Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Unconditional Love.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Unconditional love will manifest as selfless service. When you truly love somebody, you are capable of doing something good for that person. In your experience this is not considered to be your duty or something you need to do to be ‘good.’ It is just something that comes from the heart. Don’t you naturally feel the desire to feed a hungry child? Don’t you feel the impulse to offer some words of comfort to someone who feels discouraged and hopeless?
“In reality, all human beings feel these impulses but because they have learned to suppress them, some no longer act on them. Human nature is loving and generous, but the culture and the experiences of this world teach one to contain one’s love. When you are urged to love each other you are not being asked to change your nature, you are being asked to simply be as you were created to be.
“The issue is not that people don’t love their peers. The issue is that you have learned to suppress this love that spontaneously arises in you. Look at the little ones, how easy they make friends, how they reach out to other children and play as if they have known each other all their lives. When does this tendency to be more open and trusting start to disappear? This happens due to the continuous bombardment of messages promoting fear and mistrust: ‘don’t talk to strangers,’ ‘avoid bad company,’ ‘what would they think of you?’
“This world would do much better if adults forget their prejudices and fears to start trusting again like children at the time of their relating to their peers. Mistrust is the main obstacle that prevents mortals from knowing others better and sharing their viewpoints while accepting their differences. In the end, we are all siblings, children of the same God-Father and part of the same universal family, trying together to find our place in creation.”
