What would love do?

"O Love, O pure deep Love, be here, be now,

Be all – worlds dissolve into your
stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with your brighter
than cold stares –
Make me your servant, your breath, your core." - Rumi

What would love do?

Ever asked yourself that question?

See how your day is transformed when you flash yourself awake, before you act.

The next time the phone rings, take a breath, and ask yourself: how would Love answer? Then, let Love answer, no matter who is calling. Love always knows what to say.

What would Love say to the people you meet today: to your family, your friends, to the dog, the bird, the people on the street? The guy who drives you crazy at work? The beggar on the corner? Love is not guilty or dogmatic. Love knows what to do.

Love is not a wimp. Love stands up for justice, for truth, for dignity, and sometimes that means being Fierce. Fierce Love, Fierce Compassion, Fierce Gentleness. Fierce Sensitivity. Don't insult Love with a hallmark imitation. We're talking about the real deal here. Love is able to remain loving, unconditionally, in every circumstance, without exception. That's fierce.

Sound like too much work to be Love all day? Then wait until it's really needed-the moment irritation or anger or fear arises. Stop for a moment before you respond. Look at what it is that's really triggering you. Can you approach this problem with freshness, with aliveness, as it is, not with a big bundle of pre-conceptions that stops you from seeing the other as a real human being, someone who suffers and dreams, just like you?

Before you respond to anyone or anything, ask yourself: what would Love do?

Awaken yourself to Love-in a flash.

Comment by lotusalivelight on February 7, 2009 at 9:31am: For me, the chakra lights feel more true to me in their counter-clockwise motion, returning to the roots of all things, and letting life spring from the source instead of me alone, and "Light enters my body from All directions," is very renewing, and alleviates fears. (This is a screenshot from one of my friends vids on YouTube, where my Channel appears under my ipeace name.)

Comment by lotusalivelight on February 7, 2009 at 9:12am: I don't understand 'cold glares,' and find far too many in the world!! I do not understand it... I do nothing but 'right-minded fierceness' about how we might better equalize and balance with life and one another, and live in harmonious justice and joy. Most people do not want to hear it, or do not understand it... There are so few responsible leaders to really help us create this for ourselves. It's been a frustrating, lonely, and disappointing ride with these humans!

I came to clean-up an old misunderstanding, that has repeated itself, but is getting cleared up, with lots of trepidation on my part. I do follow the understanding of how to work on myself, which I greatly enjoy and resonate with, and share with my fellow friends... It is simply these actions of the Flower of Life (my avatar represents it) Petals: 1) Sincerity, 2) Truthfulness, 3) Benevolence (kindness), 4) Justice (respect all life as one's own), and 5) Courtesy. It is the only way toward Life without death, to transparentize with 3rd dimensional life and density, and to go beyond 'here' with "IT" into the greater light of self that IS "IT," the great all that is, "I AM..." and into higher treasures of light realms within all of us, right here, right now. These petals are all that "IT" does for us, and increases IT for us when we join with it, by knowing, sharing and being only our truest selves, what we prefer, knowing others as self, allowing all others the same freedoms within the confines of actively doing the Flower OF LIFE... That for me, is what I love to do most, and I do it everyday... Now that's 'fierce!' (Be gentle with yourself if you see self-wisdom to follow this path as it is a most difficult, but extremely worthwhile path!) This understanding, as I have added it here is from The Classic on Yin Convergence, Taoist Classics, vol. 3 All the best to all of you here on ipeace.
