Desire is Love's paradoxical motivator

Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness God for the energies of Love. Then for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

Desire is Love’s Paradoxical Motivator

The Great Physician recognized only one remedy for all human stress and ills: forgive all conditions and love again without conditions. When we do not recognize the good in our present state and love it, we become judgmental and conditional with ourselves. We reject the good in our present situation and stress occurs. We demand our good elsewhere and become judgmental and conditional with others and stress re-occurs. We must look again and release our judgments and then stress decreases. We must look again at our neighbor and see his good and release him from our judgment. The positive paradox is that when we stop judging about the bad, we become conscious of the good we love. Love is the source of all good; human judgments are the source of all that seems less than good. For healing, release all limiting judgments and embrace unlimiting Love.

Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing there is a field, I’ll meet you there.
