Love Much Outwardly

 

The Source of Inspiration by Constant Montald (1907)

We were designed to love, not to be loved. That is why if an enemy hates you, and you love him (you are in a state of love,) the stronger the enemy is, the stronger the love can become. You see, that is very different from what we think of as love — meeting someone and holding hands and living in a cottage ’til we are old.

Love pours out of us. That's the next revelation. It doesn't flow into us. We think, "I need love." No, you don't! You need TO love. We have to fix the notion that "there is something in me that needs love." You might need emotions; you might need somebody to tell you that you are nice or something. But the strongest love is the one that flows outward. And if you can let it flow outward, no matter what happens, then that fountain will never stop flowing.

To look at this another way, the denser the energy we burn, the more mechanical or human we are. The lighter the energy we burn, the more conscious, awake, or closer to God we become. So one of the exercises we must learn, if we are sincere with our work, is to love much outwardly. To not concern ourselves with what the machine wants or needs to make it feel better, because this is usually short-lived and temporal. But to try and love consciously. To express love, to give love, to radiate love.

That's the highest level that a man or woman can reach on this earth. That's what makes us more like God. It is our love that dictates our divinity...

We Are Like Radios...

We are like radios. 

The moment we are negative 

we may tune in to the accumulated negativeness of someone,

perhaps thousands of miles distant, 

who has been negative for years. 

There are many, many different wave-lengths, 

but there is always someone 

who has the same wave-length 

as our own, 

whom we affect and who affects us if we let him.

That is one reason why 

it is so necessary to guard against being negative, 

in order not to collect 

the negativeness of other people 

and add it to our own. 

And think of the responsibility 

if we send negativeness to someone else. 

It might be someone who 

is just getting out of a negative state

and whom we push back again by our negativeness.

Sleeping Beauty...

Roland Risse

Sleeping Beauty, 

where the character goes to sleep 

for many years and is awakened by a prince 

(a teacher or school). 

In reality, there are many who remain asleep 

for most of their lives.

Sometimes, when they are in great danger, 

for example, 

soldiers often remember their time in battle 

as the time they most cherish in their lives. 

They aren’t aware that the reason for this 

is that the ever-present threat of death 

caused them to be in the moment, awake. 

Or others have a wonderful memory of the time 

when they were in love, 

and life became beautiful again 

because they were awake. 

There are many who remain asleep, 

they have a soul, 

and it will have brief moments in its life, 

but for much of it, 

the soul will be asleep and there will be no memory. 

So, they do have a soul, it just has gone to sleep.

On Goodness

Rembrandt - The Prodigal Son

I am goodness,

The Inheritance of the Wise and Nobel.

I pasture the fields of the world springing

Brotherhood and sisterhood 

Throughout.

I walk with you 

In Kindness

And I hold the hand of the lost in sorrow.

I am what makes you shine with color,

Subtle as the land,

Vivid as water

And cool as the evening sky.

Don’t walk without me.

Don’t abandon me.

I am at every corner of the world.

I am the portal to the noblest part of you.

I Remember...

I remember reading about Leonardo da Vinci. 

A.R. Orage commented on him:

"Society is always creating monsters; 

because it is difficult to resist 

the inducements society offers.

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest of Europeans 

because he refused to become a specialist 

although promised much money. 

He would throw up the contract 

when he felt himself becoming unbalanced."

Da Vinci, ever experimenting, 

looking, pondering.

He never stayed still. 

Working with his kings.

How to come to a new level of understanding and being? 

In Rodney's chapter on Being 

from The Theory of Conscious Harmony, 

he writes regarding aim 

that

as Jeanne de Salzmann writes about, 

to have this 'background' ever present.
