It is by focusing upon the Divine Intelligence which is of the same source in all of us, that we will be able to unconditionally love one another without judgment.
I am sure most have heard the saying; “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” How can we possibly follow such advice and why, when we know the guy down the road is abusive, the woman next door gets into everybody’s business and constantly reminds us she is better than we are or the person at work who is always miserable, complaining about everything? It is important to note here that we are not required to love what others do, their behaviors, but to love “them.” We are to love the Devine Intelligence, Spirit, which is in all of us. In this instance love is not an emotion but a reverence for Devine Intelligence.
Spirit does not change. We are not our physical body, behaviors, our job, or the things we accumulate. All these things change and eventually pass on. We are commanded to love Spirit which is unchanging and will last forever. If we are to believe all things come from one source it stands to reason that through Spirit we are all connected for the Spirit in one came from the same source as the Spirit in another. We are all cut from the same Spiritual cloth so to speak. Spirit is always for love, peace, joy, abundance and prosperity and these are the things on which we must focus our attention for all.
In order to love another it is first necessary to love our self, self being our Spirit. Spirit is our Power of Intention, Devine Intelligence, Holy Spirit or what ever other name you choose to give it. It formed us and sustains us. The Power of Intention in us has all the right answers for us if we would but learn to let go of ego and the physical and quietly listen for Its guidance. Loving self does not require us to love our behaviors. Paul, an Apostle of Christ in the Bible stated; “I do the things I don’t wish to do and do not do the things I know are right.” Once we understand the role of Spirit and learn to love our Spirit we gain an awareness making it possible to change any undesirable behavior and circumstance in ourselves and in others through conscious right thinking.
Once we begin to love the Divine Spirit within us it becomes easier to see past what we might classify as faults in others to the same Divine Spirit which is in them and love “them” unconditionally. We begin to understand how and why people we come in contact with behave as they do and are playing a very important role in our personal development. We are now able to have compassion for these people instead of condemning them. We also begin to understand that when we condemn another we also condemn our self cutting off the supply of prosperity.
