Unconditional Love

Lately what has been on my mind is how we treat our body reflects how we treat each other and vice versa. The biggest illusion is that we can be healthy, safe and happy if we reject, destruct and eliminate what appear to be dangerous and life threatening. The natural cycle contains birth, life and death. Our fear of death results in a life full of suffering and the excessive need to produce more and consume more in order to maintain life and birth.

I appreciate the fact that allopathic medicine helps treat symptoms and conditions which need an immediate relief. I also appreciate organized, well functioned public safety services. But when they become the protocol, the right and preferred way to live safely and healthily we are stuck in the paradigm of fear and defensiveness.

We do not see a message of peace on the mainstream medias, we see the message of fear. Our leaders prescripe military actions. Our doctors prescripe drugs and invasive procedures. The reaction to fear is to remove what is being feared. Rejecting what is being feared is hatred. Hate and rejection are the cause of diseases, cancers, poverty, criminals and terrorists. Using violence and destruction to end suffering is ineffective because it's dealing with the effects and not the cause.

Love is both the prevention and the cure.

When we live in a paradigm of fear we perceive sickness and diseases, criminals and terrorists as separate from who we are. This logic causes us to sedate, destruct and eliminate those which are parts of us. The way we treat cancer is the same way we treat criminals and terrorists. We use drugs, chemotherapy and radiation to kill bad cells. We use guns, ammunitions, lethal injection and nuclear weapons to kill bad people. Yet we continue to face more cancers and terrorism as we continue to come up with ever more powerful medical and military weapons.

On the other hand, the love paradigm sees bad health and bad people as an integral part of our lives. They allow the cultivation of strength, creativity, spiritual maturity, compassion and unconditional love. In fact, there is no such thing as good or bad because we need to experience contrasts in order to live an expansive and fulfilling life. I look at nature and I conclude that nature is at time volatile and violence. But all the time all is well and there is an unending stream of life even as death continues to happen.

Living in love and unity does not mean that we do not act. It means that we act responsibly rather than re-actively. Instead of spending most of our resources in defensive weapons and medical machinery we should at least spend half of that amount on promoting healthy eating, natural medicine, abundant energy and fuels, less spending, more family time, uniting religious forces...and so many more positive, responsive action that cultivate a shift of the mainstream consciousness from segregation to unity.

Whether we live in the fear paradigm or love paradigm we will experience birth, old age and death. The only difference is that our life experience is one of bitter suffering or one of sweet appreciation. We can continue to suffer and many of us do. Or we can embrace all of our experience pleasurable or painful as grace. We can build our life and community with love and acceptance rather than destroy with hate and rejection.

Our physical limitation and suffering do not have to cause or equate mental, emotional and spiritual suffering which escalate human demise. Nature always smile at us with compassion as it looks upon us through our own construction and destruction. Nature gives birth then destroy our body. Nature is here to serve and heal us at every juncture of our life from birth to death if we allow its natural rhythm to take course. Let’s not suffer unnecessary and beyond what nature has intended. Let’s make a shift from fear to love and embrace all parts of ourselves and each other as natural - not good or bad.

Nature and our true nature are unconditional love.
