The Reality of Love and Honour

 

 

How many times have your people mis-used these words

Love and Honour?

 

What do they truly mean?

 

Your book of word explanations (dictionary) has many meanings, but where did they come from?

 

The meanings were brought about and developed through the heart, emotions and senses. Within each and every human being is the capacity for love or hate.

 

Why is this so?

 

Because it is the ‘Law of Being’ Yin and Yang we have spoken of many times, good and bad, right and wrong, negative and positive. Within your being all things exist. Without you knowing both sides of yourself (your shadow is as real as you are) the good and the not so good, what would there be for you to learn or to overcome?

 

If you are good it is because you choose to be and the same reasoning applies if you are not. The Choice is yours. You have been given choice; the most important gift ever given to a race of beings, for it allows you to direct your own life, a life full of love, hope, happiness and without fear. You are all individuals and unique, yet all the same.

 

Let us begin with The Ultimate Reality, which is Love.

 

The understanding of the Ultimate Reality comes about when you have accepted the premise, that all and everything that is worth having and living by is Love.

 

Love is the supreme Joy.  It is a feeling, an emotion, a gift to everyone from Spirit, because this is Life. Love really can move mountains or take you to the heights of ecstasy, give you peace, hope, and fulfillment and yes, it can also give sadness, despair and pain and yet even with sadness, despair and pain is Love still not present?

 

All can see the gentleness, of your heart and soul, when it is held within through Love.

 

Love is the act of loving others as much, if not more, than yourself. I can hear you saying, “How can I love everyone”? And I say to you “It is possible if you truly desire it”. It is your choice whether to love or dislike, I will not say hate for this emotion is abhorrent to Spirit. Spirit is Love but even love has its shadow.

 

When one claims to love someone or something but control and possessiveness takes over, it is then that love is out of control and can become soul destroying.

 

Love has many forms. It can be gentle, passionate, friendly, open, shared, given and accepted or refused.

 

Open your hearts to the love you all have within. Allow yourselves the joy of giving and receiving love and even if you can only do this for one hour a day, or one week at a time, you shall see and feel the true beauty of your soul. Accept my love for mankind and share in its beauty.

 

We now come to what is Honour?

 

Mortals protect their honour in some very strange ways, such as killing each other, as in duels etc. In your Bible one of the Commandments is to Honour thy Father and thy Mother.

 

Does this mean the Oneness and the Goddess, God and Earth or the Human Host with whom you live? An interesting question is it not?

 

Honour is being truthful, doing what is right and knowing within yourself that you live your life in a way, which can be seen as fair to all.

 

To accept your responsibilities and to fulfill them as best you can.

It is knowing yourself with honesty. Pride has, or should have, no place in attaining or retaining Honour, for Pride comes before a Fall.

 

A mortal’s idea of honour may create great deeds that allow men, women and even children to shine with love and happiness at achievements accomplished. For this is at it should be.

 

Alas, many times this can become destructive because achievement is like the Sword of Damocles, two edged.

 

Honour, when held within through love and the feeling of humility, becomes beautiful. But when Pride and the attitude of ‘I am the greatest’ takes over one is already on the road to unhappiness.

 

By all means, believe in yourself and your achievements in life but separate honour from pride, for that fall may be much closer than you might think.

 

Honour is something you have within you, it is yours, you do not have to prove it or show this to anyone else for when you know you have honour within then so shall all be able to see, for your light shall be that much brighter and your life much happier. I speak to you as the Oneness of Spirit.
