If We Believe...

 


If we believe that mind is continuous, our love for others becomes continuous. If we recognize this continuity, we don’t trust temporary, tangible circumstances, or take them too seriously. Since it is tiring to switch between changing uncertainties which are inherently impermanent and unimportant, we become less easily influenced by any circumstance. This creates the habit of stability so that our minds are less erratic, our lives are less chaotic, and our feelings for others are less changeable.

If we believe in the continuity of mind, then love inconspicuously connects us to the ones we love with continuous positive energy, so that even tangible separation between people who love each other do not reduce the intangible power of love. This love is automatically enduring since it is not easily affected by circumstances.

If we can keep from grasping at others with the selfish fear of losing them or in the hope of possessing them through the unawareness of our ordinary dualistic mind, then the energy of love increases and its quality of giving energy to others opens and expands.
