hi cd, and welcome. some thoughts. . .

i seem to have trouble helping people learn the truly great lessons of life though. i know that you should just lead by example, but how do people come to the realization that love truly is the answer? only those who truly want to love will love.

the best thing you can do to help others move forward is to move forward yourself, thus creating a space for somebody else.

contrary to pop-spiritualism, love is not the final answer. many get stuck in this trying to love, love, love all the time, and then feel like a failure when they fall short. this is a trap.

there are many lessons of love to be mastered, and i do not in any form claim to be a master of love. :d however, i will say, that some of these lessons involve appropriate expression of love, codependence masking as love, loving yourself as a means of serving others, discerning spiritual from personal love, and love as folly.

these lessons of love are the part of the 4d curriculum, and as i'm sure you are aware, there are many levels beyond this. also be aware that you need not master all of the lessons of one density to graduate your consciousness to the next. it would appear that mastery of all 4d lessons is not required until graduation to 9d, and i'm quite confident there are very few of us that need be concerned with this right now.

the last lesson i mentioned "love as folly" dovetails directly into 5d lessons which are concerned primarily with wisdom. it would also appear that souls that attempt to tackle this lesson before having a strong footing in the others are most prone to being sidetracked into the negative path. nevertheless, it is important to recognize that pouring love into a leaky cup will not result in a refreshing beverage that can be shared amongst your fellows, but in a mess upon the ground which somebody has to clean up. . . and if you were the one doing the pouring, you are likely to be the one doing the cleaning. in this respect, to not "cast your pearls before swine" means having enough spiritual discernment to recognize that some people are simply not ready for love. they either do not recognize it for what it is, or do not know what to do with it once it is received.

the early 6d curriculum involves an intelligent blending of love and wisdom into compassion. this includes the understanding that sometimes the most loving thing to do is to stand back and allow another to stumble and fall and scrape their knees on the ground so that the scar that is formed will serve as a reminder of what happens when you are not looking where you are going. many of those of 6d consciousness who are closely connected with the evolution of life on this planet at this time are those who have seen the fallout of a grand outpouring of love with a disregard for the wisdom of proper portioning and timing. as a result, they find themselves still here some 13,000-ish years later still cleaning up the mess on the floor.

do not underestimate the power of the "six degrees of separation" rule. focusing your efforts of the spiritual upliftment of the few who can best appreciate the gifts you have to bestow is often times the best way to contribute to the upliftment of humanity as a whole. even a single well-placed word of encouragement to a friend can ripple out in ways that you could not possibly imagine.

you are not being a hypocrite by being a supporter of love, even if you do not behave in loving ways 100% of the time. does a professional housecleaner need to maintain a spotless home in order to be of service in their work? give yourself a break. sounds like you are doing just fine to me!

best regards,
