The two cannot live long together here on earth. The human spawns new levels of hate while Love evaporates and morphs into energies that create new forms of Life elsewhere in this Universe. Hate and fear destroy while Love endlessly creates through spiritual evolution. This is the DNA factor that lives in all of us, as the pedestrian mentality; this is why even when we take two steps forward in Love, we take three steps backward in fear.

We mistake impulse for intuition, hate for Love and selfishness for Wisdom…all due to how our chemistry works through the DNA and heritable traits of “natural selection.” We do not see, nor care to see, the bigger picture of this world and Life itself. Our energies are nullified of Love because we live from our human chemistry (body chemistry) instilled in us from our ancestors and their primordial sense of survival.

As humans, we live to survive through our chemical makeup alone. Typically, we sense the DNA that sends messages (via chemicals in the body) as well as impulses from ancient past lives that we have lived, but have long forgotten due to a lack of consciousness. Few ever recognize this because it takes a sense of consciousness to become aware of what is really occurring – not only within us, but also throughout humankind, the collective unconscious. All of this is occurring in our unconscious mind throughout every moment of our lifetime. We live as biology and not as the Divine.

We cannot have “loving thoughts.” We can think emotionally, not spiritually. This is a perplexing dilemma within this lifetime. Ture insight, which comes from Love, is never a “thought,” but rather a revelation that takes the form of impressions that occur through consciousness.

It is not a war between “good” and “evil” – it is simply that we do not understand why we feel the urgent need to survive. All we know is that we must survive at all costs. Spiritual awakening has no place in our psychology or in our thinking processes.

This story of the Blind Men and the Elephant is found in ancient Jain, Hindu and Buddhist sources dating as far back as 500 B.C. The parable illustrates the human mind’s fallibility in light of the divine mystery.

A Rajah brought six blind men to an elephant and asked them to tell him what an elephant is The first blind man put out his hand and touched the side of the elephant. “How smooth! An elephant is like a wall.”

The second blind man put out his hand and touched the trunk of the elephant. “How round! An elephant is like a snake.”

The third blind man put out his hand and touched the tusk of the elephant. “How sharp! An elephant is like a spear.”

The fourth blind man put out his hand and touched the leg of the elephant. “How tall! An elephant is like a tree.”

The fifth blind man reached out his hand and touched the ear of the elephant. “How wide! An elephant is like a fan.”

The sixth blind man put out his hand and touched the tail of the elephant. “How thin! An elephant is like a rope.”

An argument ensued, each blind man thinking his own perception of the elephant was the correct one. The Rajah, awakened by the commotion, called out from the balcony. “The elephant is a big animal,” he said. “Each man touched only one part. You must put all the parts together to find out what an elephant is like.”

Enlightened by the Rajah’s wisdom, the blind men reached agreement. “Each one of us knows only a part. To find out the whole truth we must put all the parts together.”

He who has sight is the one who knows the truth, the bigger picture, about the elephant. His vision of the elephant transcends the partial, fragmentary understanding of the blind men who can only touch small portions of the elephant. Rajah knows the truth of the Divine Mystery.”

Authentic spiritual insights are not a matter of thought! They do not come in the form of thought. Rather insight is a matter of how long a person can sustain, EMPTINESS. If a person is totally immersed in the jadedness of a psychology that dictates mere logic and reason based upon a narrow, biased aperture as the premise for reality, then the bigger picture will not be available to them and, hence, the value of EMPTINESS is lost.

Learning how to attain to emptiness through mindfulness and meditation brings us to the blessed state of consciousness, which is the first step into awakening. It is important to just sit without the need to think. This is one of the greatest therapies a person can practice and accentuate into their living.

Consciousness creates awareness of Love. In this awareness, we realize the bigger picture of everything that is occurring, exactly as it is occurring. Now, instead of being labored by words and thoughts, we are available for insights that reveal a world that lives within and all around us that our human senses can never detect.

This can be achieved, and when we use our energies well in order to realize this kind of mind, we come to know that which our genetic thinking can never offer and never think.

We come to know Love.
