LIVING IN AN ACCEPTING WORLD

Love is the highest and holiest action because it always contains that which is not love within itself, it always and ever moves to include the unloving. -- Thaddeus Golas, "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment"

I've read "The Lazy Man's Guide" too many times to count, yet I nearly always find something I do not recall having read...underlined and highlighted as they may be. 

Golas's quote is especially meaningful to me today because I am stumbling and bumbling my way through the ever-deepening meaning of love. Seems that every time I get a new insight, I feel sure that This Is It...then I'm hit with yet another unlovable, another resistible which is just something that to my reasoning mind must be resisted, set straight, made right by me.

Loving the unlovable, accepting the unacceptable...ah, those are the impossibles to our mind's eye. We think they are obviously not right since they go against our basic instinct...i.e., to win (which we call "survival").

The hard lesson learning is that when we win, we lose. For winning is of the ego, and it is not that losing is of  God, it is that there is no win, there is no lose in an accepting world, a.k.a., The Peaceable Kingdom. And isn't that where our still more spiritual growth is aiming us? 

Thank you.
