Anther ONE-derful Wednesday at the Kindness Temple with kindred spirits. These were the 3 things I shared:
1. Kindness
2. Kindness in Silence
3. The Earth CommUNITY
1. Kindness
Hermano Rahul shared how important was for him the realization of Rev. Heng Sure's determination to walk 3 step and one bow until he could "straighten his tongue". Then, there is something intrinsically powerful about a person whose thoughts, words and actions are aligned. Ernesto "Che" Guevara once said: "Say what you think, do what you say." and he added:
"...let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality... We must strive every day so that this love of living humanity will be transformed into actual deeds, into acts that serve as examples, as a moving force."
Along these lines then, this (mix)quote came to mind/heart:
Kindness in words creates confidence
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness
Kindness in giving creates love
Therefore, the highest form of wisdom is kindness
If you want to be a rebel, be kind
Human-kind, be both
2. Kindness in Silence
and last Wednesday's night in the middle of our collective silence, I realized that:
Kindness in silence creates unity.
3. The Earth CommUNITY
There is no community without a unifying story.
We are living very exciting times in the history of humanity. The Earth Charter captures this cosmic ephemeral moment:
"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth Community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace. Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations."
Our unifying story is the unfolding Great Turning in times of uncertainty, where we find light and amplify it in the midst of darkness; where we tap into courage and compassion to become a Love Amplified Stimulated Emission Radiation, that is: a LASER of love.
Let's keep sharing our (r)evolutionary love treating each other as brothers and sisters, as the Grand Human Family that we are. We are all in this together. Let's keep sharing our unifying stories to expand our consciousness to a newer collective and more powerful realm.
May all become compassionate, courageous and wise.
