Love Over Law

Is our conscience merely conditioning or is it a hotline to our divinity?

Do we follow where it leads? Do we trust it? Is it our lack of trust that makes us suffer? If we trusted every move we make as right and correct, even divinely ordained, or at the very least inevitable, would we be happy and free?

And do we even need to actively trust? Perhaps we could just abandon mistrust, drop the second-guessing and the doubt. Because it’s the mind with all its doubts and stories and judgements that causes all the misery.

But is such mindlessness tantamount to heedlessness, recklessness? Is it sociopathic to live without regret, without reference to good and bad, right and wrong?

This is still a mind-first view. From this perspective even when thoughts are absent the mind still dominates; the belief that the mind runs the show, leads the way.

Better to live from the heart, from our intuitive sense, that tender feeling level that connects us to all. From that level we don’t need to follow injunctions not to harm or to treat others well, we don’t need the mind to tell us what’s right and what’s wrong, we KNOW.

“In love the law is fulfilled.”

This is the divine logic of universal love, that the law becomes redundant. Not heedlessly abandoned but fulfilled and more. Love is that simple, elegant solution to all the problems of the world.

    Reality Isn’t Conscious

    Reality isn’t conscious. That would imply a conscious subject aware of an object. Reality is conscious-ness. There is no second. Experientially we find the subject has no object other than itself. We can find no point of separation between so-called subject and object. The universal subjective. The Self knowing Itself. Descriptions, descriptions. These are just…

  • Keep Quiet

    That we believe ourselves to be a person is completely taken for granted. We don’t even think to look into this, to question its veracity. We’ve been conditioned to stop short in our curiosity about our nature. Go all the way. Use your discrimination and intelligence to fathom what’s true. I can set you down…

  • The Limits of Words

    Use your words, they say. But recently I saw a sunset that was so sublime words couldn’t even get near it. The subtlety of colour and form of the endlessly changing expressionist painting in the sky, the deftest touch, the impossibly tender sensibility of the creator. There’s really nothing I could say that could begin…

  • Our Essential Unity

    There’s not a lot of Unity in the Bible, not on the surface anyway; you have to really go looking for it, and even then. But the Kabbalah is a rich map of reality. It shows that from the most abstract unmanifest divine truth, a sequential unfoldment or manifestation occurs. But even so, all this…
