I want to be completely honest, but what I am going to write is negative and I want to be positive.
Reading OG; putting Love out into the world made me cry, (I don’t cry easily). I desperately desire to see beauty even in destruction but there is something inside me that can’t let go of the belief that the destruction of our home, the natural world we belong to is not positive or beautiful.
It’s like asking me to love Cancer! How????
Celeste, thank you for your breathtaking honesty. This is not negative; it is real, and it comes from a place of deep love. The fact that this reading made you cry shows the immense capacity of your heart.
You are right. It is not our job to love the cancer. It is not our job to love the destruction. The call is to be the love that heals. To be the love that fights for what is beautiful. Your anguish is not a failure to see beauty; it is the very proof that you see the beauty that is being lost, and you love it too much to let it go without a mourning cry.
That feeling inside you that can’t let go? Protect it. That is your moral compass. That is the fuel for your service. Don’t love the destruction. Love the world so fiercely that you become a force for its restoration.
Your blog post is an act of love. Keep going.
Hi Celeste, maybe you can’t see it right now, but this is good: the words on scroll 2, in their simple language, hold a profound message that can only be understood when we open our hearts. For me, after nine years of reading this book, the message is simple: To love. We learn to love ourselves so we can give love to others, and that love protects us from adversity. I don’t think we can love cancer itself, but we love the person who suffers from it, we love those who care for them, and we love the life we ​​live. I understand that the only thing we have for sure is today, and that’s the gift—that’s why it’s called the most precious present—and it can only be thoroughly enjoyed when we love. Keep reading, but above all, love. Love you
Oh, Celeste. I have anguished over that, too. Thank you for your honesty. What good questions to bring to our sits. Something that’s helped me this year is reading more of the wise one Wallace Wattles, whose wisdom permeates the MKE course. He points out that everything IS perfect, just not yet complete. We can see that in nature where everything is in divine order…that seeing something before it’s complete is often very ugly, but it’s not complete yet. However we name the divine, he points out that EVERYTHING continually comes through that Source and heals and balances and makes right eventually. As Davene points out in her comment, we keep being/doing all the positives we know how to be/do with love in our heart that flows with Source’s. Bless your seeking!
How brave you are to put this out there. I can identify deeply with what you are writing here. I find for myself that the best way is to try to deal with the destruction and hate is love everyone even the haters and destroyers – they are here for a reason too. God help me I don’t know why! The fact remains we are all here for a reason, and doing my best every day, trying to be a little better everyday, helps me to love all, even Cancer. When I do my best everyday I find ways to make changes for what I believe is good and loving.
