Hate, Fear, Love or....DIVINE LOVE.

Hate is defined as an intense or passionate dislike usually deriving from fear, anger or a sense of injury.

Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection.

The metaphysical definition of Love is that it is a divine attribute; it is an idea in the One Mind. God is Love and Love is God, or a quality in Being. The difference between Divine Love and human love is that Divine Love is  broad and unlimited, a universal and harmonizing power. Human love is based on personality and is selfish, lawless and fickle.

So what does this all mean?

Hatred is such a wasted emotion. Sure, I say there are certain things I "hate." This continuous rain for one thing. Of course, I am sure my friends in California would give thanks for some of it. I also hate the injustices that are rampant in our culture. Injustices that I really feel come from an underlying fear of the unknown.

Fear of the unknown. How many of us are somewhat fearful going into a dark room that we've never entered before? Will we trip over something? Is there someone lurking there? Fear of meeting new people. Will they like me? Will I like them?

Jerry Jampolsky says fear is the absence of love. I agree but I also know that it can be rather challenging to feel a deep affection for people you fear or who have committed a horrible deed against their fellow man. So what does one do?

This is where God comes in. God, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad. Turn to the deity who best emulates Divine Love for you and be with this Presence. Let Divine Love permeate every cell of your being. Allow Divine Love to be your driving force. This does not mean we condone acts of violence. It means we pour so much Love into the fear and hatred that seems to be defining us that it MUST evaporate into oblivion.

Today I send Love and Blessings to the people of Charleston, SC. I also send Love and Blessings to those people who hate. They hate for reasons only they know. May Divine Love challenge their beliefs and bring them to an epiphany of Love.

ALL LIVES MATTER! 

Namaste'
