Love Revolutionaries

Dear Beloved,

During this time in human history, polarization appears to be running rampant. Whether it’s political division giving birth to hate and the creation of enemies, cyberbullying, road rage incidents culminating in injury or death, racism, bigotry, the normalization of war, etc., I have mentioned before that during such times the true revolutionaries are not those who are quick to fight, but those who are strong enough to Love.

Now, Love is not a sweet romantic sentimentality, it is the greatest power in the Universe. It is the total giving of the Spirit without any withholding. Love loves! When we consider the lives of true history makers such as Jesus the Christ, Kwan Yin, Gandhi, Dr. King, and others, they were true revolutionaries of Love. Their ability to radiate compassion, love our so-called enemy, forgive folks who were oppressive and abusive, and carry the spirit of nonjudgment was extraordinary.  The good news is that they imprinted the mental noosphere with a powerful Love ethic that still affects us.  This is the time for the true lover of God and humanity to stand.

We must free ourselves from the downward energetic spiral of leading with our woundedness. We must truly take on the inner work necessary to untangle and heal the hurts and disappointments that keep us wrapped in an inner house divided against itself that we then carry out into the world. And we must realize that if we are caught up in the vicious cycle of hate, prejudice, and the like, we are being controlled by forces that have an agenda other than our freedom because only freed people can truly and completely Love.

No one enters the planet a hater. It’s learned and individuals are hypnotized into it. Lovers of God, lovers of humanity, those who love to Love, this is our moment! Rise in Love and with a fierceness emerging from a true sense of oneness with all the power of the Universe! Be a midwife of the great Beloved Community, and let your heart be big enough to embrace the entire world.

Peace & Mighty Blessings,
