Hi Phil,

 

do you believe that this your childish words would

lead you to some

deeper peace and love....?....

 

i don't think so....

It did indeed! That realization gave me a new

lightness and freedom. I had

become stuck in the mire for a time. Strangely, the

end result is not the

expression of gentle words but rather an absolute

intolerance for the egoic

nonsense that goes on here. Is that ego? Of course!

But it hides behind nothing,

and that is the difference. There's no judgment and I

really do understand it

and it's purpose, but I notice that I go through

cycles where I desperately

need to hear the truth, even if it's me who is

speaking it.

 

Love is not what most think it is at all. It is not

all gentleness and

sweetness. It is truth. The sword of truth is love,

and contained within it's

violence is a remarkable peace borne of freedom as

well.

 

Phil

 

very good Phil...Althought we are forever trying to

bend love`s qualities into a kind of self serving

principle, it is as you say: the sword of truth.

Yet, It is a tender fire compared to the burning fire

of Karma.

I don`t know why but you remind me a book I read a

long time ago and thoroughly enjoyed : Michael Naimy

<the book of Mirdad>..
