For the past 2,000 years, the religious followers of the theological Christian church have failed to “Love thy neighbour as thyself”, which is both the 2nd Commandment of Jesus and the Golden Rule of every major Religion except Judaism. They have continued to follow the Old Testament doctrine of the Jewish Torah, which follows a system of justice called: “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. They are doing unto others as they believe that others have done unto them.
- In my Old Testament, I give out what I have been given. I do unto others as others have done unto me; and by the Law of Attraction, I get back what I give out. This is my fate & my Karma
- In my New Testament, I give out what I want back. I am being unto others as I choose for others to be unto me; which, in alignment with the Law of Attraction, is my destiny & my Dharma
The Law of Attraction allows either choice to apply. We all intuitively know that: “As we sow, so shall we reap”; yet we still express our sins as being virtuous and our virtues as being sinful. We do this because the ‘Intellect’ cannot reasonably give out what it wants but doesn’t already have. It doesn’t know how to be a ‘shining example’ of who it chooses to be unto others. It lacks the intuitive awareness of how to be enlightened with Christ Consciousness. It neither understands Consciousness, which is the ‘hard problem of science’, nor understands Christ, which is the ‘hard problem of theology’.
Reading the Bible only makes sense intuitively. Intellectually, it has neither logic nor reason. It requires faith in a dogmatic belief in religion that overrides any scientific theory.
Before I can love my neighbour as I love myself, I am first required to “Love my Self”.
“Self Love is the ability to meet one’s own emotional needs and be empowered with the confidence & the esteem of the value of one’s own worth.”
Self Love requires the same pure expression of love that the Soul has for its Self. Only through expressing the pure love of the Soul can I love my Self. Only when I love my Self with the pure love of my Soul, can I love my neighbour as I love my Self. My Soul loves both my Self and my neighbour equally and unconditionally. Unconditional love has the power for every neighbour to love their Self with the same compassion that they have for all other people.
I cannot be emotionally needy and love my Self. When I need & desire the love of another, it is because I do not ‘love my Self’. Loving my Self, without causing the chaotic entropy of my fateful karma, is clearly the destiny of my Dharma.
I align with the 2nd Commandment of Jesus when I realise that: ‘My Soul is my Ever-loving Neighbour’.
