Love Wins
I have shared that my recent motto is “Truth Floats and Love Wins.” In a recent blog, we inspected the first claim. This time let’s dive into the second — that Love Wins.
I want to suggest that love is not just a feeling or a thought…it’s a condition of coherence, an experience of alignment with the truth of what is. Love accepts everything as it is in the field without condoning the unethical and then goes about fixing what’s possible, while keeping harmonious rapport in relationship.
A friend named Aqeela Sherrills (featured in THRIVE at 1:50:41) abandoned his membership in his LA gang. Then Aqeela’s son got shot and killed in a random killing. Former gang brothers showed up on his doorstep to find out on whom to exact revenge. Aqeela said, “No. This has to stop somewhere, so let’s have it stop with me.” And it did. Aqeela helped NFL football legend Jim Brown broker a historic peace treaty between the Crips and the Bloods.
Love wins because it’s the ground of being — the 1st principle, the true nature of the Unified Field. It’s the same reason why truth floats!
More clarity = more energy = more love, and then one is less apt to initiate violation, and more apt to protect oneself and others.
Ai — from AI-KI-DO, the non-violent Japanese martial art — means “the Great Love”. This refers to merging with the energy flow of the universe.
“The purpose of Aikido is not to defeat an enemy but to overcome the discord within ourselves and to make the whole world one family.”
— Morihei Uyeshiba, Founder of Aikido
I had been practicing Aikido for three years when I approached my teacher after class and said, “I can’t see how I would ever think fast enough with these techniques to fend off a real attacker at a black belt level.” My teacher said, “Yes, that will never work. You need to view your attacker with soft eyes, like a mountain in the distance, and let yourself be one with him. Then, after you have practiced that long enough, with your techniques, your body will know spontaneously how to blend with the attack and neutralize it. That’s Ai — the great love.” Two years later, after my successful black belt exam, my teacher approached with a smile, saying “Yea, see…like that!”
It’s been a fruitful ongoing challenge to apply that same approach to revealing the nefarious perpetrators of the Global Domination Agenda. As Kimberly says of them, “I am a friend of your soul and an enemy of your project.”
Love is who you are and it’s your job to realize that and to live it as the “I am.” Love (like forgiveness) is a gift you give yourself, that then you can share with others. Love doesn’t depend on others but includes them.
Until I met Kimberly, I didn’t know if my dream was possible of what love in primary relationship could be like. It’s turned out that my experience has surpassed what I had even hoped for. Why? Besides enjoying attraction and compatibility, our relationship is based on earned trust — which allows for vulnerability in mutual learning. We keep our agreements with each other, with ourselves and with source. We lean on each other, when necessary, but the default condition is that we stand and move joyously beside one another, relishing the shared commitment to integrity, to kindness, to love.
Still water finds its level. Relaxation of breathing, body and mind restores balance and postural alignment. As perturbations in the field calm, the geometry goes back to the zero point — to the Vector Equilibrium.
“Love,” “truth” and “freedom” are all words that point to the same relationship of our self to our Self, of our observer to our essence, of our creating to our source.
Here’s how I described the “Science of Love” in THRIVE II:
Aligning with the unified field can lead to an experience of resonance, that we call love. Not a romantic crush kind of love, but the Big Love, coming into harmony with the life force itself. Applying reason and practice to unleashing our spiritual essence is what I call the ‘Science of Love,’ a finite set of skills to access the state of harmony. These skills are physical, emotional, mental, and interpersonal and it’s possible to get good enough at each of them to experience a deeply fulfilling and effective life. I believe these skills are not only obtainable, but in fact, evolving new abilities is ordained in our evolutionary code. So what does it take? A clear destination — freedom. A map of how to get there — the arc of process. A compass — the Non-Aggression Principle. And a strategy — restoring wholeness to natural systems… Aligning with the field. We were born to do this. We were born to thrive.
One of the most exciting realizations of my lifetime, that brought a huge and lasting sense of relief, is when I came to understand that what is moral is also, in the long run, what works best for nurturing thriving individuals and communities.
On the one hand, coercion leads to fraud, theft, rape, murder, slavery, poverty, starvation and tyranny. On the other hand, voluntary association and the Non-Aggression Principle lead to motivation, creativity, productivity, collaboration, peace, morality and love.
It is the coercion of Socialism/Communism/Fascism that led to the democide of over 200 million citizens (not counting wars) by their own tyrannical rulers in the 20th century alone. It is the free market which lifted more people out of poverty in that same century than all other systems throughout recorded history.
We live in a universe of free will. So we can go against the flow. But as surely as when we hold our breath, we ultimately let go into the natural dynamics of the field. In the long run life shows us that…Truth floats and Love wins!
To maintain one’s balance while learning to dance
Is learned from the Spirit, and the seat of one’s pants.
Such strength is required to touch to the chord,
Yet each moment we do it is love’s own reward.
— Foster Gamble, 1975
