False, misunderstood,
human Love ...
-
has
expectations and hope
-
wants
to change others, that is why it criticizes them ('wanting to help' comes
from your EGO, so the impulse comes from the brain, not from the heart!)
-
uses
pressure on others
-
expects
something in return for what is given
-
is
causing obligations
-
clings
to others, holds them
-
knows
false self-sacrifice (I sacrifice my time, myself etc. for you, so I expect
you to be grateful...)
-
is
sentimental
-
is
calculating in every way
-
is
giving in to please others, without really wanting to
-
is
doing something unwanted in order to be recognized
-
knows
pity
-
is
acting out of fear and gives fear to others
-
is
using persuasion
-
makes
depentent
-
has
self-pity
-
has
fear to lose others...
-
is
dominated by the brain, by karma and rigid patterns,
-
because
it is a POLARIC Love
And because "human love" is a polaric
energy, it always causes a contrary energy to come into being! Thatis why human
love cannot lead us to HAPPINESS, but only to...

Disappointment,
frustration
-
Loss,
separation, loneliness
-
Bitterness
of heart

(Remember
what Erich Mielke said 1989, when thousands of GDR citizen went to Hungary
and Czechoslovakia: „But I love you all!" I suppose that these words were
said spontaneously, and in a way they have touched me, revealing clearly
all the helplessness and perplexity of that old man. Do not forget: We
should not evaluate and judge others! - who are we to do that? Stumbling
is easy...)
Now
I do not want to insinuate, that ALL human love is false. There probably
are many people who really and honestly LOVE, and who have proven this
by their actions. I am thinking of those that have sacrificed
their lives for others, of extraordinary men, like JANUSZ KORCZAK, who
did not want to leave the Jewish children he was caring for and accompagnied
them into the concentration camp and into death. This man is a LIGHT to
all of MANKIND, because there is nothing greater than LOVE.
ALL
of us could be capable of LOVE like that - but we do not know it anymore,
so far have we strayed from LOVE. Perhaps many of us have a kind of mixture
of LO-ve. Not all of us are egotists, but we are far from being like Jesus,
who lived to be an example of pure LOVE to MEN. We are trying to be 'good'.
Many times a year they call upon us to do good by giving money, especially
before Christmas, suggesting that when donating, we would be warmhearted,
helpful, sacrificing, generous... But are we really like that? Be honest
- don't you feel instead that you HAVE to donate, that it means something
like 'paying for your sins', so to speak, like a deal 'donation for sin',
or that you want to be 'good', so that your EGO makes us feel superior
to others? Who of you is throwing the voucher for your contribution into
the garbage instead of filing it with the income tax, so that 'your right
hands does not know what the left hand is doing'...?
When
I first tried to live according to the teachings of Jesus CHRIST, there
certainly was a conflict in me - until I said to me, no matter what, either
I do it for good or not at all - and I asked myself, how would He have
acted - with one hand giving and the other hand on the income tax form...?
I
know human love very well - with all the joys and the pains - but I also
know its limits and its consequences. For nothing in this world I would
want to return to that love. It would be like coming from the sunshine
and crawling into a dark hole...
The
following 'symptoms" let us realize the present state of our hearts:
It
is considered 'normal', that everybody know the pangs of lovesickness;
that separation means suffering; that there are differences and problems
between parents and children; that juveniles want to break out during puberty;
that young people have to become independent from their parents; that there
is jealousy among couples; that sooner or later after the honeymoon the
state of 'being in love' is over, at least after 'everyday life' has set
in...
But
most of all we see the terrible pain that 'love' brings, when we see reports
about wars, rebellions and attacks; when we read reports about crime; when
we hear about the suicide statistics; when we hear about misuse of children;
when we look at the crime rate among juveniles; when we hear and see how
people speak, think, feel and act, how they treat themselves and others;
how old people are treated very often; how young and old people are behaving;
how lonely people are...
When
you know UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and live in it, you can tell at first glance whether
another person is in this LOVE or not. Believe me, you can tell from every
expression, every glance, every move, every word, every smile, every laugh... |
