Love is only one word, but a most powerful word
with so many meanings and also no meanings. Love
is ‘What is’, and it also is what it is not.
Collectively we have lost touch with love and
the truth behind it and we have isolated this
most profound sense. We have all been born into
this world through our Mother’s womb and then we
all have been consciously born into this world
under the illusion of limitations. Out of our
limitations fear is born unconsciously in all of
us and then the ego is born. The ego’s main job
is to suppress the spirit which within the
spirit there is only love and unity. How can we
understand our ego or our spirit? It is this
understanding which will bring about, “What is”.
Our waking ego everyday consciously or
unconsciously creates the world we live in.
Certain powerful people in the world know that
we are born into a world of limitations either
unconsciously by the collective population or by
design. These certain powerful people know how
to feed and manipulate the ego. Out of this
manipulation fear is born and out of this fear,
division is its holy son. We are divided all
over the world with almost anything. The ego
loves division because the ego only can see the
world in the physical sense. The ego will not
let us go back into the spirit because it
believes what it views in the mirror is all that
is. Even saying this we are bringing about a
division between the ego and the spirit. Maybe
there needs to be a total understanding of the
significance of both or more importantly a total
understanding of everything in our world not
just the ego and the spirit.
As long as there is division, the ego will
thrive and we will never know that truth inside
all of us. The ego loves to attach titles and
names to itself, it loves to express that it is
from this country or I believe in this religion
or I have this much money in the bank or I am a
supermodel and so on. When we say such things do
we have a total understanding of these things or
is the ego segregating you from everything else?
When we see something remarkable or beautiful in
our world the ego still finds a way to drive a
wedge of division in our mind. When we see a
beautiful piece of art or unbelievable
craftsmanship, when does the ego interfere? One
example is let’s say when we see a beautiful car
or a beautiful person, we get a great sensation
from such beauty, but when does that great
sensation turn into, “I want to buy that car”,
or “I want to sleep with that person”? The
spirit inside us does not do such a thing
because it sees only love and never wants to
take advantage of such a great sensation. It is
the ego that brings the split in our mind,
sensation turns into greed not straight away but
in a very subtle way. The ego even divides
within itself; it is a very misunderstood
characteristic of the human psyche.
Maybe to best understand the ego would be to
examine our belief structures in our
environment. We need to step off the coin and
observe and understand ourselves and our
environment. With religion there seems to be a
total misunderstanding between each belief.
Religion used to stand for once upon a time what
was right and what was moral, but over time it
manifested into a gross form of bigotry. We have
to remind ourselves that even if we are to have
religion that most of them spring from the same
source. Look at our three major Semitic
religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, they
all come from the same source, ‘The Old
Testament’, and for some reason all three have
slaughtered each other for centuries. Why is
this? Out of all this religious confusion the
Atheist was born, the other side of the coin. An
Atheist is nothing more than another religious
expression, just somebody who wants to be part
of a group or sect, all the while pushing their
own beliefs. All religions including Atheism are
merely an expression of the ego, because what
the ego does is it protects whatever it thinks
it believes, so of course it will resist any
other alternative view. There may be a place in
our world for religion if only we could unite in
a partnership society, but as time has shown us
this is not possible with an ego centered mind.
Nationalism is another great form of religion.
We love to support our nation or we violently
oppose another. We never really understand the
significance of what it is to be part of a
nation, state or city. When we understand
Nationalism, we understand Imperialism is born
out of Nationalism; it’s just natural in the ego
to have personal gain. Personal gain in this
case is in the group sense, where we have rich
people getting richer, poor people getting
poorer and larger nations taking over smaller
nations, it’s basically history constantly
repeating itself. Out of this nationalistic
imperialistic behavior, the rebel is born, the
revolution.
There always seems to be a revolution that
opposes a certain government or regimes set of
beliefs all the while trying to promote their
own beliefs. But isn’t the rebel or the
revolution just the opposite side of the coin?
The answer is yes, the revolution is just the
opposite side of the coin, so all that truly
happens is the faces change and we have a new
set of rules to follow maybe to a lesser degree.
Hence we are still limited with new conditions
to follow and with new divisions for our mind.
The real revolution is a revolution within us,
consciousness.
In the end all a country, religion, revolution
and so on are, are just beliefs. It is only our
power of belief in our ego which creates the
world we choose to perceive. Our power of belief
in our ego had created the divisions in our mind
which keep our world and ourselves separate from
everything else. Sometimes we create such
divisions because we yearn for peace on Earth,
but the very fact we create a division in the
name of peace, is the reason we do not have
peace. It’s only another form of separation from
everything else. So we come back to our power of
beliefs which keep us limited and dividing. The
answer to why these beliefs keep us limited and
dividing is all in the word, “Belief”.
We have the power to believe in anything, but in
the end it is only a belief, it has no true
connection to the truth. This is why we say, “We
believe”, instead of. “This is the truth”. We
want love in our life but love has no division
or limitations, that’s the truth. Our ego is
what keeps us separated from everything else
which divides us from everything and holds us
back from true success.
Our ego views true success with our status in
society, be it through which car we own or how
big our bank account is, all the while holding
us back from the truth of, ‘What is’. This view
of success couldn’t be further from the truth.
To actually have a status in society higher than
somebody else is a division within itself. True
success is to understand on a quantum level our
true nature to consciousness and reality. The
knowledge of Quantum Physics has been suppressed
to the masses because of one paradigm shattering
fact which proves through science that we are
all one. This means that we are one with the
plants, animals and each other, and this is not
limited to just Earth we are also one with the
cosmos, we are all part of one massive
intergalactic tango. This is what it means to
step into the infinite, we have no limits, and
the universe is ours. Consciousness is how our
dreams become reality. We need to appreciate the
food and the life the Earth gives us. We need to
love all the animals and each other because to
harm or hate one another would be to harm or to
hate oneself. This is what it means to have true
success, to be one with everything in our world,
because when we are one with everything else
there is only love.
This astonishing truth will bring about peace in
our world, inner and outer, but we have to
understand that our consciousness creates our
reality. So this means if we are all one, it
only takes one person to have a radical change
in their consciousness to change the whole
pattern of the collective consciousness and the
universe. This means if we want peace on Earth,
we have to become peace on Earth. We have to
become the change we want in this world. We have
to change the way our emotions and feelings are
towards everything else. We have to become that
Loving, Compassionate and Forgiving person, and
then we will know true freedom.
‘What is’, is only a change of consciousness
away. Unconsciously we all know ‘What is’, but
we have all been divided up and separated from
our true oneness. There is only ‘What is’. ‘What
is’, is the greatest miracle there is. The
miracle is you and you who are love which
is…‘What is’.
