A thread to start a meditation on universal love.

[Cleita]

A silly joke goes:

I interviewed a cannibal
His hair was dark and wavy
He said he loved his fellow men
Especially with gravy.

This is not the love of mankind that is expected of us. LOL On a more serious note, this is not only about romantic love or sexual love, but about agape.

It comes from the Universe and from the Creator. It states that the Creator loves all her Creation, which are her children, as a mother does. Motherhood after all is an expression and a gift from the Creator for her children to experience the same love that she does.

So in light of the hateful things going on in the world today and of humanity hating their fellow human beings, this is not the experience in attitudes towards our fellow human beings that the Creator wants us to experience. She want us to love all her children like she does. This means all of her children, including all the different species we share her Garden with, Earth, that she built for all of us to thrive in.

She wants us to love our fellow humans in these ways…

… love all children of course, even the children of our enemies.

… love the elderly who need our help.

… love those who are less fortunate than us, the poor, the handicapped, those with mental disabilities, those whose ethnicity and culture are different from ours.

…love those who have more than we do, the rich and powerful.

… and hardest of all she asks us to love those who have wronged us and hate us because they too are her children and she wants us to love all our brothers and sisters.

Her promise is that if we all extend our love to each other and take care of her gift, our Garden Earth, there will be peace, harmony and abundance for everyone and everything.

If we don’t, it allows the spiritual agents of discord, hate, war and suffering to enter Her Garden and spread their cancer to all of us. Remember when you judge or hate or hurt another human you are doing this to one of the children of the Creator who loves them as much as She loves you.

Please add your thoughts to this.

I think this is a wonderful idea. I tend to have the hardest time loving those who harm others. I take it personally, however I have done my share of hurting others even if unintentionally so I understand the concept perfectly. You are so correct and I am happy to be reminded as often as possible. Thank you for the reminder.

3. There is a place where all life is one

I have been to it a few times, during deep meditation. There, all life sings a lovesong to God, and the song goes Ommmmm (atleast for me it does). I join in the song with them, knowing in that moment that all is well in the world.
The separation between us does not exist there; we all share in the eternal joy of being. When I return to normal consciousness, my body feels lighter and quieter than before. This is one of my favorite memories, one that keeps me going through the tough times. Your post reminded me of that beautiful place, Cleita, so thank you!

4. Meditation for Our Government

by Corinne McLaughlin
(Since Congress is making decisions daily that affect every aspect of our lives, we suggest the following meditation and blessing. For those in other countries, please feel free to adapt this to your own situation).

Begin by taking a few deep breaths to breathe in peace and stillness; exhale and release all stress and tension….

Align with your highest self or soul and invoke the presence of the Divine by whatever name you know that transcendent reality….

Now visualize the Capitol Building, the U.S. Congress, and see all our representatives from both parties meeting together to discuss current legislation…. Visualize the entire Congress surrounded and filled with light….See light penetrating all the dark places so nothing is hidden….

Ask that any and all negative influences be removed from our representatives, so that each can align with his or her highest self….

Now visualize all our representatives thinking clearly, …. acting compassionately and wisely,….and making decisions that serve the greatest good for the greatest number of people, regardless of their party affiliations…..

Close the meditation by asking for blessings from the Divine source for all members of Congress to strengthen, guide and protect them.
