Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hello again Tere, How are you honey? I can just imagine this book is a great one. I admire Mother Theresa a lot, besides having a deep respect for Archbishop Tutu, what great souls. Talking about books, I am almost in the end of The book" The five people you meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom and I just can't let go. It is an amazing novel and really is a light and at the same time delightful reading. I heard that The Movie is as good as the book, but did not see the movie yet. Each page is a new surprise and it is really an interesting story line. Thank you for remembering us, May you be blessed! *Liane >> Hello Everyone,> > Yesterday, I was at a book store and one of the books> got my attention and started to go through the pages> when I came across this and realized I was reading> about the group.> > "What you can do, we cannot do, and what we can do,> you cannot do, but together we can do something> beautiful."> Book: LOVE: The Words and Inspiration of Mother > Introduction by Archbishop Desmond Tutu> > Together we will make a difference.> > Love and Light to all,> Tere> > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________> Be a better Heartthrob.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thank you for sharing this quote.. This quote is one of the most profound messages to our world, as it reaches in all areas of love.. Our world is hungry for love! We cannot survive without it. So many, Soooo Many hunger.. Our children, I would say are the most hungry. Feed them, our Parents are in need of this love now more than ever as their age has gone beyond expectations. Suffering CAN be feed with love and cured.. WE MUST LOVE ALL, IN ALL WAYS! A quote from my book of poems below.. Oh love! Oh sweet love.. Give your love away... If everyone would just take the time to really understand that hate is so much harder, and only into darkness will our souls descend.. When all it takes.. and it's some much easier... is to just give your love away.. Don't just hold on to it.. Cherish it. embrace it, then just give your love away..Love~Karma Take the Internet to Go: Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos more.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Beautiful poem . Thank you for sharing it. I believe that love is very much the key to most of the suffering in this world. Love and compassion. To know when to set aside our ego (where hate is bred), and unconditionally embrace another. Something even the best of us still struggle with. But I feel the shift, and I've seen some incredible changes in some of the hardest people I know. This group is a part of this shift. I'm so proud to be part of it, and connected to all of you soul brothers and sisters. *giant hugs all around*One thing that gets overlooked easily is that not everyone knows what love is. As sad as that seems. They know the word, but they can't retain the feeling. It's strange to them. It's out of their grasp. Unfortunately some were raised in loveless situations. More than likely full of violence. These are the people who we need to be here for. Not force them to understand with words. That would never work since we all learn our lessons by experience. We should never push someone to learn something just because we know how wonderful it is. We are people who want to share everything wonderful with others! But to someone who doesn't know where we're coming from, it would just feel intrusive. When they're ready, they will start to understand on their own. They will start to feel it trickle in with a smile, or a thought. Or maybe a stranger gives them an unexpected squeeze of the hand. If we continue to be examples for humanity, then humanity will recognize this. The more people who recognize how important love and unity are (and understand what love and unity is), then the better this world will be as a whole. Much love and onenessStefanie>> Thank you for sharing this quote..> This quote is one of the most profound messages to our world, as it reaches in all areas of love..> Our world is hungry for love!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 KUDOS to you, in this response.. Yes, LOVE... The Word is familiar to all.. I feel and have always felt that I was very blessed with a true understanding of love, and loving in ALL~WAYS.. Sorry had to put that in as I use this in many of my sign offs.. There is a reason for this as love is not just a thing..It is us, our soul, or every cell, our being.. Many as you said just have lost this understanding, a disconnection of self..Do to many different and complicated reasons.. Poets, philosophers, wise men, and young lovers have searched throughout the ages for a mastery of love. Mastery may never come but some understanding may. Love is one of the most powerful forces of life itself. Love entices you into its arms but it is enough to hold you there for only so long. You may grow restless with reality, with the day to day tedium of work. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso teaches " Love is a virtuous mind that creates only peace and happiness, while attachment is never virtuous and causes pain and problems. " A mind of love wishes for others to be happy. A mind of attachment thinks, " How can others can make me happy? " Improving our love for others improves our relationships. When relating to others, instead of thinking, " What can this person do for me? " we begin to think, " What can I do for this person? " This is the beginning of cherishing love. Gradually we begin to replace the attachment in our relationships with love. A mind of cherishing love is peaceful and controlled. With a mind of love, we develop sincere concern for others and work for their happiness. Just to mention a few reasons why some don't know love: HATRED UN FORGIVENESS OF SELF AND OTHERS NEGLECT ABANDONMENT LACK OF NURTURING AS A CHILD HURT ABUSE BY OTHERS ABUSE TO SELF These are just a drop in the bucket.. So many place themselves, outside of themselves, then withdraw deep within themselves, placing them in and without love.. OH I am having a hard time explaining this, as you explained it so well already! Loving oneself, and forgiving oneself... I feel is one of the most important things to learn on any journey in life..All other things will fall in place with this understanding.. Also love and compassion are not supposed to be moral ideals that one should attempt to live up to but rather they are the natural way of being! Thank you.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 , Thank you for what you have written; it explains some things for me. You mentioned a few reasons why some don't know love. Just in your few examples there are several that I identify with. When you are abused by others (which creates self-abuse), not nurtured as a child, neglected how do you make peace with them? Those are a few I identify with but also to me create self-hatered and unforgiveness of self. I don't want to remain in that place. I'm unsure of how to let it go and realize that is not the person I am. Daily this is something I am working on changing, but find when it comes to my critical thinking of myself it re-inforces the negative way I've been treated or how I was talked to. I do not want to repeat this pattern anymore. It's time for me to make changes, but I don't quite know how to go about it. Any suggestions? Blessings! ~A~ Domestic Violence is a Crime!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 you are so right. Forgiveness of one self is EXTREMELY important. We are the hardest on ourselves, even if we're a victim and have no control over a situation. We still seem to blame ourselves for it. I also think we're all brought into this world understanding what love is, because as you so brilliantly stated:"Also love and compassion are not supposed to be moral ideals that one should attempt to live up to but rather they are the natural way of being!"We ARE love! It's our natural way of being. I love that, thank you for putting it into words. I think some people lose touch with love for being overwhelmed with one or more of those unfortunate situations that you listed. The most significant time for us to learn how to perceive emotions is when we're young. I also believe that for those people, there was always one person that stuck out in their heads as being the one to show them their first act of love. Sometimes, just one kind gift (such as a smile, or a person to lean on when they most need it) can teach someone the meaning of love. Or at least be the key for them later to bridge the connection. My mother was that source of unconditional love for me and my brother. If it wasn't for her, I don't think we would have a clue what love was. We were very very lucky. True love is ego-less. True love is unconditional.
