Allembracing Mind and Love

There is a thin line between naivete, which can be dangerous, and a sincere attempt more fully to trust strangers. I do not believe that trust should be given freely to just everyone. It is not unconditional, as Love is. Trust is in the same category as respect: It must be earned.

We are wise if we can love everyone. But we can be very foolish if we trust everyone, and just silly if we respect everyone with the same quality and quantity of respect!:)

A couple of newspapers have been tried that sought to emphasize the good news only. But on this kindergarten planet, it appears that so much of human nature is still so undeveloped that people generally-- and incredibly-- still prefer to read about bad news. The source of part of this perversity might be, "It didn't happen to me"-- an artificial, contrived way of feeling "special" or even "blessed."

The wise and enlightened mystic grows to the point where "all news is good news," but that, as you might imagine, takes quite a long time on the "rollercoaster"!

Still, even after she reaches that millennia-old goal of perfect "allembracing" Mind, in which she knows all to be good, she does not allow complacency to overcome active compassion. She never looks at a suffering being and dismissively says, "It's her karma." Instead, enlightenment has active Love as its nucleus. It is the job of the enlightened to alleviate suffering whenever and however she can do so. Love moves her to eradicate suffering whenever and wherever she finds it.
