Being Humans Together

About Being Humans Together

Videos, podcast, and community-- To see who we truly are, and to become more ourselves: more aware empowered agents, being humans together; To fulfill the profound desire for connection and intimacy: the need to know others and be known, loved, and needed in return; To cultivate more meaningful relationships and bonds; To escape loneliness, isolation, and individualism; To develop your hierarchy of values and priorities, and embody it in the world; To revitalize and build communities that embody our highest ideals and wisdom across generations; To advocate for the beauty of humanity and life in the face of anti-humanism; To overcome being institutionalized by the state and corporations; To turn from the never-ending emptiness of the pursuit of success, wealth, status, and power by knowing what enough is; To develop meaning and purpose by acting intentionally in the present. Amen. Amen. This is the way of being humans together.

   25 The Transformational Love of God

   God knows you fully, and God loves you completely. Consider what it would be like to be in the presence of God. You would feel known, understood and seen. You’d feel loved. You would have a profound desire to be with Him. God’s love for you is not simply acceptance. It is love for you as you are, but also as you may be, hopefully as you are going to become through the experiences and growth that you will have through life. Some, perhaps even much of that growth will be the result of hard work, discomfort, and even pain and suffering. Take a moment to consider this. You ARE in the presence of God. How can we know God and embody God? Seek out the wisest, kindest, most joyful people and communities you can. Learn from them. Follow them. Then seek to embody your highest goals and mission in the world, now, today. Love God with all of our heart, mind, and strength. Love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Love one another as God loves us. The true mystery that each of us must comprehend and act on now is to understand how to apply or embody or act out the love of God and love for God in our lives today. There isn’t just one way to do that. There are so many many ways to grow, to increase in knowledge, goodness, kindness, strength, and love. What do you feel you are called to be and do? What is your journey? And do you have a sense of where it ultimately leads? Mother Theresa of Kolkata provides us a powerful example of pursuing her divine mission, in the face of significant opposition. But also how she struggled with her own emotional and spiritual challenges of feeling profound darkness and separation from God. We must each seek to know God and know God’s will for us. The most efficient way to do this is to learn from other good, wise, dedicated people, communities, churches, and institutions. But along the way we must seek our own personal paths and callings, and then work, strive and struggle to embody God’s knowledge, wisdom, love, and mission with our bodies in our daily lives. As we do so, we hopefully draw close to God and experience joyful blessings. But we will also experience doubts, challenges, fears, trials, sorrows, and losses. Through it all the best we can do is to consistently try to perfect our aim at our highest ideals and goals, to try to work God’s will in our lives, bless the people we love, and expand the circles of people we bless and love.
