Love Letter

Q. What is the most effective means of spiritual purification?

A. Focus on Love itself.
Lovingness is a way of relating to the world. It is generosity
of
attitude and expresses itself in seemingly small but powerful ways.
It is a wish to bring happiness to others, to brighten their day and
lighten their load.

To merely be friendly and complimentary to everyone one meets
during the course of a day is revealing. That this is not a
commonplace
attitude is revealed by people's response when they encounter it.
Often they respond with surprise or even a pleased state of shock.

"Nobody ever compliments what I do; they only complain," is a
remark that will be heard. Most people, because they are focused
on their own wants and critical attitudes, apparently do not even
see the positive aspects of life and cannot respond to them. They
take others" service for granted with the explanation, "Well, they're
getting paid for it, aren't they?" (Which is beside the point.)

Major segments of society opperate on the level of lovelessness.
Giant corporations, and government agencies (welfare office
personel, traffic court baliffs and clerks, prison and jail guards)
can only be described as dourly functioning. Graitiude does not
appear nor does is it even considered to be socially appropriate.
Love is belittled as 'touchy-feely.'

Love is therefore socially restricted to romance, mothers and their
children, or one's dog. Expressed elsewhere, it becomes an
embarrassment. There are few masculine areas where Love is okay,
such as family, sports, one's country or car.

Love is actually everywhere and its presence needs only to
be realized.
From David R. Hawkins
Just look into the eyes of everyone you meet and mentally say,
"I Love You." If you need a crutch, find something about them you
honestly like..their clothing, a necklace, their hair style...
