WE MUST GO BEYOND REASON TO LOVE

Remember that My followers are to be a peculiar people, separated from among others. Different ways, a different standard of living different customs, actuated by different motives. Pray for Love.--"God Calling," April 11

[O]ur natural state of consciousness: pure love -- "Word to Live By," Eknath Easwaran, April 11

That our natural state of consciousness is pure love explains why My followers are to be a peculiar people, separated from others, etc.

That takes a blinding flash of the obvious to grasp, which on first reading might seem to be fairly simple...until we begin our attempt to live it. The Sermon on the Mount, at Matthew 5:43, spells out the how-to...short form: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Whoa! Not so simple now.

Here's a hint why it is so difficult to honestly live our natural state of consciousness of pure love: To the reasoning mind, those who persecute us are those who disagree with us; those we disagree with are just wrong.

That brings us to the very state we need to be to get rocketed into the fourth dimension, or out of our reliance on our reasoning mind, our own brain-power, into reliance on our natural state of consciousness of pure love. We recall that the hardest thing life will ever ask of us is that we change our mind. Now we learn that really means we must needs exchange our minds. Or be stuck forever in either/or, right/wrong...the dual consciousness of me vs. the other. There is no God there...there is no love there.

The ever and always answer: We must go beyond reason to love.

Thank you.
