“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
It is one of the most famous suggestions in history.
How do you do that? How do you love your neighbor as yourself? How do you love yourself?
If you do not love yourself, can you even love your neighbor?
The only true way to love yourself, and therefore to love everyone else in your life, is to come to the realization that you are NOT a human
doing
. You ARE a human
being
and so is everyone else. What does that even mean? What are the implications of understanding it and remaining focused on that reality?
Most people judge themselves, and everyone else, based on what they
do
not on what they
be
. This is unproductive if your desire is to love yourself and love your neighbor, too.
It is easy to understand how focused people are on what they do
and
what is being done to them. It is so obvious. What we have done, and what has been done to us, are always in our face.
However, to focus on what we
be
is not easy. It is not obvious. It takes work and dedication to keep coming back to what we
be
. You have to be dedicated to a life of contemplating it, talking about it, immersing yourself in those thoughts and modalities which reinforce it.
We are so very aware of what we
do
. Do we even know what we
be
, what we ALL
be
?
We humans be equal. We humans be one. We humans be spirit. We humans be love.
We ALL bleed red. We ALL breathe the same air. We ALL are energy, matter and water. We ALL live, pay taxes, and die.
In our business, we are thankful for the first two. Are you thankful for the last one?
It is hard to be thankful about the fact that death awaits us all, isn’t it? However, it is THE truth.
When one embraces truths which are universal, like the list above, it causes forward movement in one’s thinking. It causes more experiential love of oneself.
Temperamentally, there are basically two types of human beings on the Earth, ones who are living and ones who are dying.
It has been said you only live once. That is not true. You only
die
once. We
live
everyday. Does your attitude indicate that you are living or dying?
When one embraces universal truths like we all live, pay taxes
and die
, it amazingly causes forward thinking.
Practice the thoughts of what we
be
throughout your day.
It will produce momentum within your soul to LIVE today, to be, to experience and understand what it means to love yourself for who you
be
, not for what you do or is being done to you.
