Love's Success

All intensely personalLove involves and includes trust, but cosmic Love, given to strangers, does not.

Positive humaninterest stories are much preferred over the headline-grabbers, tales of woe and violence. News-stories do not reflect the true state of mind of most people. If they did, the stories would be so common that they would elicit no interest whatsoever. Yet it is amazing how many seem to believe that news-stories somehow reflect a decrease in human goodness.

Those with this distorting thought lose sight of the fact that, if criminals did represent normal behavior, their antics would not even be news! It has always been this way. For we all possess two natures-- the lower, thriving on fear, and the higher, subsisting on Love. Human nature is just in the embryophase of transfiguration. In cosmic time, humanity began its spiritual evolution only a few seconds ago!

In fact, people were, in some ways, arguably worse in the past than they are now! Ours is not,by far, the worst of all possible worlds. What springs to mind are the literally unspeakable horrors of the Inquisition and witch-hunts of Europe. If ever evidence of human bestiality were needed, this one is "right up there" (or, perhaps, "Ddown there":) with the losers and boobs called the "nazis." Thank Love that those periods in our history are over!:)

We(good people) are, in our billions, people of peace working incessantly against the lower nature of fear to build a better world! And, despite real "failures," we can also celebrate a number of significant successes!:) And more every day!:) (As mystics or universal beings, we number among our greatest successes our "failures," for it is all about learning!:)
