Thought Adjuster: “For the most part, your likes and dislikes dictate the [[decisions]] you make—what you [[perceive]] as gratifying versus what is placing you in a state of emotional [[resistance]].
Whenever you pick from a restaurant’s menu, you are drawn to the dishes whose description and [[attractive]] presentation make you drool in [[anticipation]].
The same applies to [[relationships]]—some are appealing, while others are repulsive to you. You naturally wish to spend time with [[individuals]] with whom you have [[spontaneous]] affinities.
Your tastes and [[passions]] are your primal [[motivation]]al agents. However, things are far more [[complex]], as life calls you to make difficult [[choices]] driven by [[reason]], not by impulsions. It is where the element of [[wisdom]] comes in, leading you to ponder: “Which way has a brighter [[future]]?”
It is undoubtedly the one that promotes unconditional [[love]]. Love is the ultimate [[satisfaction]] of your [[soul]], as it goes with its grain. It has a divinely sublime [[quality]].
Due to its limited emotional capacity, the [[human]] species only gets to sample it—always longing for more, as you have been conceived with love, by love, and for love.
[[Jesus]] exuded a love tinged with the prerequisites of [[empathy]] and [[compassion]]. “Relate yourself to every man as if you were in his place.” ([[131:8|UB 131:8.4]]) Such an approach is a win-win situation. It unleashes the synergy of love-in-[[action]] and its far-reaching ripple effect. The magical [[touch]] of love enlivens [[your soul]], uplifting it instantly, and, because love cannot be self-contained, your first impulse is to [[reciprocate]] in kind.
[[The Father]] is love, and nothing you do or don’t do will rescind the love he feels toward you. Why then should you [[fear]] never-to-eventuate divine wrath? [[Patience]] and [[mercy]] are two more reassuring attributes that vouch for the safety of love.
Emulate these various facets of genuine love. They will shape you in [[godlikeness]] while fulfilling your innermost [[calling]].
[[Paradoxically]], to get there, you have to use your dislikes as the ‘middle man.’ What triggers them? Are they rational or fear-driven? How can you get to love the hard-to-love? Only by getting to know them better, thus developing a genuine [[appreciation]] for the light flickering under a bushel—the gold nuggets of their [[persona]] that lay buried under their rough exterior. Your genuine interest in them will act as a primer, setting their [[soul]] afire.”
