The Idea, of Love.
The uniqueness of love, is unique, because its indescribable. Anyone attempting to describe love, will do so, only as an approximation - there is no precise description of Love, it simply can never be. However, there is a universally understood idea regarding the reality of Love, its an ancient idea, absolutely universal and today, nearly forgotten. Its the real idea represented in the story of the savior Jesus Christ - The Messiah. His gentleness and calmness, could only, ever, exude Love - oppressive harshness the anti-thesis of Love. He personified the reality of love, because he was in a constant state of [willing] surrender in the presence of divine will - The Father. Jesus was in a state of constant Ihsan - to live in a state where one sees God and God sees the one who acknowledges his truth, absolutely - it’s a knee-quivering moment - where one wants only to sob. The root of will is Love, hence Jesus, the Father and those filled with the spirit are one in the same - the personification of the virtue of Love - the highest of attributes. Jesus was the willing sacrifice to demonstrate the idea of [personal] sacrifice for an ideal that is greater than the self - love of the other - such an idea has no basis in material evolution in the context of survival of the fittest, especially when there is a clear choice to do that which does not require one to be sacrificed. Sacrifice is why humans transcend above other animals, who exist in the context of pre-defined functions - although still conscious and aware; an animal’s scope of imagination is fundamentally limited, a humans is not. The true Lover attempts to save all - most importantly the ignorant sinners - whilst never raising a finger to hurt those willfully knowing creators of corruption - love can only smile at the child having a tantrum, pushing over another’s sandcastle - those with great power never want to hurt, they want to save or at the very least be left alone. The idea of Jesus Christ was Love coming to save in the context of the choice to do evil - the absence of love. It’s not that love cannot exist with evil, it can, the challenge is that the choice to do evil actively attempts to destroy love, since evil knows nothing else, other than evil - pure selfishness - like fire and its all-consuming nature, tamed by the all-consuming reality of mercy - Jesus Christ being raised up - towards that which is eternally better. Ultimately, evil is an illusion, since it’s bound to a moment in eternal time, a local action - in the mind then in the [material] environment - finite, the total potential scope of a local action, for us, is this physical Earth; the choice to be natural - to acknowledge the existence of the maker - is a forever unfolding of unimaginable imagination, you can’t bind and bound imagination - the scope is timelessness.
time flows through created conscious agents, eternally, thus requiring God’s constant imagination for the eternal conscious agent to exist and be free.
The personal sacrifice of Jesus Christ was a public demonstration of Love - the willingness of the self to be used as an example to others of what actual sacrifice for love is - so that others may come to know and understand the true feeling of love, like a mother born with a disabled child and sacrificing for love - even though the mother may not want to drink from the cup, the willing mother submits so the child may feel and in feeling that love concludes that God chose disability to demonstrate the truth of selfless love, the mother, the child and all those who bear witness. Ignorance is a disability, however unlike a physical disability the cure for ignorance is the word that is spoken and then reflected upon, the Messiah is the one who saves the ignorant ones caught in the middle of God and the ones who want to destroy that undeniable truth, the mercy of God is therefore not that sin is allowed to happen but that the majority are ignorant on how easy it is to contain sin - God is patient in waiting for people to awaken upon understanding the essence of the word.
Fear of the expert opinion of the misguided Pharisees - always a true minority the majority mindfully watching their flocks - is what resulted in the masses blindly allowing the crucifixion of an innocent human being who had a perspective rooted in enlightened rationalism - nothing Jesus Christ spoke can be contradicted, the general consensus based on the available evidence outlined in the bible is that the character of Jesus Christ would have been found innocent - if the majority had knowledge and reason Pilot would never have been compelled to wash his hands - the story isn’t, therefore, the “evil” Pharisees - they were created with a nature to deceive - it was a demonstration of how far the majority - of conscious human beings - will go in believing falsehoods, it was the most beloved of the beloved Jesus Christ - may eternal blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul - who stepped forward to be the hero in that true story related to ignorance. It was the minority of experts - self-prescribed Pharisees - who were given the power to delude and deceive the masses who entrusted their final judgment to them, ignorance is the sin we are born with, and the gift is the choice to either know & reason or knot. The idea underpinning Jesus Christ - an innocent person being harassed, humiliated, tortured and then crucified - is a story that is being manifested - in one form or another - at every moment where consciousness is collapsed to an arbitrary and circumstantial material existence, it’s why human beings cannot be God, we are susceptible to our ignorance whilst demanding that our ego be recognized and applauded as God-like, the idea rooted in the story of the Gospels is how corrosive a fixation on position and status is in perpetuating suffering, the solution is simple and is rooted to the European tradition of empiricism - it’s the mechanism for how any expert can be challenged - the choice is to follow the truth of the data and information or follow self-proclaimed experts who use the ignorance of the masses to subvert truth unchallenged, and if the idea of empiricism is a shared idea - in providing certainty - then there are no experts, just the data and information with an enlightened perspective that aims to create balance and harmony - the truth of love - anything else should be viewed with great suspicion.
A pearl at the bottom of a beautiful lagoon does not suffer and in not suffering is limited in its imaginative scope, conscious imagination is exposed to the experience of suffering so the truth of love can be manifest - from the one who endures suffering and the one who demonstrates love in attempting to alleviate another’s suffering; irrationality emerges when one is deceived into thinking that suffering, in of itself, is evil, it is not, it’s necessary to demonstrate the character of the one who has knowledge of love and in that knowledge bears it & works to remove it - we have been created in the image of God to imagine and in that imagining we choose. And if suffering is not alleviated or removed within finitude, then eternity awaits for the one who exists in a moment of sincere struggle - so as to continue to be like the idea of Abraham - bearing witness to the One and nothing else.
Love can appear and disappear at will - of The Will - not the will of the one who chooses to indulge - which will only ever be a perception. When God wants to demonstrate the power of will, love is removed and in its place will flood a type of darkness, that presents ideas, that are like the nature of adultery - which is called sin - an ever-present potential choice to unnecessarily hurt and deceive another instead of doing as Jesus Christ did - speak well; today we are numb to feeling since there is no closeness of true companionship - the one ignoring the other so as to indulge. However, ironically, it’s in sin that mercy emerges - the one cannot exist without the other - mercy is the choice to turn from that which is excessive to that which is moderate, mercy bounds sin. So even in evil, there is always a choice to do that which is not evil - or at least not return to it once its consequences are experienced in the unnecessary suffering of the other. The Father has mercy, the Son has only Love - of the Father and all the Father creates - it permeates everything since it is the mechanism for The conscious reality to create, its the truth of consciousness creating consciousness - the perfect being wanting to share the reality of the power of choice, which must include the choice to do evil, without which there is no choice to struggle, disharmony and chaos allows for the truth of struggle and sacrifice to emerge, without which there only exists a series of “good” actions - there is no imaginative power in such a limited state of awareness, its why Adam is elected higher than angels - the scope of imaginative power is immense when it includes all possible choices. We have been blessed with a gift, behind the veil of shame one may explore the limits, look to the stars - the limits are vast in the secret company of those who can keep secrets :)
Jesus was the message, the example and the reality of God, all at the same time - the attribute of infinite love. Jesus did not come to absolve the sins of mankind, but to provide a stark and clear example of the extreme delusions of believing one has the scope of power like God, whilst being bound to finite material existence - especially those who choose to invoke unnecessary and unjustified suffering on those who are innocent and live for the love of God - like a child. Love see’s itself in the mirror, and so it manages our lies, tolerates our distortions, is willing to be sacrificed to death itself, in the hope that the one staring back in the mirror will see with eyes that sees, hear with ears that hear and understands with a mind that understands, the reality of an eternal and created conscious agent, free - in imagination and ideas. For it was the command of The Father to his loved one, to drink from the cup - to determine if love will be reciprocated, and it was, reciprocated, because the reality of true love is sacrifice - it’s only through [personal] sacrifice that truth is manifest - since it defies reason & logic - transcending way beyond it - the reality of God. The demonstration of love was thus not for Jesus and his disciples, nor the Father, it was for the world to bear witness to the highest idea of sacrificial love, an ever-fixed mark, that looks upon tempests and is never shaken, it is the star to every wand’ring bark. The guidance is clear and its beautiful, I am an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ - may eternal and unending blessings be upon his eternally blessed soul.
Jesus understood that all stories of true love, required jealous mischief & villainy - for what else could be the barometer to test if Love will be reciprocated? It has to be death - an illusion, that feels real. The calmness and grace of Jesus Christ, demonstrated the upright humility of Love, in the face of uncaring concern of the deluded perceptions and ideas of those who will never understand love - being thankful to be consciously free in timelessness. When confronted with shameless untruths, distortions, and lies, Jesus was the epitome of calm - a calmness that only true love understands - even as he - the Messiah - was taken away to be crucified, trusting entirely in the ultimate reality of God - Love. And so, Jesus was bought up, no pain, no suffering, just a demonstration for us, as to what reality is like in the absence of Love - a slaughtering and mocking chaos, where everyone looks on, entertained. It would have taken one sincere person to speak clearly, for the illusion to collapse; the absence of Love is slight at first and it’s only the choice of ignorance that allows evil to enter fully, by not speaking - amongst ourselves. Love (the Father) only needs Love (the Christ) in Love (the permeating spirit of Love), to understand, that nothing else is needed - not a single hair from his blessed head was harmed or removed, because absolute Love is in a constant state of submissive service to the other, absorbing Evil, totally forgiving those who wept with regretful repentance - who then took up their cross and Loved also - by speaking the way Jesus spoke and acting the way Jesus did - to be kind. The Gospels are an eternal and ever-present story of Love, and its antithesis Evil - created to manifest the reality of choice, when love becomes absent.
Christians, thus inherit a most beautiful tradition - rooted in the reality of the Torah, the Moral Law - a framework for how Love can blossom when one is bound to the law which facilities loves continued existence. Jesus was the “Light unto the World” manifesting the truth of the Torah, the dedicated teacher relinquishing the material world to demonstrate the truth of the material world, by being of service, in love, to mankind, God’s chosen elect who demand to be held to a higher moral authority - who can bear strict clarity for themselves whilst (at the same time) accepting s flexible ease for others - the true definition of leaders and reasonable elders. The Gospels are truly inspiring, they manifest perfectly the reality of God as created Love, that is, God - the Father, embodied within the being of Jesus the attribute of Love, yes, it is easy for God to manifest any attribute that can be conceived, and Love is one of the highest attributes of God, the essence of the Love inherent in Jesus is the same essence inherent in God, Love truly needs nothing and controls everything - drinking from the cup is the test to determine if one wants to drink from the truth of Love - to awake and be filled.
The Muslims have only ever aspired to be like the Christians in spirit - of the idea of Love. Not only have the Muslims honored the tradition of Love, they mastered it. Let us talk in honor and ignore the anti-theists and divisive ones, they exist as a trial which when recognized becomes meaningless and thus easy to navigate.
