Love Under All Conditions




There are people who wish to enjoy God
and his highest manifestation, Love, 
but often only in one way and not in another.
They only wish to possess God or Love through
one sense of devotion but not another.
Whoever wants to receive God or Love
must receive them equally in all ways,
under all conditions, in tears as in joy.
Always and Everywhere. 

To presume otherwise would be for the creature
to dictate to the creator, the source of all things 
higher and lower.

Our roles are to the bring the Creator
and the Creature together and to everyone
who introduces his mother to his future mother in law.
The enormous difficulty of this must be obvious.

C influence works on us from within and evokes the Soul.
People work on us from without and evoke mechanics.

The Moments...

 

AI Image



"The moments of real suffering are very short, 
but we do sometimes have a sudden vision 
of what we are really like 
and that is great suffering, 
but there is a curious thing about it: 
it can turn to a kind of BLISS…
after the suffering you have bliss. 
There are not so many moments, 
but they are precious and they stand out."

Being Metamorphosis

Gemini Ai Generated


Recently, I had an experience where I saw
a familiar scenario unfolding, and then
suddenly it was as if I used the "stop" exercise,
and everything rearranged itself into a
different view, a new meaning.

And I could make the choice to act in a
different way, responding to a better level
of understanding. And in a few words,
I was able to diffuse a possible argument
I might have had, and give a deeper more
compassionate response, which went in a
very productive direction.

An example, perhaps, of new being?
Born of long observation, perhaps?

All of a sudden the pieces of the kaleidoscope
fell into a lovely pattern of understanding,
and the possible struggle was released into a
new realm of action through this new understanding.

Maurice Nicoll would say that the new
understanding (metanoia) gave birth to
being (metamorphosis.)
