Aggressive Nature

The other day right after one of my meetings the person I was talking to commented that it was discouraging to realize that humans are basically aggressive to which I responded “they’re not!!”.  As I explained to him, I have observed many times that the thoughts and actions of a person depend on which “seed” or tendency you feed or encourage.  If I am helping someone and I support what I call the “love seed” their behavior can switch from aggressive to loving.  “From everywhere, it seems, we are bombarded with the idea that our nature is innately violent, that our chief preoccupation is with our sexuality, and that our main purpose in life is the acquirement of ever more nifty possessions.......Indeed, it is only through the practice of inner silence that we can begin to disentangle ourselves from our culture and its illusions. (Daniel A. Seeger)

Nightly Meditation

During my nightly meditation, in addition to feeling the “Love, tolerance and compassion” I wrote of two days ago, I broadcast that feeling to the space around me.  When I broadcast that feeling I sense its power more strongly and immerse myself in the sensation, a healing experience.  When I broadcast the feeling I also direct it at myself.  I ask God to join with me and guide me in the whole process.

Meditation

When I meditate each night I very quickly arrive at the “I am” or “Super Conscious” part of myself which is closest to the presence I know as God.  When I am there I can feel God and  communicate with Him/Her/It, a gift I treasure and would not like to live without.  I frequently reflect on the craziness and chaos of myself and other humans around me and the facts that we are killing each other and destroying this planet.  The feeling which comes from God is a mixture of Love, tolerance and compassion similar to but stronger than a parent might feel toward a growing adolescent child.  I then realize that within a loving eternal view — we are doing fine and the earth will survive
