The World of True Spiritual Acceptance pt.10

Written by Mathew Naismith

Love & Acceptance: I thought about the caption for this as I was going to call it Love is Acceptance because when one is accepting one does feel a lot of emotional love. The reason for this is when we are accepting one is also no longer in conflict to the same extent as before, as soon as we become accepting our emotional reaction changes which feels like love. So is this feeling we get from acceptance love?

Humanly if it feels like love then it must be love however if one was to only experience this through our spirit/inner self  eyes this feeling of love would only be just a change of emotions as the spirit/inner self isn’t of the ego as it’s the ego that defines what emotions are. The spirit self doesn’t have an ego therefore it is unemotional & accepting therefore non-conflictive unlike the ego self.  No matter what emotion it is it denotes conflict in one way or another as I will further explain.

What I am saying here is it’s the ego that defines our emotions & the more inflated the ego the more emotional one is. I will use Hitler for an example her to define what I’m saying more clearly.

Hitler obviously had a huge ego coming up from corporal to chancellor, if you study Hitler’s carrier the more egotistical he became the more emotional he was however when the war started going bad for him he emotionally lashed out because he’s egotism was threatened. There were two quite distinctive modes of emotional periods for Hitler but both of them where egotistically & emotionally driven.

Any emotional feeling one gets is egotistically driven either it be love, hate or something in between & anything that is of the ego is non-accepting & conflictive to one extent or another like with Hitler. This looks like I’m saying love is non-accepting & conflictive so is love of these things? Again to answer this I will use Hitler as an example. When you look at Hitler coming into power & when the war was going in his favour Hitler’s emotional state was quite different to latter on,  Hitler had a great love of his countrymen but once he saw them letting him down latter on in the war he’s love turned to something else & yes at times it turned to hating. So the question still remains is love conflictive? The answer of course is yes but to a much lesser extent than hate. Love is so much less conflictive than hate but it is still conflictive.

Any apposing polarity represents conflicts however the main difference is in the ego in how egotistical one is, the more egotistical the more conflictive one is as shown with Hitler but when the ego is threatened or becomes further inflated the more one seems to hate which is represented by a much bigger conflictive mode of thought than what love would produce.


So this sounds like I’m saying the emotion love is non-accepting as well but I stated before that love was accepting so how can it be both? It’s not both but it can be, love is a more accepting emotion than hate but it still has an opposing polarity as in hate however it is still more accepting & less egotistical than hate. In saying this love can be quite egotistical if we feel we are better in some way to someone else who hates; this is how the opposing polarity love can induce egotism, non-acceptance & an obvious conflict with hate & this is why the concept of accepting works, while you are loving your also learning to accept those things that are opposing to love like hate.  It’s a very peaceful harmonious way in finding & sharing love through acceptance.

This is why it’s very hard for a human to become totally accepting, actually to be totally accepting one would have to change their mode of thought quite extensively to accommodate this which is nearly impossible as we are all driven by the same mode of thought at that time in human history. All we need to do is become more accepting not totally but more than we are now to induce the feeling of love through acceptance & become less conflictive.

The biggest thing to watch out for with feeling this love through acceptance is the ego & the bigger the ego gets the more conflictive one becomes. The ego can inflate with the emotion love & the more we feel this emotional love the more emotional we are & the bigger the chance of an inflated ego. This is one of the biggest pitfalls one can come across & is fed by the ego so one needs to always be aware of this.

The best way to avoid this dilemma is through being aware of the egotistical problems & the best way to avoid egotism is when you feel this love through acceptance always feel that you want to give this love freely to whoever no matter who they are, this is what true acceptance is all about.
