LOVE AND LOVE ALONE...DO IT OR DIE UGLY

Blinding flash of the obvious: To feel disrespected and to force oneself to remain silent and think good thoughts of the other is just a high-toned self-determined objective. There is no win-win in self-determining to let the other one win, too, so we may actually win by calling us both winners. Duh.

A win-win is God entering our heart dissolving the discord, leaving peace for all behind. (It helps when we first invite God to do his thing...and mean it.) 

Interesting to me...immediately after my BFO, I turned to my study of the Sermon on the Mount. I am today at the very verses from the Sermon that set forth in black-and-white the quiet word...We have ceased fighting everything and everybody:

Matthew 5:38-42 You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also, and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.

There. The Word in a nutshell: We have ceased fighting everything and everybody. 

We need to recall those very words are in our How-To Manual, our Do-It-Or-Die-Ugly Primer. Meaning, we either do what we are taught, or we fall by the wayside.

This spiritual way, this how we do it, is the core of happy, joyous and free...which never would enter the reasoning mind as a good idea. We must go beyond the reasoning mind to the impersonal love of all.

We must go beyond reason to love. -- Thaddeus Golas

Thank you.
