Religion and unconditional love

[Guest guest]

I agree with all you had to say Jonathan and thanks. I have found looking into

the beliefs of other religions has open me up to seeing even more meaning into

my own religious beliefs. It has not taken away but expanded.

Sometimes there are rough spots to get through and many of us here have found

that talking about it helps, but can also cause emotions to get unbalanced for a

while. It is all good.

I am back on smooth waters again and I pray that is it the same for all. The

waves are a great way to get things stirred up and out into the open, but is so

peaceful and blissful when it goes back to smooth waters. We need both...the

smooth water for rest and reflection and the rough water for growth, cleansing

and healing. Some of those dirty spots takes getting slammed against the rock to

get them up and out. My experience.

 

blessings & love to all,

Linda

and that every religion ultimately points the `user' in the same direction.

Each and every religion has a set of filters attached that have originated from

human interpretation or from the physical plane. In this physical mode we are

limited but have the wonderful ability to make choices irrespective of whether

those choices are correct or not (again the mind driven aspect of our being

coming through!). Hard that it may be for some to see initially, but as those

filters are progressively removed and our understanding and comprehension

clears, that unity of direction also becomes evident and the `tussle' between

different beliefs (on the physical plane) starts to dissipate.

unconditional love. Again that term `love' is misinterpreted by many and bears

little if any relationship to love in the context of human emotion.

Unconditional `love' is a clear understanding of how we all inter-relate on all

planes in the knowledge of who and what we truly are. With that understanding

forgiveness becomes a `given' as there is really no other way in the light of

unconditional love. Short and simple statement with the getting to that point

being considerably more complex. chrism has on many occasions thrown out the

teaser questions of `who are you', `what are you', `what is your purpose'.

Again seemingly simple questions but the full understanding and comprehension

that goes with the answers takes one progressively closer to what unconditional

love really is. Synonymously with that realization comes the true understanding

of forgiveness, and the management of the ego – the collective major keys to

understanding!

opinion or hurt to cloud your ability to see beyond the filters. This grouping

of people from all walks of life and backgrounds has been drawn together by a

similar resonance. In so meeting or being brought together we are afforded the

unique opportunity to compare and contrast perceptions and beliefs, to share and

teach, but above all to learn. Irrespective of where we have come from we can

all learn from and teach each other. Accompanying that experience is the

removal of the filter system. Egos will be `tweaked' as we have all come here

with preconceived ideas. But that is a signal to manage those egos and to

search for those keys and find our true selves.
