I Love You
I begin this blog with a blanket statement: "I Love You". As a matter of fact, this is how I'm going to begin all my subsequent blogs from this day forward. This “I love you” goes out to each and every being on this earth with love in their heart. This “I love you” goes out to every plant, tree, ocean, mountain and sea. To everyone that has come before me and will come long after my bodily presence has passed. It extends well beyond our earthly existence to the farthest limits of the trillions and trillions of galaxies throughout existence. In short, it encompasses life.
Why is this going to be my policy? My answer is: I'm sorry I've taken this long to do something so simple and yet so essential.
The past few years have been filled with such hatred worldwide. It is amazing to me how we can continue to breathe at all: hatred of everything and for everyone. Americans hating each other cause one is a so called Republican and one is a so called Democrat. Hatred of Jews, well, just because they're Jews. Hatred of Arabs, well, because they're Arabs. Hatred of Africans by other Africans. Hatred of Arabs by other Arabs. Hatred, hatred, hatred. What causes all this hatred is simple: FEAR!!!
LOVE has no fear, so where on Earth is there room for fear?
Answer: THERE IS NO ROOM FOR FEAR!
How can we as a people begin to abolish fear? Well, we can start by taking one big Ujjayi breath and understand that this breath is shared by everyone on this planet, and is meant to continue existence. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed (by the way, proven by a Jew - Albert Einstein). "Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts" (Khalil Gibran - Lebanese and Arab). Put this Arab and Jew together and what do you have? You have eternal love for all mankind. Because once you give love it is forever tangible, through the eons of time.
How then, can someone with such gifts as Mel Gibson hate the Jews? FEAR!
How can someone as misguided as Saddam Hussein massacre his own people? FEAR!
How can a multitude of terrorists strap bombs to themselves and walk into a mosque and blow up their brothers and sisters? FEAR!
How can the so called Hezbollah (Party of God) kill anything and anyone they can find? FEAR!
How can Man hate Man? FEAR!
What causes fear? Simply put, fear is judgment. Judgment is a simple lack of understanding and the lack of self awareness to accept that one does not understand everything. Nor is one supposed to.
Organized religion is the largest proponent of fear mankind has ever created. It is based on the concept of “my way is right and all else is wrong.” Apparently scripted by some deity who, although is omnipotent, all loving, and creator of everything, professes mass genocide of all that do not think as the leaders of these religions interpret these deities’ words. Thereby eventually killing everything and everyone, since there are thousands of religions and thousands of Gods all convinced that they’re right and all else is wrong, so let’s kill in the name of God.
FEAR!!!
Please people, now is the time to Love. Love everyone regardless of what they believe is the answer to existence. None of us know anyway, so how can we kill each other over such a mystery. Isn't mystery the spice of life? You can't tell me or anyone for that matter what's going to happen ten minutes from now, so why not live each moment for all that she's worth? And believe me, there's no price tag large enough to encompass a moment. They are all priceless. If you can do this (if you can live moment to moment) you can begin to abolish fear. So make it a point to share your courage by loving someone new today. Take a bold step and hug someone new. Not a day goes by that I don't hug someone different and God, does it feel good!
Namaste,
Mark Blanchard
