There’s a lot of talk these days about the choice we have to make – personally and collectively – between fear and love. And there’s a lot of confusion about what love is.
What Is Love
Most of us have been conditioned to think of love as something nice that we do for someone else in order to make them feel good (or make ourselves feel good!).
Love often conjures up images of sweet little puppies, innocent children, ever-lasting romance, and a world in which nothing “bad” happens. But I believe this kind of “pink bubble” love isn’t real and it doesn’t create real change.
Real love has the power to heal and make whole. Real love goes way beyond “good” and “bad” to hold both polarities in equilibrium. Real love is the ability to see the bigger picture and do whatever is needed to restore harmony and balance.
Tangible Love
I prefer to call it Love in Action. Love in Action means a love that is practical. It's not only a rainbow-colored Universal Love that prays for peace but a love that is able to "get its hands dirty" in the human realm.
It's a love that cherishes the physical vehicle of our soul because a healthy body is more able to carry out God's work. And it’s a love that thinks ahead and starts creating now what future generations will need.
Oneness Of Life
Love in Action is an expression of the Divine Mother ray that is the new vibration of consciousness coming through today. The Divine Mother is earthy and will do whatever it takes to take care of all her children. She is rooted in the material realm and knows that real change happens when we put our spirituality into action.
The Divine Mother is here to heal the wounds of humanity that have created separation and caused us to forget our oneness with all Life.
We see this coming through in many ways, in particular in the ever-increasing environmental movement that addresses our rape of the planet. And we see it in the rising attention to economic and monetary issues in both the first, second and third world.
Let’s Talk About Money
I like to believe that we are changing the way we think about and use money. Our unconscious beliefs around money have created a fear-based scarcity model of economics that has resulted in a huge divide between the rich and poor.
Those of us who are waking up to the consciousness of our times, are realizing that greed, self-protectiveness, corruption and the "profit at all costs" motto have become embedded in our money transactions.
It's time to bring to light our negative thinking and cleanse the way we use money. Because money in service to Love becomes an incredibly powerful tool for changing the world!
Can you imagine if each of us had access to all the wealth we needed? Can you imagine if each of us understood that abundance is our true nature and that scarcity is a lie created by ego to keep us small and disempowered?
Can you imagine that instead of "profit at all costs" we aligned ourselves to "for the benefit for all mankind"? Can you imagine if all our businesses, corporations, media and entertainment industries served Love instead of ego?
I can imagine it, because I see a move towards the merging of spirituality and business, philanthropy and economics, unity-consciousness and creativity.
Service To The World
Ultimately, Love in Action is about using the ego in service to the greater whole. It’s not that we should get rid of ego, but that we should not let it take over at the expense of the tenderness of our hearts.
The ego is a fantastic tool; it is the “executive” function of the psyche, that part of us that takes action based on available information. When that information comes from a fear-based set of rules, we have self-centred behaviour that creates scarcity and division.
But when that information comes from our higher selves – that part of us that is whole and at one with all life – then we have Love in Action.
