For The Love Of God

Many years ago, when I had amnesia from a near-death experience, I walked around thinking to myself what a strange place with strange customs and phrases. I remember one day being in the checkout line at the local Fred Meyer store. In front of me was a grandfather with his grandson, about the age of three. He was sitting in the shopping basket playing with a large bag of M&Ms. He was able to open the bag, the result being all the M&M’s falling to the floor surrounding everyone’s feet. The grandfather replied, “For the love of God, look at what you have done?
“The young boy replied, “All gone.”
When I would hear comments or phrases as such, I would take it literally. My thought at the time, what does the love of God have to do with this mess?
A few years later, when I was with my Chinese teacher, learning lessons on human consciousness, he stated, “Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love of God.”
He noticed I was smiling as I remembered the incident at the Fred Meyer store. He replied, “This world is filled with statements of truth which are not understood or lived. When the truth is not understood, it is not lived; therefore, one’s reality is but an illusion.”
Look at the English word love. What is the English word’s value that can have so many different definitions using a singular word? If one were to go to ancient Greece, one would find different words for love. It depended upon its use, how the word was applied. Below are four words used for love in Greek, the first being Agápe, the second Éros, third Philia, and the fourth Storge. My teacher would refer to Agápe, unconditional love, a deep understanding of true love, or, as he would say, the love of origin expressed through the higher mind. Agápe could also be used, meaning a strong understanding of true love, a love not seeking something in return, just the spirit of love with robust and powerful bonding. Then we have Éros, which can be a passionate love with sensual desire. Éros does not have to be sexual. Perhaps this is why Plato refined the definition of this word based on what Socrates had taught him. Plato taught that physical attraction does not need to be present for this love to exist. Thus, the word Platonic, which means love, without physical, sexual attraction. The most complex and distinguished work on this subject can be found in Plato’s Symposium, about a discussion among Socrates’ students.
Then we have Philia, meaning loyalty to family and friends, or a sense of protective affection. Aristotle would often use this term. And the fourth Storge, meaning affection, or natural affection such as a parent to their child, or an animal to its offspring. It also means patience, but it seems this part has been lost.
One can see how limited the English word love is in terms of expressing something deep and profound. So what does the statement mean, “Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love (Agápe) of God?” Searching for this answer is the primary reason I studied philosophy and the meanings of the different world religions. Why is it nearly every person who believes in some form of God will state they love God? They may not know the meaning of love; they may not know the origin of their God. Yet they will say they love God. Is there something deep within the human psyche that carries an innate need to love God? Is there an inherent fear that God will not love or reward them if they do not love God? My bookshelves became overflowing with books on world religions, philosophies, and the study of human consciousness.
Being the perfect teacher for me, my teacher would not give me direct answers until I searched every avenue on the subject I was seeking to understand. I could not get his statement out of my mind, “Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love of God.” I would ask myself, “Why would I create a home, family, automobile, food, all for the love of God?” Would I not create it for the love of family?
I spent months searching for a deeper meaning to his statement. During this search, my wife Rebecca and I were invited to dinner at a neighbor’s house. As we sat down to dinner, David, our neighbor, asked each to bow their heads while he gave a prayer thanking God for the meal. My curiosity got the best of me. Not being familiar with the customs of the people I found myself surrounded by, I asked David, “Who bought this food?”
Rebecca’s eyes grew with the expression. Do not go there. But I continued to ask anyway. “Who bought this food?”
“My wife Karen did,” replied David.
“With whose money?” I continued questioning.
“My money,” David said with a bit of irritation.
“So Karen bought this food with your money and prepared the meal. Why did you thank God for it instead of Karen? It does not appear God had anything to do with creating this meal.”
For the rest of the dinner, everyone sat in silence. It was most appealing to stand up and walk home, but I stayed till dinner was over, never receiving an answer, and never receiving an invitation to David’s home again.
To comprehend, to know something, one must put all the pieces together to see the whole picture. I find many select parts of the puzzle, but they end up with many holes in the picture. Perhaps this is when the mind begins to fill in the gaps with their inherited beliefs. To have a clear understanding of the whole human, one needs to understand the many different parts of the human. All twelve parts or called twelve bodies, not the seven that many traditions teach, but twelve. If one only looks at seven bodies, you end up with many holes in the picture. I will not go into the description of the twelve bodies in this blog, as I have taught them in my Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing classes, and Jonah has taught them in public seminars.
“Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love, bonding of (Agápe) of God?” In my studies of human consciousness, I find three of the missing critical elements: the lack of physical, emotional, and mental bonding. I am not talking about liking someone or having a paternal emotional connection with your child, but to feel, and experience the power of bonding. Through the years, my work with teenagers has shown a single common denominator, the lack of bonding with their parents or parents. “Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love, bonding of (Agápe) of God?”
The twelfth body is called the Ja ost, or God Self, that part of the human who is innately connected to that which is, or God essence, God wisdom, God love, or the intelligence that permeates throughout all universes.
I have been asked the question, “Will science ever discover God?” My answer is, how can science as we know it ever discover something they cannot see, feel, touch, or measure with equipment. How many scientists allow their ego to get in the way of discovery? How many scientists have political agendas that get in the way? Look at climate change, and the scientists who teach it does not exist, because of their political connections. How many scientists still teach GMO foods are healthy for you, that the radiation currently poisoning the entire earth will not harm you? Or the dangers of radiofrequency radiation from cell phones are safe.
Unfortunately, some scientists have their head so far up their first charka they have blinded themselves. Exact science can fully understand God when those who are searching use their ability to bond.
“Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life for the love, bonding of (Agápe) of God?” Do you have the ability to bond, to deeply bond with someone? Do you have the ability to thoroughly bond with yourself, all parts of yourself? One question to ask, how easy is it for you to forgive others? How easy is it for you to forgive yourself? Throughout my years of research on this philosophy, I have found this is a reliable indicator of how strongly you can or are bonded to others and yourself. The harder it is for you to forgive others or yourself, it is, to the same extent, more challenging for you to bond with others or yourself.
What is it like to be fully bonded with others and all parts of yourself?
What is it like being bonded with all of your ancestors, in which your body is a receptacle, as well as all of your aspects? Does this not give a new meaning to the phrase love self? How often do we fight with our internal ancestors or our soul aspects? How often do we project our ancestors or soul aspects are out there, wherever out there resides?
Perhaps healing psychological issues would be painless and rapid. Perhaps experiencing joy would be a shared experience, not something one needs to meditate on to achieve. Possibly relationships would be an exciting daily adventure filled with joy, not something with which to struggle. Perhaps the illusionary fear of punishment from God would not exist. How would it feel to be at one with the universe, be at one with the mysteries of the universe?
Perhaps letting go of old, outdated beliefs that life is filled with pain and stress would cease to exist. Could this be what it would be like, being bonded with all parts of self, not just selective parts of self? The good, bad, and ugly remind me of an American film from years past. Some want to be discriminatory to bond with the good but try to hide or ignore what they see as bad and ugly. What would it be like to fully bond with the bad and ugly, including the bad and ugly ancestors? What would it be like to thrive, understand, live, and create all in their life for the love, bonding of (Agápe) of God? What would it be like to cease being in denial of hidden parts of yourself? How many reject God’s existence because the God they grew up with was an angry, punishing God, willing to burn his children? Talk about a lack of bonding! How many see God as some far away, distant, impersonal God? Let me change the statement. How many see the parts of self as some distant, impersonal essence, floating out in the universe? How many want to see God as a single entity who gives rules they must obey? Could it be God is a consciousness that can only be experienced through bonding with all parts of self, thus experiencing Agápe? Could it be God’s consciousness is a living, loving, personal God without form, a non-deity, and consciousness of intelligence that expands and contracts as the universe breaths? Perhaps God is a consciousness that flows throughout all matter seen and unseen. Does God need to be felt and seen to exist?
Some scientists say yes, but perhaps their difficulty is their lack of bonding, their lack of feeling, their lack of Agápe.
“Human consciousness can only thrive when they understand, live, and create all in their life, for the love of God.” My journey of discovery about this statement brought about many answers to life. Whatever you seek to create in life, understand, live, and create all for the love of God, which is the love of self, the bonding of self, all parts of self, including your internal ancestors. I have found when this occurs; your creation is a joy and becomes a living memory of your connection to God.
