Respect Pt. 2

The last piece I wrote was about respect, though it was mostly about what respect is not. I'd like to focus more on what respect is in this piece.

Real respect is sharing Love and Truth freely with everything. It's treating each Human Being like the Divine Being they are. When another speaks to you, do you really listen to what they have to say? Do you treat what they are saying like it's God speaking to you? That's true respect, it's treating all beings equally. It's giving the same Love to each being regardless of their position in the illusionary world. Do you treat the dirty rugged homeless man begging for your change with the same respect as a lovely member of the opposite sex? If you don't, there's some things about respect you still don't understand.

And respect doesn't just stop at your fellow human beings. Real respect is Love for Everything in Creation. Hugged a tree lately? Do you say hello in the morning to the birds as well as your fellow humans? Do the stones, the grass, the dirt, receive you Love as well? Or are they mostly just ignored? The deepest respect possible is Love Unconditional, and does that Love see anybody or anything as less deserving than anything else?

There's another respect that people seem to forget about, and that's self respect. Do you see yourself as Equal to everyone? Do you see yourself as deserving of Love as Everyone Is, as God Is? Do you cling to guilt and fear, that's where disrespect of self lies (in both senses of the word lie). Do you lie to yourself? Do you ignore any part of yourself? Are there any parts of yourself you don't Love? If there are, you don't respect yourself fully. Unconditional Acceptance of the All of Who You Are is Unconditional Love, Unconditional Respect, of Self. Once you find this within, then and only then can you have true respect for everything else. If you can't find respect within, you don't have any real respect to share with others.

Love,
Will, Mother & Father God

A very interesting piece Will, thank you.
Sorry paTricia, but I must take issue with your comments about Attila the Hun. Yes tyrants often seem like fascinating people but that is only because their lives are recorded by historians. Attila was of the Hunnish royal bloodline and murdered his father and brother to be proclaimed king. The only thing he created in Italy (and throughout the Empire) was carnage, fear and destruction. The cult of Venus was established a good 800 years before his birth. He was not an 'exchange student', he was a hostage of the Emperor for a short time in his childhood before he ran away back to Scythia. Good discussion though.

I have respect for a tyrant as a person, even people like Hitler. Their brains have just been poisoned. Seeing it this way makes it easier to acknowledge the diseased thoughts within ourselves as well and get over them.

Strong heart + determination = unconditional love, maybe this is...lol

[Golden_Angel_K]

thanks again, but the thing it is very hard with others and easy with others ones...give me the formula to treat with those difficult ones...lol

I think those different feelings are the unique aspects of other people being integrated into your own Being. It's an expression of Oneness and all the more reason to respect everyone.

Good post will..Thanks, but i may wonder...if we should respect everything in creation, then why different kind of people (others me), makes me feel differently, i mean make me "feel" within me differently with different external responses,

The equality love for all things, you have to be a strong heart person to maintain the balance within yourself.
