Igniting a Revolution from the Heart

 Ask any person what matters most in life and the answer will invariably be one of Love. We all know that at the end of our journey, what we will be remembered for, what will be our lasting legacy is how we were able to impact the lives of others, supporting them and serving as an example that made their lives better. Ways that we contributed to the common good.

This universal striving towards living a meaningful life must come from within our very design. It is the within our DNA, the purpose of our existence. It is a force that compels us forward in realizing our greatest potential, our highest Ideals. These Ideals of Love have been captured by the great teachers of Love. They are evident throughout all of history. They are in our Ideals In our constitution, our wedding vows, our affirmations. 

This place within goes by many names, but the one that tops them all is name Heart. Our Heart speaks to us as our Ideals of Love. It is the supreme authority for guiding us in fulfilling our purpose. Our Heart is the sacred space of Love, and was not designed to be violated and broken. We grow our Heart in our becoming of Love, ever expanding the unique expression of Love that we are, to infinity and beyond!. 

Some would argue that this is mere fantasy, that the world is a vicious place, not one of Heart, that many people do live this way. My answer to them is that it is not because this reality of Heart is not there, it is because they are not connected to it. 

How do we all come into a deep experience of knowingness of our Heart? The surest way is to contemplate our Love for another, imagining our hopes and wishes for that persons life. This simple ‘Blessings Exercise’ reveals our shared Ideals of Love, accessed by putting our thoughts on another. This is an extraordinary awareness, showing us a core principle. We can even give it a name; instead of the golden rule, this shall be the platinum rule: ‘do unto others as you would do unto someone you love’. 

By living from the Heart, we see everyone from through the eyes of Love. We recognize our interconnectedness in Heart, that we are all unique yet originate from the same design and purpose of Love. That we share in One Heart. 

We also understand that we alone are ultimately responsible for growing the capacity for Love, growing our Heart. We along are responsible for the person we become in this journey of life, through expressing and growing our Heart, and are therefore the masters of our own morality, our own capacity to choose Love. 

This is the conversation that the Ideals of Love Movement shall champion. The question is, can we believe it? Can it be more than a passing inspiration, one that can fade when things get tough, our can we come to believe it with absolute certainty,  beyond all doubt? Can our knowing of Love be grounded in our beliefs of Love?  This leads us to our next cause- Integrity. 

When we examine the Ideals of Love we captured from the Blessings Exercise, we recognize that they involve all relationships in all stages of life. We recognize that all relationships are interconnected, they are integrated. As such, our Ideals of Love are a system of integration, they are the purpose that all people and all things have in common, our shared, unifying purpose. Only by recognizing this integration are we able to fulfill them in our lives, relationships and the world. 

As the light of integration shines on our lives, it exposes the ignorance and confusion of being separated from this knowledge, which results in the reality that is dis-integrated. We realize that we do not want to live a life nor live in a world of disintegration, which is akin to the body having a sickness. We are compelled to make the changes in our life, our relationships and for all of humanity. This shall be a disruption, there is no way around it. Acknowledging that this shift of consciousness towards the world of Love will bring disruption is the third cause of the Ideals of Love Movement- Revolution.

Ultimately, we recognize that there is one, grand, unifying system of integration of which we are part. Thus, because the Universe is the substantiation of Love, we have a tangible, empirical world in which we can observe in order to understand how to realize Ideals of Love for our own lives and relationships. Love is realized through Unchanging truths/principles, expressed as infinite varieties of beauty and leading towards the ultimate expression of goodness. 

We can align our Intellect, emotion and will- our consciousness with the truth, beauty and goodness of Love to develop a belief system of Love. These are the beliefs that give us certainty in Love’s purpose. As we develop and align with these beliefs, we experience a shift in consciousness, into an integrated consciousness, otherwise know as living with integrity. This way of living carries into our decision making in our relationships, as our values become one of Love, our visions become ones of Love and our missions are all centered on Love. 

As we go about our day, we do not stop and examine our beliefs before we or do we have interactions. Not do we give someone a checklist of beliefs before we are willing to interact with them. In many relationships, we already know they have different beliefs than us, yet we still enjoy each other’s company. What determines whether we are attracted or repelled to engage a relationship?        When deciding who to relate to, we unconsciously ask ourselves; ‘is this relationship valuable to me, what visions do I have for Love in this relationship, and by acting, will it serve to fulfill my mission of Love?’ Others are making the same calculation. Thus, it’s all about values, visions, and mission

By declaring that our beliefs come from our Heart, we are telling religion, academia, ideologies, and culture, that we will embrace ideas that serve the purpose of Love and discard those that do not. As our consciousness rises, it shall overthrow beliefs that do not serve in fulfilling Love’s purpose. Heart’s standard of truth, beauty and goodness shall challenge all existing standards. This is why the mention of a new paradigm suggests a disruption of the status quo, a call to tear down the old ways and erect a new set of ideas. It shall ignite a revolution, not of guns and killing but a revolution from the Heart! It is the only way forward, The age of integrated consciousness is at hand!

It is the only way forward. Embedded within the existing paradigms are the limiting, flawed and confusing beliefs that are the cause of all dis-integration. They do not have the power of ideas to break through to a world of peace. 

 When change threatens the establishment, the reaction can become insidious. Those who are invested in positions of power and wealth want to maintain the status quo, and therefore feel justified to discourage others from changing. They are the unteachables, those who don’t care about truth, those who do and say anything for their own benefit. They will make the right wrong, smearing the message, persecuting the messenger, convoluting the facts, telling outright lies, going so far as to inflict bodily harm through torture and murder. Until Love’s purpose is secured, good people do not have the luxury of being passive observers. To need to find within us the readiness to stand up and speak out. The Ideals of Love Movement shall support people in doing so.
