With every thought, word, & action, we create unity – or separation.
For example, when a love partner, family member, or associate says something we “know” or consider to be “wrong,” this is a love moment with enormous potential for unity – or separation. Which responses below create unity or separation between two hearts?
-
“That’s stupid.”
-
“You’re just wrong about that.“
-
“I honor what you are saying, but I’m not sure I agree.”
-
”I have a different idea, but you may be right. Let’s explore this more.”
Unity causes our hearts to melt into oneness, grace, & peace. Separation causes us – and those close to us – to feel isolation & hurt.
If, for example, we meet a new person and think privately, “I don’t think I like this person,” we create instant separation. If we meet the same person and think, “I’d like to discover what gems lies within this individual,” we instantly move towards unity.
Even our inner thoughts about ourselves create unity or separation.
Which inner talk above creates unity within our soul – or emotional pain?
The next time you are in a social or work conversation, quietly look around and determine who is being left out or excluded.
Love never excludes anyone. Love is like radar constantly looking for ways to ensure that each and every one of us is embraced. This is what it means to be a Love Master. We become alert to including, not excluding, those around us. Why? Because this creates so much joy, peace, & unity. And not just for others, but for us!
What percent of the time are you creating unity in your life – at home, at work, throughout the day, within yourself? Just to ask this question heightens love awareness.
The slightest shift in our tone, our words, our thought, and our actions can move the tide of our conversations towards unity and away from separation.
Yes, maybe someone else should be doing this in your life. But you are reading this column because you are already committed to love. You are already on the path of a Love Master. You have the interest, commitment, and awareness to create unity. Love has chosen you to be the unifier.
Of course it doesn’t always work to create unity. Sometimes, we need to leave a situation or person that isn’t interested in unity. But even in our departing words & actions, we can create goodwill rather than enmity.
Unity is a choice – a constant, wonderful choice. Your decision to read this column was a choice and it has brought us closer together. This is how love works. Start shaping your language to create even more unity. Experiment and notice what happens with the slightest shift away from judgment towards acceptance, the slightest shift in giving someone the benefit of the doubt, the slightest shift in accepting how valuable & lovely you are. The world of unity – with all it’s peace, acceptance, surrender, & joy – awaits you & needs you. Welcome to the heart of love.
