God’s love

How do you become good?

You love.

Love is the expansion of the self to include all things. It is the closest we can get to God’s love. His love is not just an emotion that melts in our hearts, like a rush of hormones of a warmth in a loved one’s embrace.

No, that is just the shadow of God’s love. God’s love is the strength of the universe. It is the tie that binds all things. It is the firmament upon which all reality comes to be.

It is the fullness of our glory.

It is the beauty of the universe. A beauty that is resounding, redoubling into itself, a palpable stream of acceptance, and celebration in being.

It is the music of life, it is the ebb and flow, and the reverie of each moment.

Love is the greatest unifying factor, in which all things and beings are lost to the self, but found in joy. It is completeness. It is “our joy completed”

It is a self evident celebration of all things that was, is and will be.

Love in God is to love God, and to love God is to be part of God’s love. It is to love all things. It is to be with God, in God, united and consumed into the love that elates and revives.

How deep is space, and how large is infinity? Love reaches even beyond this.

On earth we call it love. Even though the earth has not yet known the grandeur and absolute majesty of His love.

Our love in the past (I say past because this kind of love is a changing condition. If I say human love, you might think that because we are human, that is all the love that we can contain or practice, but that is wrong. Humans can love like God when they love God. When they love God, all things become possible.)

Our love in the past has been dictated by how our parents loved us. Then it is by how media says we should love. They place importance on romantic love, and the endorphine-adrenaline rush of courtship and eros love. We think that love is an emotion that is given to us for one special person, or that our family was made for us to love.

When we love, the heavens open and there is an exchange of powerful energy between you, specially if the love is mutual. Imagine then, the rush of energy when you love is directed to God, the one who created the universe. Imagine then the energy when one loves all people!

We depend on the love of humans for sustenance, for emotional nourishment, when these do not satisfy. Only drink from Jesus, he will give you waters of life from which you will never thirst. Then your love tank will be full, and your joy will be made complete.

There is only one love that is constant, and strong enough to satisfy. That is God’s love.

Reality

Reality

As we have previously established, when a man creates a thought, it goes to the realm of thoughts. From there it manifests into reality. Each person has this power. Each person interacts, affects and is affected by others, as well as the realities that others have created.

Space allows all things to exist in a singular place, and as time guides each manifestation in a singular moment of being, or perhaps, as man’s consciousness as singular, also perceives time space as a singular moment we call “now”, reality in the consciousness of man is sifted into one moment, progressing over time. Here, in man’s reality, the effects of the past thoughts are felt in the present, and the effects of future thoughts will eventually come about.

I use an analogy of a fan or propeller while in motion. It is actually for example, for legs rotating around an axis but because it happens so quickly, it is perceived as a flowing, changing circle. The legs of the propeller do not become evident to the perceiver unless it stops.

In the same light, the process of creation at every moment is a system wherein a man’s thought goes up to the intellectual realm, and comes back down. Time, space, and consciousness flow quickly to make it appear as if our lives are a linear progression: a white circle instead of 4 propellers whirling around a center.

In fact every next moment is determined by us. In fact it may take time to manifest our thoughts because the universe works as a system where all things are fully and completely integrated. We glimpse this integration when all the elements work out to our best advantage so much that people call it luck or coincidence. In fact the same system goes unnoticed, working on every facet of our life and the universe.

A person’s reality is determined by his belief on how reality operates for example, “It is a mean world..”, their belief on their place in reality “I am royalty, or I am nothing”, and the energy that he or she creates consistently such as being productive, abusive, loving, or indifferent. I will call this his personal energy for easy reference.

Whether a person is aware of it or not, this is how the universe determines his place, his accomplishment, his environment, the people who come into his life and everything external. These external things will tend to confirm the beliefs of the person’s personal energy.

When a man is aware of His true nature as divine, and a child of God, when he knows that the universe is a single loving, and majestic system, and that his place in it is a little personal creator, then he is ultimately living in truth.

When man comes into deep spirituality and truth, he automatically gains a greater love for all things. This is the love of God inside all of us.

The love that we feel on this realm is a lower field of the true essence of love, which is God. However, this love is the closest thing to Him. If we resonate with love, for all things, for all circumstances, for all people, we resonate with the highest God in heaven.

This is why Jesus first commandment was to love God above all else and love our neighbor as ourselves. Love opens the dimensions of reality. Also, when we love, we come to the divine creative energy that nullifies all negative circumstances. When we love, we resonate with the power of creation, that is good, and true and just.

More concretely, if someone is fighting you, and you love them, they are eventually broken into loving you back or at the very least, letting you be. The power of love is so great. It also flows with generosity.

To make it more complex, each influence of choice or words from someone else will come and influence our perception, and thus, change our thoughts. Then, a new creation is born. This happens continuously and effortlessly. Each person influences the other.

The metaphor of the propeller of reality is actually one that changes in every second that a leg passes. The air that the legs pass through forever changing and adjusting to new creation, driving the propeller to a certain way. The air is like other people’s choices and effects on our lives, that shift our thoughts. Together, the shared reality of the propeller is pushed one way or the other.

Each person is a captain and controller, each person is also affected by the other. Because of this collective system, moving across time, man’s evolution has had to be one that is collectively accomplished.

 

Rules

There is a danger as in all religions, when the universal comes into the context of the subjective that there becomes a myriad of questions about how to act, what is right, and what is wrong.

In this case, let the conscience of a spiritual man decide. The conscience is mature if one shows the fruits of God’s spirit within him or her. These are the fruits of love.
Any noble virtue that makes manifest the equality of men, that is peaceful in means, that shows affection, consideration or respect for others are fruits of love.
Any act done in love leaves the person strengthenned, consoled, enlightened, and ofcourse loved.
If your conscience bothers you, then your soul or another needs healing and this must be addressed.

If one is to seek the fullness of God’s love, that which is true happiness, then first seek to be at peace with family and friends. Then seek to be in loving relationships with family and friends.

The ties that bind family are strong because of the high expectation of love to come from them and because they are the primary examples of what one will perceive as the “real world” and how relations are supposed to be carried on.

The first people you are best to love, if the kingdom of god is to come, is your family. Most often it is the locus of deep pain, generational negative habits and longstanding grudges.

First then make peace and love between God and yourself. Know that He loves you completely and truly.
Then be God’s love for your nearest of kin.

You know their weaknesses, which will most likely resemble yours (if not the polar opposite). Be the patience, be the generosity, be the comfort, be the light.

You will find moments of weakness and frailty within yourself that might come in self doubt, selfishness, self importance, hate, jealousy and all these illusions. Remember that these are chemical reactions to protect your ego. The ego seeks protection of itself. The spirit seeks unity with all. It is therefore necessary to streghen your spirit by allowing God, who is more powerful than chemical process or psychological patterns to reign over your mind and decisions.
You will know His decisions by its motivation, which is to love, and its results, also to love.

In matters of work, if it gives service to your fellow man, provides needs and desires and hurts no man, or desecrates no temple of God, then it is good. Work is worship and part of manifesting the fullness of god on earth.
