Maybe – the truth about … “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”.. Einstein… and the deep philosophical knowing of … ‘we can’t think our way out of this’… is actually revealing to us that our minds need to step back (thank you academia but you can take a break for a moment) and allow our heartfelt healing and feeling sense to lead us on….
In this, without using our heads once to consider what is happening either to our planet – or to our brothers/sisters/non human companions through war death disease famine etc – we realise that peace is the business of the heart, and in that very space we find compassion, forgiveness, diversity, generosity and respect all in common ground.
Lead from that space … lead from love..
Inspired by this lead of love, radical acceptance is a space for us to begin (it is indeed a space that offers us the capacity to win wars) it holds nothing other than acceptance of who we each are and where we each are at in our lives journey.
Once we boldly apply this radical acceptance to our hearts tuning we can lead with love and use the power of compassion to be our guide.
Without acceptance and through non acceptance of each other, diversity and opinions, we allow wars to continue – non acceptance is not the fight in the air with planes or the fight on the ground with bombs and arms – non acceptance is the war towards each others heart.
As we do not accept and allow others place, time and opinions for their experience and perspectives – we build our own wars – towards each other fuelling the energy towards open end physical and psychologically combative wars.
Thinking minds get exacerbated during these times – for opinions are of the mind – I think this – I think that….
Our non acceptance is a tear to our hearts, disagreement is fuel to the fire – our unwillingness to listen is salt in the wound – even our outdated belief that there are ‘greater minds only to be found through centuries old institutions’ means we have little room for all else, for the new and our debates become quarrels leading to words that twist the knife deeper.
Our being our truth isn’t being an opinion, its being our heart and soul, and that unique perspective of being allows us to bring forward the living of our hearts yearning and our souls purpose – thats unique, that for very being it is all that is asked of us – to be our unique gift of love..
Lead with Love is Life’s way, and as often asked within the One living System – are we willing to do as Life does?
We cannot think our way through this, but we can lead with love, we can open our hearts, we can speak from the tiny voice within that holds tears and weeping for peace, and comfort and safety and …. we all each provide this as we express our compassion through us, as us …
Life calls this, now. The call to return to her sacredness is but one step but a mighty one that will return us to our truth.
Our commons and common ground is within our heart space, leading us to the place for honouring this is love and our consciousness as a slowly emerging state (consciousness itself is not an end place – but a beginning to pure awareness) that calls us to rise with hands outstretched .. like a dance if you will, in which as we sway and beat and step, we always lead with love.
I do not simply pray for peace as an end like many aspire with consciousness, I ask for peace as the ongoing emerging state beyond that of pure awareness in which our hearts know only to lead with love.
This is as Life is – never an end state but a continuous expression of such power towards its greatest capacity, love is this, we are this….
