Silence, Love, Grace part 2

human love versus Divine love. human love is what we think


love is. divine love is a constant persistent acceptance of every being in the universe fully wholy totally as the other being is and loving them because they are the way they

are. Divine love is allowing the other one to be the way the other one wants to
be. divine love is seeing everyone equally, and I think that is the test of how Divine our love is. is it the same for every person we meet every day. is our love for those who are

opposing us as strong as our love is for those who are supporting

us. Divine love is unconditional and is for everyone alike. I guess the greatest example of it is Christ with his teachings

of turn the other cheek, love your

enemy and so
forth. if we as a nation were to practice this we can make
every apparent enemy of ours completely impotent just by loving
them. they would be powerless to do any harm to

us, but we would have to do it as a

nation at least the the great majority of the people would have to do that. love itself is something we can't turn on and turn off either we have it or we don't have it and it's impossible to love one person and hate another.
to the degree that we hate anyone to that degree we love the

others. our love is no greater than our hatred is for any one

person. what we call love is simply need for that person. if

we say I love this person but not the next we we feel that we need this person and therefore we'll be nice to this person so we can get what we want, but that's not

love. human love is selfish Divine love is completely

selfless.
the methods we use should be the ones that suit Us

best, the methods that we like we are able to gain most from

therefore each one should follow that method which he likes

best. all methods will eventually lead to the one method

of self- Investigation who am I what am

I and when that question is fully answered that is the end of the of the line. there's nowhere else to go once we discover who we are. we discover that we are infinite beings omnipotent omniscient omnipresent so the outer teacher pushes us toward the inner teacher which is nothing but we revealing our real self to ourself. that which we have been seeking over these centuries outwardly in the world has always been right with us all the time closer than flesh


it's always been the I that I am. we foolishly have been looking away from it. the moment we start turning our attention toward it the moment we start looking inwardly we begin to discover who and what we are we should continue this until it's full complete and discovering who we are is the same as discovering that we are not the ego we are not that limited

being because we have strayed so far from the absolute

knowledge it's almost necessary for us to start on the

negative side of eliminating the ego to get enough of it out of the way so that we can begin to see the self that we

are. if we work on ego elimination we should always balance that with getting. quiet worshiping the Masters, dropping into the self, reading inspirational writings. if we work too long or too much on the ego we get caught up up with it, it

becomes real to us, it becomes too real and then instead of letting go of it we begin to try to sustain it. so anytime we are working on any
method of eliminating the ego we should always balance it with a
positive method of dropping into the self into the quietness and to the feelings of bliss so that we don't validate the ego too
