Born Into Hate, Learning To Love

Posted on by

This next story is reflective of many, as we were born into fear and anger towards our Brothers and Sisters. Growing up, we are collectively taught to hate one another. It is time to put down the swords of hate and embrace a life filled with Love.

The Warrior living in a new reality, did not always live in the extraordinary. She once lived ordinarily as a Pilgrim, aimlessly searching for something greater. Her life was as everyone else instructed her to follow and she ate what everyone told her to eat. Her church was a product of what everybody believed to be the ‘one true’ church and her government was a natural enemy. As a Pilgrim she essentially lived in a sorrow led reality, believing in what everyone around her instructed. This was unsettling to her and she needed to find a new reality. Where does the Pilgrim turn to, when the mainstream tells her how to live? Who to associate with and which words to speak.? How does the Pilgrim cut strings to her reality as a marionette?

Born into hate, left to Love…Ani Po

It is the first step which proves to be the most difficult:

The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

~Lao Tzu

Knowing this, the Pilgrim must take a chance on what is burning within. There is a natural
burning of desire within each and every one of us, but we often fail to embrace our highest desires of being free…living the life we were meant. Without that first step, the Pilgrim would have remained in the Reality of a Pilgrim and never come to know reality as a Warrior. It is time to take that first step…the first step to becoming a Warrior of Light.

Giving up Her prejudices, embracing oneness, our Warrior emerges victorious for all humanity. Victorious as she becomes a beacon of Light everlasting. Born into Hate, Growing into Agape. As she learns to Love unconditionally, her reality transformed into Paradise.

Stepping Into the Canvas with Love in hand. When everything else falls around us, remain held to that which reigns over all…Love. If we fill our hands with anything other than Love, there can be no room for that which we most desire. With Love in hand we blend beautiful colors, contributing a rainbow of colors within the Canvas of Life. As the Rainbow emerges within, So shall without.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Today millions of Americans will be celebrating their independence. On this day in 1776, the United States of America Declared its independence from Great Britain. It was not until nearly 200 years later that the United States government would make it a federal holiday.

As we celebrate our independence may we go deeper, deeper within the self. As we travel into the self, we find a false sense of freedom. Beyond this false sense of freedom, lay true freedom. Detaching from the outside world, reconnecting with the inner self, and accepting our true identity.

As we dive deeper into the self, self-realization becomes this… We are only as free as we believe we are. If we subscribe to the majority of thinking “we are free,” then we are not free. If we subscribe to the masses in thinking we can find happiness via material things, then we have not found happiness. True happiness lay within the self…we need not subscribe to any other beliefs but the self.

We act as though comfort and luxury are the chief requirements in life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.~Charles Kingsley

The kingdom of heaven is within us all, why would we not look upon it? As we go deeper within itself, the universe dissolves. Dissolving this universe we unravel a new universe. A universe of freedom, truth, and pure love. In this universe there is no fear, anger, disbelief… Only Love.

In this universe of love we find peace, compassion, faith, hope, and pure bliss. Diving into the self, uncovering all the untruths,…only to rediscover truth. Let me say this or that is the way… As Lao Tzu said…it is not the way. Soren Kirkegaard said, “once you label me you negate me.” The way does not have a label, description, or if subscription for that matter… It nearly is The Way.

Stepping into the Canvas in freedom. Whether in America or another country, we too can have freedom. Whether we are in a democratic society or communist, we can have freedom. Freedom does not exist on the outside but it exists within the inside… Go there now, be free! Happy Fourth of July everyone!
