Your love for me and of my love for You.
And so, if God is love, then this prayer is answered. In every way my life becomes about remembering His love for me and mine for Him.
If I think He answered with a painful difficult situation to teach me, then I am seeing it wrong.
So, I have a problem with my knee which is probably a torn meniscus. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Did God send it as a difficulty for me to learn or is it an expression of love which I am seeing incorrectly?
I have no neutral thoughts. I see no neutral things. All the meaning I see is what I decided. So, do I choose a loving God or a tyrant?
What is the content of a torn meniscus? Not the form, the content. Am I filled with fear? If so, then I didn't choose a loving God but a tyrant.
You realize that society, history and the Judeo-Christian tradition teach that God is a tyrant.
I am forced to change my ideas of what I will do. I am an athlete, but the ego of running and racing is torn from me. Fitness becomes a quiet manifestation with no meaning in the world. Something which has no worldly aspect (ie, not where others can see and react), cannot be of the ego. Hence, it has the potential of being love.
Does it make sense that God is a choice? Yes. If I decided he is a tyrant, then that is what I think. If he actually is love, he wouldn't attempt to change me. He would wait until I wanted him; at which point He would send immediate help. Even so, it takes awhile for me to change my choices and beliefs, at least from my perspective.
No, the enlightened or special religious don't have an edge because of their position or religious validation. We all have an equal chance to live in God's love or not.
I want the content of my life (mind) to be love. And so, that is the help I am given.
