Sending Love

Sending Love to That Which Feels Unlovable

Everyone is talking about how the world has gone crazy. It is the main topic in a lot of the podcasts that I watch. The world seems more polarized than ever. There is another possible war. The world's elites and governments are getting away with murder and massively raping the earth of her resources. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. AI has just really started booming.  Robots seem to be knocking on the world's front door in a really big way. 

A lot of these things have been this way for what seems to be a really long time though. We just didn't see it. There has been a war in every new generation. The churches have been screaming end of days for 2000 years.  Conspiracy Theorists say that the true history of the world has been hidden from us. But as much information that has gone from conspiracy to absolute truth lately, there is no telling what is true.  

I guess what I'm getting at is that there is a lot of things in the world that we are judging right now, or at least I know I am. But the judgments disturbe my spirit. They cause me to fear and hate that which I have judged as wicked and greedy. There have been major tragedies and injustices that have come into our awareness.  

I try to think of these things as arrows. As we go through life we have to stear our ship. Sometimes we stear our ship towards our desires, sometimes we stear it away from that which is not desirable. I believe we have to be the change we want to see in the world. If we see that there is war in the world and that is not what we desire, we must orient ourselves towards peace within. We must direct our thoughts towards the solution instead of the problem.  

We have 8 billion people on this earth who are lovely intelligent people. Create thought tanks, talk about solutions. Take action on those solutions. If you feel super passionate about this, that, or the other it is possible you are supposed to be part of the solution. 

The first step is always going to be to heal your own trauma around the issue first. Because if you are just going around throwing around hateful words, thoughts, and actions at the issue it just creates more momentum for that thing to continue.  But when we ply it with patience and love for the organism as a whole, realizing that as a world we have a cancer so to speak, we can heal it with a gentleness. We have to look at our own selves and see where we have been part of the problem.  

It's not easy to look at ourselves with unbiased constructive criticism.  The key is to not judge yourself for your past mistakes, and just realize you were a different person then.  Now that you can see there is room for improvement, move into awareness at first.  Just notice when you see yourself reacting as the old you, when you have time to reflect think about how you would like future you to handle the situation if it comes up again.  Try to think about the situation as if you weren't in it, but as if you were an outside observer.  Eventually you will start reacting in a way that is very natural and easy in the way you do want.  

The important thing to remember is that hurt people hurt people. Forgiveness is about healing our own psychy. When we have the disturbance in our field of hate, anger, and fear, it directly affects our health, and the health of the world. As within so, without, the kingdom of heaven in within you, and so is hell. Junk in, junk out as we used to say in computer class. When we install the right programs and software into our own psychy, we can start controlling the output. In other words we can start captaining our own ship. Our feelings and actions will be directed by our inner world instead of the outer one. 

When we take action on that wich is unlovable with love, we can start to be a part of the solution.  

Anyways, Have a Blessed Day!
