From my favorite blogger Les Visibles latest --- I really love this post *********************** EXCERPTS When you are not true to yourself, something inside you knows; SOMETHING INSIDE YOU KNOWS! You wind up at war with yourself and that deep channel, through which atavistic ...and others fears flow, begins to vibrate with the sound of something rushing through. Fear displaces love; love displaces fear. This is all you need to know and the reason that I STRESS that one adopts a Bhakti perspective in their devotional life. If you are a Christian, then adore Christ and seek to emulate him. If you are a Muslim you adapt your Bhakti to that and so on and so on for any faith that may be the one that appeals to you. As visible never tires of saying and of which he is a living example; ‘those who love much are forgiven much’. I might add that those who love much are led often toward that which they love. Love is MAGNETIC. It attracts you to itself. Let us here also state that there are many things that go under the common (accent of the word, ‘common’) definition of Love. This explains star crossed lovers (although Karma certainly plays a part). It explains how you can love someone so much and then come to hate them; hate is love suppressed. You MUST seek a higher love. As love ascends up the ladder of variable permutations it becomes ever more refined and expansive. The highest expression of love is sacrifice and that is why Christ came in the age of Pisces. The cosmos IS choreographed at that level. It is. :Love in the age of Kali Yuga... heh heh, I just found the title for the follow up to Spiritual Survival on the Temporal Plane. The critically important reason that one should adopt a Bhakti form of practice is due to the age we are in. The force of Kali Yuga... and by extension, the force of Materialism, is powerful. You can be an excellent swimmer but you get into the wrong kind of waves and look out. We all need a swimming coach in these perilous times, as much to tell us how to swim, as where to swim and... no less importantly, when to go into the water at all. Higher love can express itself as a keening rapture that is simultaneously, self contained and giving itself away at the same time. You cannot exhaust the cosmic reservoir of love. The more you take, the more you can access BECAUSE, as you dispense Love... love increases your capacity to express it. BECAUSE all Love wants to do is love more. Here is an amazing cosmic truth. Consider the path of knowledge, of Jnana Yoga and by comparison with Bhakti Yoga. If you follow the path of knowledge and the luminous awareness of all things, you will still have to come back here and follow the path of Love, whereas, if you follow Bhakti, all knowledge and whatever else is useful and valuable is “added unto you”. You get all of is as accessories to love. How marvelous is that? Love will untangle every snare. Love will take you past, up and around obstacles wherever they may be. Love is far seeing. Love knows the road up ahead. Love is precognitive and one of the fruits of love is Wisdom and another is Understanding. When one is accompanied, on either side, by these twin companions, not much can go wrong. We see things go wrong all the time, in the world and in our respective lives, simply because of the intense presence of Materialism. Love sees through all that nonsense and just cruises through. Because love fills your life, everything is manageable if not downright pleasant. This is the essence of Tantra; not all of that other complexity and once again; if you have the love, the rest comes automatically AND as has been said, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” You get the complete package with love and what is more impressive is that you don’t have to worry about the details because love takes care of those as well. Love is the ultimate multifunction. Mind... the love has to be at a high level to perform at a high level so... prime the pump and also exercise it through the performance medium. We are in denial; the majority of us. We are possessed by a cognitive disconnect; the majority of us. We do not realize what an operational, functional, comprehensive and joy filled excursion it becomes to ride on the ineffable’s love bus. It, quite simply, gets better and better ♫it’s getting better all the time...♫ It gets better and better, as you progress, until it goes past anything you ever imagined and which can no way, no how, be duplicated in even the most sumptuous offerings of material nature, all of which are temporary, no matter what. Love is not temporary. Love is eternal. visibleorigami/2014/12/love-in-age-of-kali-yuga.html ***********************
