WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW

Leave a Comment / / By

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love,” according to the Burt Bacharach song. Sometimes truth is simple, in truth too simple to be understood. It really all does come down to love–the divine unconditional love that knows no boundaries.

In today’s world with its greed, violence and chaos, we could truly use an infusion of divine love.

One of my favorite biblical passages is from Paul’s letter to the Corinithians (1.13): The language soars with poetry as it describes the glory of love:

“If I speak in the tongues of humans and of angels but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions and if I hand over my body so that I may boast[a] but do not have love, I gain nothing…Love never ends. … as for knowledge, it will come to an end.” (NRSVUE)

All spiritual teachings and practices can be judged from the perspective of love. Unfortunately, many of us are imprisoned in limiting ideologies that we use to judge others, and this limits our ability to love unconditionally as God loves us. Our love nature needs to grow so that it is all encompassing like the ocean, instead of like a small rivulet.

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL

God or Source is the greatest love of all, but because of ignorance we are blinded to this truth by the sensory experience of what this world offers.

Whatever attracts us derives from God, and all love and capacity of love derives from God. God’s love is unconditional. In God everything pleasing is contained.

Religion has done us a disservice by teaching that God punishes us. This creates a sense of separation between us and God, which is contrary to our religions’ reason for being.

Once we understand this, everything falls into place for our journey back to Home.

LEARNING TO LOVE OURSELVES

Leave a Comment / / By

Many of us are very capable when it comes to loving others, but find it daunting when it comes to loving ourselves. Perhaps we have internalized messages from others that we are not good enough. Perhaps we are far too aware of our failures, do not like our appearance or have a weak self mage. We may recognize the importance of love, but don’t realize that we are deserving of love just as much as anyone else. If we can’t love ourselves we are hurting inside and will be unable to extend love to others.

We can learn to love ourselves by learning not to be judgmental of ourselves. There are a million reasons why we may not like or be happy about ourselves. We can forgive ourselves for our errors, remembering that life is for learning. Simply love yourself despite your perceived imperfections and allow healing into your life.

In learning not to be judgmental with yourself, you will learn to avoid judging others as well. Then you will feel lighter and begin to feel the Divine working in your life.

Healing, Love

YOU ARE ALWAYS SAFE AND HELD IN LOVE

Who are we, really?

We think it doesn’t matter until we die, then we will find out. Or it all ends with our death, and really doesn’t matter. But the truth is we need to know now, because it governs how we should lead our life.

In “Pure One” I explore the question using the ancient wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, and illustrate the points with reported near death experiences. Advaita is the philosophy of Oneness. It means that on a fundamental level we are all the same, “God” included. Or rather, we are made of the God-stuff. Remember, the Bible says that man is made in the image of God. It is hard to wrap our mind around that, but that’s exactly what we must do. We need to inquire with great earnestness into who we really are.

This world that we live in is a world of impermanence. However, we are pure consciousness, which is outside of time and space. Change and death do not affect us, but we do have a subtle body that travels from life to life, and that subtle body carries with it actions, good or bad, and impressions of our experiences while living.

Eternal damnation–there is no such thing. Forget the angry God personality because it does not exist. God is really an endless fount of unconditional love. Reported near death experiences tell us that atheists and believers alike discover this to be true.

We are lucky today to be given access to so many accounts of near death experiences in books, on YouTube and other channels, and the reader is invited to explore these on their own.

You are always safe and held in love. When you leave this world you will happily leave this physical body behind, realizing that it was just a temporary vessel for your immense consciousness. In addition, you will leave behind all of the suffering and confusion of this life and find that you are home, held in the loving embrace of the Divine.

Love, Our True Nature
