time immemorial. And yet, fear casts a long shadow on our planet and in our hearts.
Yesterday's post about replacing a fear-based world with a love-based world generated quite a bit of discussion. Some pointed out the challenges we have in bringing it about.
Those challenges are undeniable, but they're not weaknesses of a love-based paradigm. They're the result of our unwillingness to push the envelope on creating such a world. Remember, we're not talking about the superficial meanings of love and fear in common their common uses. We're talking about love and fear as foundational forces in the universe and foundational ways of being.
For whatever reason (this is a whole other discussion), love has been muffled here on planet Earth. Fear has been sold as the only "realistic" vision of life. Look at the conditioning in our popular culture. It's all about being afraid. Be afraid of your neighbor. Be afraid of being "uncool". Be afraid of being outside the norm. Most of all, be afraid to ask BIG questions. Especially those questions that are like elephants sitting in humanity's proverbial living room - it's past, present, and destiny.
As promised, here are 20 more truths about love to take with you today. Post these. Use them as affirmations. Begin to create the love-based world from the inside out. It starts with each of us.
