LOVE APART FROM GRACE

What sets Love apart from grace?


Grace comes into play within a relationship where one party has violated a law and hurt the other, often with the offended party being in a higher position.


On the other hand, Love recognizes only itself, existing in all and treating all equally. So, when an individual, mistakenly believing they are someone else, behaves in an unloving or unkind manner, Love doesn't take offense nor hold the transgressor accountable. This is because Love understands that the "other" acted out of a mistaken identity, driven by the DESIRE TO BE God, rather than embracing its true identity as Love

THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL

 The Illusion of Control

 From an early age, we are conditioned to believe that control is synonymous with success and security. We are taught to plan meticulously, set goals, and strive to manipulate our circumstances to achieve the outcomes we desire. This illusion of control, however, often leads to feelings of stress and disappointment when life inevitably deviates from our carefully crafted plans. 



In our pursuit of inner peace, it is crucial to recognize that the notion of absolute control over external events is an illusion. Life is inherently uncertain, and many factors lie beyond our influence. Clinging too tightly to the illusion of control can create a state of constant tension and anxiety.
