Perception & Unconditional Love
The revolution is, if I see something in this world that is not right, LET ME LOVE IT, and loving it wakes up the consciousness within it, and that brings it to an end.
But what we usually say is, “I can’t validate this behavior by giving it love because I’d be giving it what it hasn’t earned.”
We don’t give people love because they’ve earned it. We give people love because we see how deeply they have suffered, and if you can see how deeply people suffer, if not to empath their heart but to watch how undeniably they rip you to pieces, your ego will say, “No! I don’t love them. They don’t deserve it, screw them! I’m going to withhold my love until they act more appropriately, until they earn it, and I’m going to teach them a lesson.”
And when you do that, you shut love out of your heart by withholding it from another.
Someone betrays me, they get more love.
Someone appreciates me, they get more love.
Someone criticizes me, they get more love.
Everyone gets more love. That’s the game I play.
Everyone’s going to come to terms with this in their own way. My strategy is very clear. My strategy isn’t even about choice and will. My journey has gone so deeply there isn’t really choices anymore for me.
My strategy is simple. My strategy is I don’t give a shit how you treat me. I really don’t. I’m just going to love you--like serving soup at a shelter, and you can smile or frown at me, and I’m going to fill your bowl either way... and feed you.
Why should you care how people treat you when they are only showing you the war within themselves? They are only pushing you away to say, “Hey, I don't have room in my heart for you. I need space for all the stuff I am reconciling.”
They are not rejecting you. They are saying: “I don’t have time for your innocence. I got a war going on.”
People who push you away are pushing you away from the battlefield: “Hey, you don't want to get any closer, there’s some shit going on.” People’s rejection is a like a barbwire fence trying to give you the first sign of, you do not want to get any closer. This fence is here to support and help you. When people lash out at you, that’s their way of saying: “Hey, if you spent more time with me, you’d be far worse.”
So you go, “Thanks for the clue. I’m going to go home and love my little My Little Pony energy. Hopefully that transfers into your battlefield, and may the war within you come to an end.”
