IMAGINE: The LOVE Based Initiative

[drhugabunch]

Note: When humankind realizes how connected we all are, this will lead to a PEACE like the world has never known.



IMAGINE: The Love Based Initiative:



In a time when technology should be tearing down walls that separate people, we seem to be building them higher. I want to keep the goals of the love based initiative simple: to break down walls.



To show that there can be a national or world spirituality that

doesn't conflict with individual freedom and freedom of thought. That compliments and does not necessarily conflict with ones choice of faith.



For a long time I had the attitude of a warrior. I wanted to attack those who built institutions with a foundation of fear, morality and conformity therefore suppressing the American values of individual freedom and freedom of thought. I now feel if their foundation becomes one of Love, Truth and Understanding, they can embrace this with open arms. I feel it's important that people unite in the name of Love!



As a child I thought in order to have any kind of spirituality, you had to take a leap of faith and you better leap in the right

direction, for your eternity depended on it. Well I found out

different; in 1989 I met on a heart space (fell in love).



From the very first night there was an unspoken communication between us we would say the same thing at the same time and share common thoughts. She was a professional counselor, and I was there for a healing purpose. I thought of the association as professional- client and the communication as person to person. I was not seeking what unfolded!!



It happen on the very first night of our meeting, I did not know it at the time but people do fall in love (meet on heart space) in an in instance. In the months that followed I went through four distinct steps. My first step was to try to deny it, to play it down as an infatuation; after all she was an attractive lady. My second step was to try to destroy it by looking at the rational. I had a family, two daughters and a son that was less then a year old. My third step was to run away from it. I stop seeing this counselor. This did not work!



Step four; The Epiphany!!



I made an appointment and went down to see this counselor, and then it all came together. This was a joint adventure, I remember telling her what she feels for me is what she suppose to feel for everyone one the face of the planet. Inside I heard myself say what are you doing you fool, this is your soul mate. I told her that she has to see past the additive side of love, inside my head again (you fool

you are going to lose your hold on her). I guess it is true, if you love someone, set them free if they return it's meant to be.



You can always be more for that special by being more for yourself, they can always be more for you, if you let them see that they are whole and complete within themselves.



It was a joint insight, and spirit was there, we both came to see that we needed to embrace this love we have for each other without demand or expectation, to love unconditionally. We did not have to hold, embrace or even be apart of each others life.



In conclusion: When two people meet on a heart space (fall in love). This open up an intuitive even telepathic connection between them, they have common thoughts even say the same thing at the same time. This is the spiritual connection, not to take away from the romantic connection (two individuals sharing the beauty of the world because they rationally choose to be together). It is a wonderful feeling to fall in love, where we get into trouble the ego see the other person as the source of those feelings, then the ego reaches out to possess

that person in one way or form, just to hold on to those feelings. This is the just the addictive side of love, for "love is sufficient unto love" and "love has no other desire except to fulfill itself"



A Paradox



My thoughts have been lately on how to glorify the romantic

connection. To reflect the real beauty that is there!



In the intuitive connection we elevate everyone as a brother or sister having a deep fellowship with and friendship without reason and still yet for all reasons. To love in a way that does not even demand itself in return, a love that is whole and complete within itself. I do feel this is the spiritual connection.



I also feel the romantic connection is also spiritual, two people sharing the beauty of the world because they choose to be together, to find meaning, to share common hopes and dreams, to raise a happy healthy family. To walk side by side, hand in hand, heart to heart into a better tomorrow for each other, for their family and all humankind.



We can have a deep connection with all and still have a deep intimate connection with one. Not to weigh one against the other but to embrace both with reverence and passion.

We can have a rational world were people are thinking and planning for a better world for all people. We can keep a free economy by seeking balance. The strong must take care of the week but the weak must become strong for themselves. The bottom line has to change from all for me and none for you to prosperity for all.



We do need to keep people out of our schools who goals are control and to seek conformity rather then educate, enlighten and embrace individual freedom and freedom of thought.



Love is the light and the way, love is the truth that sets us free!



Intuitively you can feel, that there is a oneness space that

transcends time and space, if you love somebody they are never far away even in death.



Faith, Hope, Love the greatest of these is Love!



There is a morality contained in this, to the right thing, because you are apart of the oneness of all that is, to do the wrong thing would be like cutting off your own leg, or in lighter terms when you hurt others, you hurt yourself.



Love takes away all the commandments yet all the commandments are contain in love, love does know right from wrong.



When the spiritual connection is made through love, faith becomes a secondary inner knowing.





"The lovers of the world need to become more vocal"

- Dr. Leo Buscaglia-



This insight, this epiphany was the direct result of two books

(James Allen's)( As a man thinketh) and ( Key Keyes Jr.)( The Handbook to Higher Consciousness)



Some of my favorite quotes from these books are: "As a man or woman thinketh, in his or her heart so is he or she" James Allen



The Law of Higher Consciousness states "To love everyone

unconditionally including yourself" Ken Keyes Jr.



"Falling in love is not a basis for involvement" Ken Keyes Jr.



My dad did teach me to stand tall and be real, and though, every individual can find this for themselves; I will attest to all truths here. Larry O. Blevins







Namaste- The Divine in me recognizes and honors The Divine in you, and knows that we are one.



"Hearts are opening up to spirit and to unconditional love. The 100th monkey phenomena is creating a chain reaction and mass consciousness growth. And we will knock the foundation out from under the hierarchy of fear! Those in tune with their intuition can feel this taking place!"

Larry O. Blevins



The Hundredth Monkey

By Ken Keyes Jr.



The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand.



The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her

mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.



This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes. Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes - the exact number is not known.

Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.



THEN IT HAPPENED!



By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough! But notice. A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea



Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes. Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

nice read. the 100th monkey theory is where we based our critical mass theory. i hope we can gather more minds here so that we can hasten the critical mass. thanks

I too like the idea of the love-based iniative, and yeah, certainly critical mass. Woohoo, count me in the monkeys!

Did the heart space just appear or was it there all the time? The collective energy of so many hearts being there is making it easy to find! The hundredth monkey phenomena is beginning to hasten the critical mass understanding! People are finding a touch of Heaven here on earth in the heart space! ~ Larry O. Blevins ~

[drhugabunch]

Imagine: The Love Based Initiative, a spark that will help ignite critical mass!

[drhugabunch]

The time for healing is now, Imagine: The Love Based Initiative can break down the walls of bigotry whether, gender, racial, religious of political!

[silkcatseye]

I might sound silly but I don't understand what you mean when you meantioned Heart space?
