The Second Commandment: Love Everything – Part 2

As we saw yesterday, the positive aspect of Love Everything is performing Right Action within Radical Acceptance.

One translation of this commandment is “do no harm.”  This is a central part of the Hippocratic oath for physicians, and all health professionals.  On a personal level we can consider not overeating, not smoking, not over-spending, as doing no harm to ourselves.

An important part of Love Everything, is to fill your own cup before letting it overflow to others. 

Love yourself first, not with selfishness, but with radical acceptance.  Love yourself within the realization that if you are not healthy, then you cannot fully help others to live a more healthy life. 

The positive is engaging in practices that increase the health of body, mind, and connection to Spirit, also known as Source.  This is true for both for ourselves and helping others to do so as well. 

It takes discipline to love correctly. 

So, you can do Right Action for yourself. 

 

What about right action for others?  Other humans, other animals, and indeed, take responsibility for right action in all aspects of life, even using toilet paper with respect. 

Within the thousand-year view we realize that we must care for the earth if we wish to continue on as a species.  As I have said before the earth will survive. 

If we die out as a human species, another more pollution and radiation resistant species will arise to take our place as the sensory organs of Source.

However, you can make significant errors under the label Love Everything. 

 

These are the negative aspects of Love Everything. 

This is where I got stuck previously.  I felt confused.  I couldn’t put all of the positive and negative aspects of Love Everything into an organized perspective. 

I woke up one morning and this Table formed in my mind! 

The Love Everything Table of Errors

	Positive Errors	Negative Errors	Ignorance Errors
Self	Narcissism	Self Harm	Unconscious Self Shadow
Others	Idiot Compassion	Unfair    Punishment	Unconscious Societal Shadow

You can see that there are errors for regarding the self and actions toward the self.  There are separate errors in regarding and actions for others. 

Across self and others there are errors we can classify similar to The Three Emotions, positive, negative, and ignorance.

We will explore these together further in greater depth within future blog postings.
