The Path

"The initiate knows because he works." This sums up the Path pretty much. By working we gain understanding, not before. This is also backed up in the statement, "Service is the great healer and TEACHER." In serving and working we learn and, "Service is Love in action." By CONSCIOUSLY Loving we learn. The Path is actually many things, but few have actually walked it, except for those Great Souls, who perhaps shall remain nameless, as incarnations of God, but the Path is for ALL. The Path is all about coming into Love - Loving all and unifying with all. To walk the path is to follow the calling of the Purpose of Life.
Three major keys to walking the Path are; SEEKING, SERVICE and MEDITATION. These will never stop, and are inherent to life on the Path and after you reach your Goal - Realisation of your Oneness with God. Other keys are; obey the inward impulses of the Soul and pay no attention to worldly science and sagacity. To walk the Path we need to overcome the ego, the lower self and follow the dictates of our higher self, our Soul. We need to recreate and change our selves, and control and overcome our lower selves. This is a major thing for most people to do and may be for eons - it's all worth it, for the joy, Love and Peace of the Spirit.
In order to walk the Path it will not only be necessary to battle our selves, but the outside world as well, as people will most likely confront and challenge you as you walk the Path. For this you must be prepared. If it was easy, we wouldn't make it, though in a way there is NOTHING easier than walking the Path. Don't get your hopes up though - it WILL challenge you.
As it says in 'The Matrix', "It is not enough to know the Path, you have to walk it." And this article should tell you what you need to do enough to follow it, if you are not already. One more thing. The Path that people walk is defined in two ways; The Right Hand Path, the Path of service to others, the ALL, and to God and the left hand path; the path of service to self. All Black Magicians walk this path. It should be clear that the path of service to self, the left hand path should not be followed. Love is the Law of Life and should be followed by all those desirous of success. Everyone will ultimately take this Path, although some or many, may take the long road Home. This is certainly not the way people should go. There is only one way to REALLY know the path and that is to walk it. So walk on, and "Seek and ye shall find."

Love

This is a subject that is, and should be dear to all people. It may be apparent though, that some people are not concerned about it. Why? Ignorance. And remember, ignorance is synonamous with evil. It seems that many, (or even most) people do not know what Love is, how to do it, or even what it feels like. I should start by saying that LOVE IS ALL THERE IS. That isn't to say evil doesn't exist - it does. At the same time it doesn't - there is no such thing. Yet evil is sometimes everywhere. What is the solution? Love is the solution. Or is it Truth? Love and Truth go hand in hand. Truth and Love should be shared simultaneously with everyone we meet, and everyone around us. We actually "meet" WHO EVER WE SEE, it does not necessarily have to be a real 'meet and greet' situation.
Love is impersonal and God is Love. AND as it says in the Bible, "God is no respecter of personalities." There are many things we could say about Love and so far we are only scratching the surface. To truly Love others should be a major goal of everyone, which brings us to a definition of what Love is. "Love is the fixed determination to do what is best for the greater good." It is not a feeling - that is a distortion of true Love, but the feeling will almost certainly be there. Love is not making the object of Love feel comfortable, superficially. Sharing the Truth with someone may not seem Loving at the time, but it is the most Loving thing you can do. Buddha and Jesus both shared the Truth with others, AND they were both persecuted because of it. Once again ALL Love is IMpersonal. Personal Love, is no Love at all. We all have experienced Love in one or other of it's forms, yet, how many people know and demonstrate it in their lives? Everyone should do this without question. True divine Love is much misunderstood by others, but will be understood completely in the coming Age. We should make PURE Love our goal, a Love which requires nothing back. God is Love and God and Love is all there is. So in order to unify with All There Is (which is actually the Goal of life) we need to Love. We need to increase our capacity to Love. When we Love one person we Love all. So much could be said on the subject that it is almost impossible to cover it, but it is worth making a study of what Love is, though not intellectually. The EXPERIENCE of Love will explain, what Love really is, though, most definitely you will need TRUE knowledge. Finally I will say, "The care of the whole, does not involve the neglect of any part." Similarly, the care of the part, does not involve the neglect of the whole. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, this can be the truest Love of all - EXCEPT... you have to know what that self is. Perhaps this last statement sums it up - we know our true self is Love, just as God is Love - we were made in His image. So, forever Love! Love will take you closer to that true self than anything.
