Love Is The Most Powerful Force In The Universe.
05/2025
As we begin February it's time to talk about Love. We feel that this is an important topic to talk about and we'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. So this topic will be discussed for the rest of the month.
We believe that Love is the foundation of the entire Universe. Love is the creative force that gives life to everything in the entire cosmos. Love is in everything, everywhere, all at once. If there's one thing most religions agree on is that God is Love, Love is God.
The way Love is described in A Course In Miracles could be best explained with this analogy: If we look at the Sun as God (the source of love) and Love as the light that comes from it, then we can see that Love is everywhere, enveloping everything. However, we, humans, turn away from it and focus our attention on the shadows (fear) instead. So, we live our lives as if all there is are shadows and we fail to notice the love (sunlight) that's all around us. And we try to fight shadows with more darkness; an eye for an eye. But this only continues to perpetuate the presence of the darkness.
How do we fight darkness? By shining light to it. A few years ago Rolando had the opportunity to stay at a friend's house by himself. While he was sleeping he felt as if someone was climbing onto his bed. This woke him up and when he opened his eyes he felt that this presence was on top of him and he couldn't move at all. At first he wanted to fight it off and cuss at it, and the angrier he got the less he could move. So he decided to fight it with love. He closed his eyes, focused all his attention into his heart and began to repeat this mantra out loud "Love is the most powerful force in the Universe. Love surrounds me. Love protects me. Love comes from within me." over and over. And in less than 2 minutes that entity was gone, and it didn't come back the rest of the nights he spent there.
This can be applied to all our relationships, whether it is coworkers, friendships, family members, relatives, or romantic partner. We tend to focus on the things we fear or don't like about a person. We may not like their point of view, or the way they dress, or the way they speak, or, unfortunately, even the color of their skin. And we immediately discard them, kick them out of our lives, without learning about the greatness in them. Imagine what a great World this would be if instead we embraced each other's differences.
We can love everyone, whether they are white, black, brown, Christian, Jewish, Democrat, Republican, straight, LGBTQ, rich, poor, fat, skinny, tall, short, etc. But that doesn't mean we need to like them, or that we need to agree with their opinions. We can listen to each other with the intention of understanding, not with the intention of agreeing. When we understand each other's come-from, we can find the things we have in common and the things we don't. We don't need to be equal to love one another.
This was Jesus's (Jeshua's) ultimate message, to love one another. He didn't say amass great wealth, or condemn those who don't think like us. He didn't even say "Love me" he said "Love thy neighbor". Without exceptions. Can you love someone even though they have an opinion that strongly contradicts yours? What if you fear their very existence is a threat to you?
A few years ago we had a conversation about this topic and the question came up, would we be able to give our services to someone who came with a shaved head and swastika tattoo on their body? Although this has not happened, we don't see why we wouldn't. If they came to us for healing, who are we to judge them and deny them that possibility? We got clear that everything we see in others is either an expression of love or a call for love. (Marianne Williamson)
Also, if you remember, our Shaman's befriended a Scorpion a couple of years ago and he got stung. This acquaintance caused him loss and pain. And now, after the work he has done, he has forgiven that Scorpion, he sends love and wishes nothing but healing and growth for that person. However, that doesn't mean that Scorpion is welcome back here. Not from anger or resentment, we simply have strong boundaries based on who we want to surround ourselves with.
That's what most people collapse together. They believe that being compassionate, loving and forgiving means letting those who hurt us come back and do it again. This is just not the case. You can forgive, love and have compassion for someone who hurt you, AND at the same time stand for your own worth, love yourself, and set your boundaries coming from your own self-love: "This is allowed, and that is not". And that's a very powerful place to stand!
The bottom line is this, if Love is the most powerful force in the Universe, and it's all around us, then what do we need to fear? That's the journey to fearlessness your Shaman invites you to take. And you won't be alone, the entire Universe has your back. Are you ready to look away from fear and towards Love?
