An Inner Decision 

Which is why letting go is important

You are very welcome!

O'clock, O'Donnell, and O'Lord were in a boat. O'clock & O'Donnell fell out. Who was left?

Dark night of the soul processes can be gruesome and long standing and only humans high up on the scale encounters those.

​​@@M-i-k-a-e-l but how one ever be loving, without having love within. And when there is love within, how can there ever be unhappiness? How can there be unhappiness when one is fully loving and accepting of oneself? Seems the Dr uses a different definition of happiness?

@@counterintuitivepanda4555of course. Happiness is a passing state. What i believe you’re referencing would be equivalent to his definition of joy

Everything including state is energy which means it oscillates…you’re going to dip below “happiness” at some point unless you’re completely enlightened

​@@counterintuitivepanda4555 Even people at lower levels of consciousness still experience love it's just not their predominant state of being. The lower levels are their current dominant state of being when they're considered to be at one of those lower levels.

There seems to be a place for everything. If you enter a restricted military zone and get shot, is your death the consequence of lack of love on the part of the soldiers? Of course not. You had no business to be there. Perhaps it could be said that you showed lack of love for the soldiers, forcing them to do something they'd rather not do. Insect doesn't belong in one's dwelling, unless one invites it. As the Doc said, it's not as much as the killing of the bug (or whatever).; life cannot be killed. It's more about your intention. If you kill a bug in your house because it doesn't belong there and is a pest, you can still be loving. If you kill a bug that is outside in its natural environment just because you don't like bugs, what message do you send to the universe about yourself?

i do swat flies inside my home but never feel completely comfortable about it. i comfort myself with what doc said about how tiny insects don't even notice they've been swatted and keep buzzing around in their subtle bodies. but different tradions and types of people deal with the issue differently. jains sweep the ground in front of them and wear a veil as a religious practice to avoid stepping or breathing in insects. followers of the german mystic & miracle healer bruno groening didn't want to kill the ants that invaded their house, so they put a picture of bruno where the ants were entering and asked him to help. the ants left. the british occultist aleister crowley found the method to make mosquitoes stop biting you is to love them, and i found this to be true. the buddha similarly taught that one of the 11 benefits of loving-kindness is that animal venom will not harm you.

This would be such good news. But then why do I have a boyfriend who loves all creatures, leaves even mosquitoes alone and yet they destroy him every summer? I think they are parasites... they only take without giving....​@@petya7105
