On the Trail of Love
By: josgrafalternate title: The Spiritual Ecology of the Sun)
Love is pay-forward and pay-back, at once. . . .
It’s hard to turn away from spirit, and not become egotistic.
Although, the corollary is also true - that is, without love imbuing one’s spiritual wisdom, another form of egotistic destitution can play out.
What is functionality in an incarnation?
In other words, what is love? How does it work? - this heart of life essence, this living business? What would functionalism look like?
Shall I turn to my center, and strive to discover what love is?
Prayer: Love, what would you have of me? Here I am, love, what would you have me do? Teach me, lead me, guide me. Help me to know you, as you are.
One answer: Of those I encounter - strive to know them, as they are. Even beyond their own self-awareness.
Love is ever accessible.
Until we evolve further, we can only love to the edge of our development. Yet, love is, by nature, full. Fully evolved in itself.
We can strive to progress in wisdom, or strength. But love is not the same as these other two aspects of spirit, because love is, by nature, always fully evolved.
Still, I can embody it only to the extent my own progress, or evolution, will bear.
Love is, by nature, of perfect wholeness, fully developed. But a human receives the Impulse into the self gradually.
A white horse. Love rides a white horse.
Ask for love to enter all various activities. Dancing, painting, writing, relating, sleeping, working, meditating, Qi-gong, ?
Study the sun, if you would know love.
Someone said: Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.”
Sometimes.
Love transcends sympathy and antipathy, using empathy as its optimal vehicle.
ove knows what matters.
Let your center guide you, but listen closely because it whispers - like the wings of an owl in flight.
First Cause. Creative Forces.
The older we grow, the more we begin to love the wisdom revealed by life. In the wisdom revealed by life, man forms the seed of his next life as the spiritual core of his being ripens. But the deeds of love are not deeds which look for compensation in the next life. By everything we do out of love, we pay off debts. The only actions from which we have nothing in the future are those we perform out of true, genuine love. It is because men are subconsciously aware of this that there is so little love in the world. A soul must be very advanced before deeds can be performed from which nothing is to be gained for itself; but then the world profits all the more. Love is the moral” sun of the world. Interest in the earth's evolution is the necessary antecedent of love. A Spiritual Science without love would be a danger for humanity. Without sense-born love, nothing material comes into the world; without spiritual love, nothing spiritual. Creative forces unfold through love. We owe our existence to deeds of love wrought in the past. To pay off debts through deeds of love is therefore wisdom.”
