THE KARMIC REQUIREMENT OF LOVE
“Love is the most universal, formidable and mysterious of all the cosmic forces.” de Chardin
Regarding love and karma at its most inclusive;
God’s love does not seek worth, God’s love creates worth.
God is not a test of love, God's love is not a test.
The Creators loves us all and all of the other Beings of nature. Karma is built as a default into the soul so that we are accountable to our-Selves (as in Higher Self and the law of cause and effect. God continues to love us in spite of our failings. S/He wishes us to return whole just as the prodigal son or daughter did in the scriptures.
If the law does not serve love do not serve the law.
The Ancestors do not tell us to disobey the law because the penalties could be spiritually counterproductive. We do not serve an unjust law if we have right thoughts, intent and opinions even if we cannot do anything about it. During these crazy times the only recourse we may have is to vote and hope for the best.
Those on the other side of the veil in the Astral loose free will. The only way they can exercise their intent is through the free will of a living loved one or another one chosen for them. In this way they can do service and complete work they never did in their previous life time.
It is a loving gesture to help them by allowing them to help us. Love is the catalyst that allows them to cross the veil between worlds and send messages of support.
What is not sought by the heart, do not seek What is not given with the heart do not offer What is not received with the heart do not take in…
Determine well your heart’s desire for in releasing your intention its energy will effect its holiness or unholiness.
But I say to you; deeds of love are worth as much as all the commandments of the law… not learning but doing (service) is the chief thing.” Talmud
"We are here to help others, what on earth others are here for I do not know." Auden
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Rumi
“Love implies generosity, care, not to hurt another, not to make them feel guilty, to be generous, courteous, and behave in such a manner that your words and thoughts are born out of compassion.” Krishnamurti
Love embraces compassion, empathy and forgiveness.
We need to be compassionate with those younger souls who maybe further back along the spiritual spiral than we are. We may have been even worse in prior lifetimes.
“Forgiveness is the most completing gift we can experience for we all have its sweet need.” J. O’donahue
“We are all climbing toward the summit of our heart’s desires. Should the other climber steal your sack and your purse and wax fat on the one and heavy on the other, you should pity him. The climbing will be harder for his flesh and the burden will make his way longer. And should you in your leanness see his flesh puffing upward, help him in a step; it will add to your swiftness.” Anonymous
The yogis say that the most difficult chakra to open is the heart chakra. Kabbalah teaches that the student who has mastered Tiferet - the heart of the Tree of Life and the sephirah (energy center) of love - can then teach him/herself.
“Love heals people… both the ones who give and the ones who receive it.” Karl Menninger
“Only love can generate the healing fire.” Agnes Sanford
The San Bushmen healers say that to be a powerful healer one must love everyone no matter what you think of them.
This is love as a commitment, not necessarily a feeling or a sentiment. One also need not like them or have anything more to do with them other than giving them a helping hand in that moment.
In other words the yoga greeting - "Namaste" - I see the divinity in you. We all are made in the image of the Divine and even the worst of us, have a spark of divinity within us - hidden or not.
The Ancestors expand on the teaching - love your neighbor as yourself and say that this may not always fit the person you are attending. That individual may not want to be loved in the way that you love yourself. Rather we should rather love them as they would like to be loved without enabling them.
This applies especially to those close to us, those whom you do not intend to walk away from afterwards. To them the Ancestors urge; of love, be a little more careful.
I have been given more songs on love by the Ancestors than any others for good reason. If we can love fully all the other requirements of karma come naturally.
You will come from doubt to belief, from belief to understanding, from understanding to knowing and from knowing to feeling.
This is the way.
Concerning romantic love we need to ask ourselves three questions:
Are we in love with this person?
Do we love this person and if so for what reason? Is it because of how they look to us, what they bring to us or what they do for us?
Is this love or lust - the heart chakra's energy or the second chakras "chemical" energy?
We cannot mess with chemistry but chemistry can mess with us!
