Social Wellness and World Peace Issues - Gay Rights Debate - What Would Love Do Now?
Social Wellness and World Peace Issues - Gay Rights Debate - What Would Love Do Now?
Hi,
I've been writing quite a bit about cosmic healing of personal values, beliefs, fears, habitual thought and feeling patterns.
My entire journey has been and will continue to be about inducing consciousness around any issue that limits my full self expression and the full self expression of anybody else or any aspect of life.
Last week, amidst the euphoria of Barack Obama's landslide victory, I realised that the overturn of the right of homosexuals to marry passed in four states.
By Saturday and more specifically, Sunday, I was aware of being deeply troubled by this issue. Because of what this vote against love meant but also because I realised there was some ambivalence within me that I hadn't cleared.
By Sunday evening, the troubled feeling left. On examination within, it came down to the issue of being able to love as fully as any other adult human being is able to.
My spiritual understanding and stance on any human life issue has always been that anything that doesn't infringe on the rights of others, especially children, but increases the love, understanding and acceptance, enhances mankind's evolution.
As Keith said in the excellent special commentary video below, sixteen states precluded black men and women from marrying in 1968, so the marriage between Barack Obama's parents in any of those sixteen states would not have been legal.
The only one word definition I've ever been able to feel comfortable with in my human efforts to describe God, Life Itself, the Universe, Allah, Jehovah etc is LOVE.
For the life of me, there is simply no other word that better describes the feeling I get when I ponder upon and feel the reality of this 'bigger than me' reality that those God words describe.
So it was easy to completely connect with Neale Donald Walsch's advice about a question to use to help clarify how to move forward in any situation we find ourselves in. That question is:
Whenever my human personality, ego self gets caught up in the moment's drama, passionately, I use that question to guide me back to my center. Because my center, your center, Life's center, is LOVE.
I find that if I can deep breathe enough to let the drama go and ground myself in answering that question within, my inner intuitive knowingness and guidance always lets me know the next 'love' step I need to take to heal and balance any contentious situation I have created in my life.
Keith Olbermann eloquently lays out the history of marriage in the US and asks the same essential question about the vote that occurred in four states last week. Was this vote truly motivated by Love? Not religious love, not human, ego-type love. By Love.
The same Love that fuels nature systematically providing us with oxygen through Her trees every night, despite the fact that we wake up and kill them religiously every morning.
The same Love that allows us to awaken each and every morning to give us one more chance, one more day, to be a channel of Love to self, others and the world.
Would those votes have truly been cast, if all those who voted first centered themselves within this Love that keeps their heart beating, that keeps their own hearts hopeful enough to dare to get out of bed each morning?
Would being centered in that question allowed banning of the highest societally accepted expression of love between two adults to go through?
You may choose to remember to ask yourself this Love centering question each day you continue to draw breath and share your essence on our beautiful planet. Perhaps you'll want to center in the essence of the question then watch Keith Olbermann's special comment on Proposition 8's vote on the right to Love.
Neale Donald Walsch's Love Question, again:
Was "What would love do now?" the center of last week's voting on proposition 8 in California and those other three states?
