Today, the word love,
which was originally a pure concept, is perhaps one of the most
twisted, defamed and ridiculed expressions. This has slowly come to
pass all over the world throughout the millennia of mankind’s
spiritual decadence.
Let us begin with the concept of love thy neighbor.
What has this expression that is such a necessary and sufficient
condition for a correct way of living turned into today? Can we even
make use of it without being on our guard? It has turned into a
synonym of apathy, of weakness and indolence, of inappropriate
tolerance that takes comfort in permitting the mistakes and flaws of
our fellow man.
Today, the love for thy fellow man is an obliging
and false love that is anesthetized in sweet words. This is temporary
because the pain of the person that made a mistake impedes him from
recognizing the cause of his suffering, which infallibly forces the
future repetition of the same suffering because the person commits the
same mistake again. Indeed, this type of love provides a momentary
relief, but at the cost of perennial misery; that magnanimously
distributes alms to the destitute, but not without first subtracting
the treasure of dignity. Yes, it is a love that quickly dries the
tears of the sufferer, but this only enables him to see the beatified
smile and frame the compassionate look of his loving consoler more
clearly.
This cannot be love for your fellow. Love, true
love for thy fellow man is to give him before all else, that which is
useful for him, independent of the fact that it may or may not give
him some ephemeral happiness. It must show him clearly, even though it
may hurt, the mistakes he made, and explain that they will always
return to the generator in the form of continual suffering. It is to
give unrestricted solid support, to he who really makes an effort to
overcome his weaknesses; it is to aid him as he goes through the hard
process of recognizing his mistake, even if it is between the sobs and
the tears. For only one’s own unmerciful and thorough recognition of
the wrong act is capable of making someone change, in a radical way
his inner syntonization. And only a voluntary change of this
syntonization can interrupt once and for all the apparent endless
cycle of intermittent suffering.
Severe
true love opens the doorway with great effort to conquer happiness,
whilst false love passes over it a rusty bolt effortlessly. The
performance of the first is full of obstacles, hindered by strong
misunderstanding and intense criticism, while smiling approvals and
inconsequent eulogies smooths the latter.
This
disastrous concept of false love has spread out like an incurable
pandemia that has ended up being mixed into all the areas of human
life. Even the love between man and woman has succumbed to this decoy.
For many marriages exhibit physical attraction and exacerbate
instincts as a base for these unions and a life in common, and this
they call the unilateral contingency of “love”. It is like this that
the couples, or better said the partners today, still manage to “make
love”, as if such a thing were possible in a true love relationship.
Pure true love between a man and a woman is not subject to random
oscillations of physical performance. It is a spiritual connection of
irradiations, totally independent of mere external physical attributes;
for that reason it doesn't age either with time, it neither become
weaker nor less interesting and it can never extinguish. To the
contrary, true love gets even stronger with time and it gets to such a
stage, it can always reunite the souls connected by it, for a new life
together here on Earth or at any other sphere of Creation. Terrestrial
death doesn't represent any obstacle for true love. No grave is
capable of confining it, because it is not formed of matter or subject
to it.
And how about motherly love? Let’s not forget
filial love either? Both these were also originally natural and
beautiful now they are hopelessly impregnated with false love. For
centuries maternal love has been praised as the most noble of female
emotions, as if femininity’s principal mission were just to generate
children to be able to give merit to this very sentiment. Nobody
remembered that the human being, man or woman, is essentially a
spiritual being, and as such has to act so primarily. Procreation is
not the human couple’s principal function; to consider it as so is to
promote an intentional lowering of the true role and the real mission
of the human spirit in Creation. It is a voluntary abjection, unworthy
of the human species, resulting also from chronic spiritual indolence
that discards intuition totally at any deliberation and invariably
suppresses any attempt of deeper thinking. In fact, this is the
principal reason why the saying “ grow and multiply” was happily
received as a very special revelation, and put into practice with
frightening precision and admirable performance since the start.
The age-old odes struck up in praise of maternal
love, as if the woman was no more than a gracious two-legged
reproducer, transformed it into an unhealthy burden that undermines
free spiritual development that has affected both the mother and her
children. She is made to believe that she holds absolute and permanent
rights over the offspring, whilst the latter imposes the obligation of
eternal gratitude, even if it is often under the mantle of hypocrisy.
Not to mentioning the loathsome commercialism of filial “love”. The
American Anna Jarvis, at the beginning of the last century
inadvertently created “Mothers' day”, and personally insisted that
this commemoration be adopted in another 43 countries. When her life
was coming to an end in 1948 she was completely bitter with her
“invention”. She died a recluse, eaten up by disgust and suffering,
having to witness her initial purpose, apparently quiet innocuous and
well intentioned, become a global commercial aberration.
Throughout the millennia false love has inserted
itself in human conceptions in such a way that even the efforts in
correctly understanding our Creator's work have been hopelessly
twisted by it. Therefore, it is even imagined today that Jesus himself
had also been obliging and condescending this way trying to show by
uncontested proof the act of Divine Love. He, who was the Love of God
incarnate on Earth, and that is why he was particularly severe with
the cerebral creatures of that time, and it was this that was
presented as a maximum example of the act of false love, which was
generated exclusively by the indolence of the human spirit and
conserved by his blindness. Mankind has even got to the stage of
considering His death on the cross as having been a voluntary
sacrifice, a holocaust wanted and programmed in advance by the Most
High, for the automatic redemption of this Earth’s inhabitants, while
in fact such a dreadful event, the fruit of sinful humanity's
free-will, was nothing more than a brutal murder. Thus His word, the
only way to salvation, became a candid acceptance of this conception
about the inevitable death of the Son of God. False love has won once
more, and has obtained here its greatest triumph. It has entangled all
of Christianity in the comfort of false hope, leaving the Master's own
words in second plan, whose unconditional fulfillment was the only
possibility of reaching the longed for salvation.
But like everything else that is still wrong, false
love also finds itself with its days counted. In the future, when we
are forced to relearn the real meaning of the word love, we will
certainly think twice, better ten times before we dare pronounce it
again.
