THOUGHTS OF LOVE AND RESPECT

IF WE PUNCTURE THE OTHER PERSON'S EGO AND WOUND HIS ESTIMATE OF HIMSELF, WE CANNOT GAIN HIS GOODWILL. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT EVERY MAN WANTS TO BE LOVED AND APPRECIATED, AND MADE TO FEEL IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD. WE MUST ALSO REALIZE THAT THE OTHER MAN IS CONSCIOUS OF HIS TRUE WORTH, AND THAT, LIKE OURSELVES, HE FEELS THE DIGNITY OF BEING AN EXPRESSION OF THE ONE LIFE-PRINCIPLE ANIMATING ALL MAN. AS WE DO THIS CONSCIOUSLY AND KNOWINGLY, WE BUILD THE OTHER PERSON UP AND HE RETURNS OUR GOODWILL. " LOVE INCLUDES UNDERSTANDING GOODWILL AND RESPECT FOR THE DIVINITY IN THE OTHER PERSON. THE MORE LOVE AND GOODWILL YOU EMANATE AND EXUDE, THE MORE COMES BACK TO YOU. " SAYS THE AUSTRIAN FOUNDER OF PSYCHOANLAYSIS, SIGMUND FREUD. SEE WE ARE ALL OF ONE SOURCE. IT IS ALSO CLEAR THAT ALL FORMS OF LIFE ARE INTERDEPENDENT. THE DESTRRUCTIVE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURED IN RECENT TIMES ON THE PLANET HAVE OPENED US UP TO THIS FACT. IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, WE ARE DISCOVERING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DROP OUR SELF-CENTRED TENDENCY TO WANT TO CONTROL NATURE, AND LEARN TO SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL LIFE FORMS. ALSO THROUGH THE STUDY OF PHYSICS, WE NOW KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL A COLLECTIVE ENERGY FROM THE SAME SOURCE. THERE IS TRULY NO SOLID MATTER, ONLY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF VIBRATION. ALL FORMS OF MATTER VIBRATE AT DIFFERENT ENERGY LEVELS, YET THEY ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SOLID BARRIERS BETWEEN THEM. THUS WHEN WE ACCEPT ALL OF THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF OURSELVES, IT AFFECTS ALL OTHERS. LIKEWISE WHEN WE ACCEPT OTHERS, WE TOO FEEL THE REFLECTION IN OURSELVES. AS A RESULT, ANY POSITIVE ENERGY, WHETHER DIRECTED AT OURSELVES OR OTHERS, HELPS TO HEAL THE WHOLE PLANET. EACH PERSON, ANIMAL, PLANET, AND MINERAL IS INCLUDED IN THE WHOLE. THUS WE CONCLUDE THAT TO SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL OTHERS IS TO LOVE AND RESPECT OURSELVES AND OUR MOTHER EARTH.
