I made the decision to have my 2 and 3 year old sons baptized at the church where I was christened as a baby.  We had the opportunity to celebrate their baptism this past Sunday on a week-long visit to my hometown.  Since we do not have a church of our own, my husband and I were grateful for the support of my mother’s Lutheran church community. 

When my father asked me why I chose to baptize my children, I began to articulate my individual beliefs.  I do not belong to a church and my spiritual practices are in no way institutionalized.  This is true for the majority of Americans and applies particularly to my generation.  Nonetheless, most parents I know have held some sort of religious ceremony for their infants or young children.  In March, I attended a bris for the first time.  My twin nephews were recently baptized.  Following these events, I thought more seriously about planning a baptism for my own sons. 

My father is adamantly opposed to organized religion.  I have many friends and acquaintances who agree with him.  Religion can be divisive and exclusionary.  Fundamentalist religious practices have caused great harm to humanity by spreading fear, hatred and violence.  Christianity in particular is associated with intolerance, war and genocide.  My Dad wanted to know how it was possible for me to baptize my children into a church that continues to ostracize homosexuals and includes teachings about Hell in its liturgy.  Since I had already given it some thought, my answers to his questions came easily. 

Institutions are created by and for humans.  Human behavior does not follow simple patterns.  No person is all good or all bad.  Pitting good vs. evil is convenient, but simplistic.  I find it impossible to separate institutions from the people that created them.  I have yet to see one political, religious or social movement that does no harm.  I made a common argument to my father; Christian institutions have acted both beneficially and destructively over history.  He replied that I might say the same thing about the Nazis.  For obvious reasons, I disagree.  I continue to believe that our relationships with institutions are much like our relationships with individuals: we take what good we can from them, attempt to exist peacefully with them and support or oppose them according to our conscience.  One iron-clad approach does not fit all.  I do not fully condone or contest any person or any group. 

I do not oppose any religion.  I understand the energy of opposition.  Formerly I worked in the law and will likely re-enter the practice in the future.  I know how to entrench myself in a cause.  Lawyers argue one side of an issue irrespective of their personal beliefs.  In litigation and transactional practice, the law requires adherence to one side.  Many people who are not lawyers live life in that way, supporting Y and opposing X, an approach that I find myopic.  Resistance requires force and the outcome often disappoints.  Hence, I try to spend less time resisting and more time cooperating. 

Religious rites are acts of tribal affiliation.  This is particularly evident in marriage and baptism rituals.  Humans find comfort in belonging.  We commemorate our belonging to a larger group through adherence to cultural rites.  Our spiritual inclinations are organized into religious systems.  When we affiliate with a religion, we affirm our belonging to a tribe.  Christianity historically united a large number of tribes under one banner.  Human tribes go to war with one another; they also create favorable alliances.  If we evolve in another direction and tribal loyalties become obsolete, religion may one day disappear.  The importance of religion in modern Western society is diminishing, but in many parts of the world religion continues to dominate thought and behavior.  Even in our part of the world, most every person interacts with a religious institution on some level.  It takes effort to avoid all weddings, funerals, and any other events with a presiding religious official.  Religion has an impact on our lives, irrespective of what we believe. 

Choosing to baptize a child is a clear and direct action in support of Christianity.  When I chose to have my sons baptized in the same church and by the pastor who baptized me, I affirmed my ancestry.  I affirmed my cultural heritage.  I affirmed a church community.  I also affirmed a part of who I am and what I believe.  While I do not endorse every belief and practice of the Lutheran church, I cannot dismiss it as the initial source of my religious education.  I am very grateful for the education I received and for the love and support that was shown to me as a child in the church where I was confirmed and had my first communion.  I will not dismiss the value of affiliation in the nurturance of a child.  It is important to belong; this is an undeniable human need.  Religious rituals for children are intended to be sweet and memorable occasions, and for our family, this intent was preserved. 

In preparation for my sons’ baptism, I promised the two presiding pastors that I would educate my sons in the Christian tradition.  Indeed, I intend for my children to learn about the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.  In addition to the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, I intend for them to study the texts of all spiritual traditions.  As they get older, I would like to be able to talk about the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran, the Tao Teh Ching, the Yoga Sutras, the Vedas, the Upanishads and any other texts that we can discover together.  I will teach them not to hate, exclude or discriminate.  I will attempt to raise them in an open and affirming tradition.  As a family, we will honor the divine within ourselves through respecting these outward expressions of divinity.  At the same time, my sons will benefit from the context of a particular familial and cultural tradition.

A friend of mine was telling me about the wedding of his son and new daughter-in-law this weekend. He had several good observations. One was the joy and pride of seeing his son grown into a mature young man making a commitment to a lovely young woman. He talked about the joy of being a father and how important it has been just to be a loving presence in his son’s life. Several of his son’s friends seemed to be missing that from their own fathers and often sought to engage with him for some sort of recognition. My friend also shared how great it was to welcome a daughter into their family, noting they only had two sons. He said his wife gave a moving toast as she said this young woman had not become their daughter-in-law but their daughter-in-love.

My friend’s story resonated with my own experiences of being the father of two girls who have grown into lovely and strong women. For me and my wife, being a loving and consistent presence in their lives has been wonderful for us and provided fertile soil for them to grow in. They have both found strong and loving men to marry and are now starting their own families. It is very satisfying to witness and be a part of. We have now entered the delightful stage of being grandparents. Our first granddaughter is now 19 months old and this weekend our younger daughter gave birth to her first child and our second granddaughter. It is wonderful.

There is nothing better than indulging deeply in the fruits of love. My friend and his wife and I and my wife have been blessed no doubt, but we are not special people with unusual gifts or talents. The fruits of love are the result of planting the seeds of love early and often and then cultivating and nurturing those seeds into maturity. It is simply engaging in the practices of love on a consistent basis over time that yields results. Of course some have more difficult circumstances than others, but you can always choose love and choose to be present in the lives of those you love. I encourage you to be in it for the long term. The fruits are delicious.

Why won’t you meet my needs? A client recalled this lament from his wife, which in essence was the accusation: “you have the ability to meet my needs, you’re not doing it, and furthermore you’re not doing it on purpose”. Upon further exploration it became clear that in spite of this man’s efforts to meet his wife’s needs he could not satisfy her demands. She had taken on the role of victim and projected blame onto him. He, in turn, felt helpless and stuck and projected blame back onto her for being impossible to please.

This situation illustrates a common struggle in marriage relationships. The real problem is a misguided assumption that one’s spouse is responsible for and capable of meeting our core needs and fulfilling us. That is not possible any more than any other external source can validate us, fulfill us, and make us whole. Wholeness is a journey that happens from the inside out and is both an emotional and spiritual process. We must own that responsibility for ourselves and open ourselves to love from within, from our spiritual source. Then we can effectively give and receive love in our external relationships.

This client came to see that once he got clear about the issue of responsibility there were several commitments he was able to make to his wife. These are commitments to support her in her journey towards finding wholeness at her own pace, to be engaged and present in the relationship, to create a loving space for her to learn, and to not blame his wife for what she needs. Paradoxically letting go of the expectation of meeting another’s needs allows us to be instrumental in helping our partner get those needs satisfied. This may not result in what you hope for from your partner but it is worth doing anyway because in the process of keeping these commitments you will be stretched and increase your capacity to be a loving human being.

In Part 1 we heard how Neabei first decided to incorporate the Love Foundation Liberia, what challenges they faced and the response from the community. Let’s hear in Neabei’s own words about his vision for the future, immediate plans, long term plans and what he’s most proud of in this endeavor:

THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE WITH TLF-LIBERIA

The overall vision of TLF-Liberia is to assist people to build a practical foundation and understanding of unconditional love within individuals and the Liberian society as a whole.

It is an organization focusing on training the minds to change the attitudes of negative perceptions by individuals thus providing a most desirable alternative solution to economic problem of absolute poverty, political instability, social and religious differences which continue to impede/retard the progress of unity, lasting peace and development in Liberia. It includes unconditional love education through seminars and workshops, the media(radio, television, print, ICTs) billboards, flyers, posters, etc. at community levels in various vernaculars of Liberia. Different forms of educational programs cover day-care centers, primary and secondary levels, the universities and colleges, communities and with the social and religious institutions collectively. To stimulate social harmony, programs such as cultural dances, sports, film productions, creative writings, music, traditional arts, poetry, arts and crafts, shall be highlighted among others. By the messages of love sent forth through various means, inter-personal, tribal and religious controversies shall not easily escalate into chaotic situations, but shall be managed easier from the concept  of unconditional love which transcends human limitations.

Considering the preponderance of sports in promoting social harmony, police stations in areas where our presence shall be felt will no longer be crowded as before with cases involving issues of fighting and many forms of inter-personal misunderstanding. By your involvement in other ways, Liberians will be exposed to the bedrock foundation of unity, lasting peace and development haven been assisted to rise above their limitation and begin to share love unconditionally.

The doctrine fostering the respect for human rights/dignity in Liberia will be given an underpinning gravity as individuals begin to conceptualize unconditional love as a basis for every thought, feeling and action, is a prudent means through which any developing country can attain progress.

In Liberia, most people would prefer to associate with others who can offer what they desire in terms of economic potential or people would come down to earth purposely to achieve political goals, otherwise, people choose to associate on tribal  and religious sentiments. TLF-Liberia is intended to enhance the promotion of unity and lasting peace by inspiring and motivating people to love unconditionally through the exploration of various activities that foster love.

THE IMMEDIATE PLANS FOR THE LOVE FOUNDATION-LIBERIA

The Love Foundation-Liberia recognizing love as the perfect bound of unity and hope, transcends the limitation of religious, gender, and creed, reaching out to all without precondition with the aim that through our activities:

  • The weak finds strength
  • The confused finds strength
  • The intelligent grows wiser
  • The divided becomes re-united
  • Our nation is moved forward

Our immediate plans is to raise friendly supports to give us some credence and sense of purpose enabling us to organize ourselves through short-term training workshops and to rent a little place where we can be located. We strive to design multiple motivational programs that inspire unconditional love  education through the arts that teach morals. It is our desire to as well liaise with humanitarian organizations and individuals locally and internationally for support in cash and kind to carry out charitable and research projects in Monrovia and its environs. All of our activities for now will be focused in Monrovia as a starting point.

OUR LONG TERM PLANS

By the year 2012, TLF-Liberia whishes to begin decentralizing all aspects of here activities thereby having her influence felt in all of the fifteen counties of Liberia.

As a reliable means of fiscal support, TLF-Liberia whishes to undertake agricultural projects in any of the counties which is a prudent means of keeping the organization potent in terms of financial self reliance.

By 2015, TLF-Liberia wishes to begin with programs/projects envisioning the promotion of unconditional love which will involve the active participations of citizens especially youth of neighboring countries bordering Liberia and the sub-region of West Africa.

WHAT I AM MOST PROUD OF IN THIS ENTITY I AM CREATING

To be proud is to have positive accomplishment(s). There are nothing more successful and cheerful than dwelling together in unity as TLF-Liberia is becoming daily. In as much as there is nothing that The Love Foundation-Liberia has to offer it members in terms of allowances, everyone is always happy to contribute towards every aspect  of our undertaking. Some would go to an extend of crediting money from people only to keep TLF-Liberia alive.

I also feel proud that even the kids are willing and happy to be with us whenever we need them.

Except for the hard costs of living in Liberia where about 80% pf the total population is living on less than $1.00 per day, all is well with us and continue to be better.

I am greatly proud of Loveolution that is making remarkable impact on TLF-Liberia through the website, also the co-founders of Loveolution: Aaron and Justin, who are key motivational force behind all that we are doing and continue to achieve in Liberia.

I am very inspired by Neabei and his country men and womens’ efforts.  It is truly amazing to see such Love coming from a place which historically has dealt with so many chaotic challenges.  We are proud to support Neabei’s Global Vision of Love In Liberia!

Thanks for reading!

Much Love,

~Aaron




Let’s begin with you, shall we? Do you realize it is as easy to influence what you like, as it is to influence what you dislike? Look around. What you have or what you perceive missing in your life, reflect your beliefs, many of them hidden from your conscious awareness.

When you are un-aware of beliefs that delay your potential, you are asleep in a dream about what you are not; you are a passenger in the car of life.  As this Shift of the Ages advances, to influence Authentic SOULutions and least stress, awaken and move into the driver’s seat.

Inauthentic systems that serve few at the expense of many are rising to the surface for our awareness, [money, environment, health], to purify. Infinite Light, described scientifically as Fundamental Electromagnetic Quantum Energy and spiritually as unconditional or Authentic Love, Spirit, God, Consciousness, Source, Allah or other Name, responds to thought. When you change the way you look at things for the better, you liberate the things you look at to change for the better.

Fear delays human potential. This World Age Shift calls everyONE to expand self awareness, compassion, unity, cooperation and Authentic Love, so fear can retire; the same way darkness retires in a room when you turn on Light.

Divisiveness is the root cause of all discord, instability, scarcity, powerlessness, war and fear, which escalate until you, me, we have a change of heart. When you move into the driver’s seat, life happens BY you instead of to you. With expanded awareness, BodyMindSoul is naturally equipped to pass through this Shift with least stress. Earth, as She purifies and labours to birth a New World Age, needs our focused love and attention.

Please visit Events at http://freetobewealthy.net to expand awareness, unity consciousness and align on purpose. View ‘The One Song Project’ taking place today.

Secondly, I ask that you watch without judgment, videos about how money is created from debt. Choose to expand awareness and understand the need for a new FairCareShare money system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8 Also visit http://victoryfortheworld.net and share the links with 5 people, asking them to share with 5 people, to expand unity consciousness, influence a new money system, liberate humanity, peace and a new conscious world. Thank you!

The ways in which people are dating and relating are changing.  No surprise right?  You are all being called to keep it “real” and stop wearing those masks you wear to disguise yourself from your partners, friends, co-workers and family!  You know which ones I’m referring to here – the “I am such a perfect person” mask, or the “I’m the bad boy or girl you desire” mask, or the “I am this or have that” mask because “I don’t want you to see my pain or be vulnerable with anyone including myself” mask. You have probably been feeling the difference in your own relationships for some time now.   As you all are being called to live more in spirit and attract people from your souls, your current relationships including what you desire from these relationships and any new ones are transforming.

Do you understand why you have attracted certain people to you?  The Law of Attraction states – like attracts like.  People are your mirrors to who you are and always will be.  You can only attract what you think and feel about yourself.  The only difference is that now you are no longer being satiated with the idea of having someone in your lives to complete you.  You want something more because you know deep down inside that you are already complete and whole.  This is your soul calling you.  You have out lived the so-called my other or better “half” theory.

Your heart’s longing for each and all of your relationships are more about true heart and soul connections.  You want to connect in a way with people that allows you to be who you really are and vice versa.  Your hearts long to see and really be seen for your truth.  For some time, you unconsciously related focusing more on an ego connection – attracting people from your pain body instead of your soul.  In other words, what dominated your beliefs and thoughts about attracting a partner was – does he/she have:

1)    Money, car, house, other material items (in order to take care of me)
2)    A great body and looks (so I will look good to others)
3)    What it takes to make me feel safe (will he/she protect me from my enemies)
4)    Power or fame (to help me achieve some type social status),
5)    Time to devote entirely to my life and needs (to make me feel important since I don’t believe it), etc.

This list can go on and on.  However, when you attract from your ego or pain body, you are seeking for the other person to fill you in some way. You want the other person to make you feel better about yourself.  You want the other person to take care of you in the ways in which your parents didn’t or couldn’t take care of you.  You want your partners to take all of your pain away and take care of you, and all of your needs.  And what you have learned is that you feel unsatisfied, disappointed and downright angry at the discovery that your partners can’t take your pain away or care for you the way you want them to.  You may have also found that what you were attracted to and desired in a partner in the past just isn’t cutting it anymore.

But this is not meant to judge you in anyway.  There was a purpose for these relationships and still is if you are currently in an ego connected relationship.  While you attracted from your pain body, your soul was ever present even though you may have been unconscious to it.  Your soul and your spirit guides were allowing the space in order for you to see for yourself what you were doing to you.  This was done in an attempt for you to learn about yourself and how you have been covered with layers of dirt.  This is dirt that can be cleaned away.

Even though you may have partnered with someone through your ego this is not to say that you cannot have a deep connection with this person.  Yes absolutely you can and part of this deep connection is your souls’ contract to help the both of you to come to a place where you are growing, healing and learning to live out your soul’s truth.  In fact, the majority of time you partnered with someone through your pain body in an attempt to see it and heal it. You were attracting your past programmed beliefs and experiences.

For example – if you partnered with someone who is selfish, this has shown up for the two of you to heal and grow.  If the two of you are willing to give each other the space to heal and grow you will see the lessons your spirits are trying to teach you about selfishness.  There are two sides to this shadow.  It can show up within you as exactly as being selfish or a martyr.  In other words, are you in anyway a selfish person? Someone who only thinks about him self and the world only revolves around you?  Or are you the other side of this shadow, the martyr who is constantly putting others before you and your needs?  Both sides of this shadow are just two extremes of the same issue – lack of balance in a relationship.  And in either case, you were attracting a “selfish” person because you were vibrating on this frequency yourself and it needs to be seen and healed.  The place of balance in this example is where both people’s thoughts and feelings are equally important.  This is the space where you learn to value yourself (if you exhibit martyr tendencies) or you learn to value the other person (if you exhibit selfish tendencies).

Spirit will use each and every single relationship to help you to discover your soul’s truth even if this relationship was attracted from the pain body.  And it could be part of both of your truths to help each other reach your soul’s destiny.  However, most of the time you are clouded by your or the other person’s egos agendas and completely disconnect from your soul’s journey.   Some get stuck here in the place where you don’t want to change you – you are just so focused on the other person changing.  But the truth is, as you already know, you can’t make anyone change.  You have the power to only change yourself.

But you all fear change.  Why?  Because you love to be comfortable even though your current comfortable is completely uncomfortable.   You don’t want to take responsibility for yourself because it is so much easier to blame the other person for your uncomfortable-ness.  Your egos want you to believe that it is the other person’s responsibility to change because it takes effort to be different and to live a different lifestyle – one that is lead by the soul.  Being in a space of transformation is also the place of the unknown and you fear the unknown because your egos believe that this is a place of pain.

Some people’s egos will go so far as to say – “I already know this place where I am and I don’t know the other place so why change?” Or even “it can’t get any worse than this so I am not going to change.”  Well yes it can become worse when you are ignoring your soul’s truth.  It will become so uncomfortable for you it will be hard for you to continue to ignore your soul.  There is also a belief that what your soul wants is for you to be in pain, poor, over worked, etc.  Or that in order for you to connect more deeply to your souls’ you must suffer and go through more intense pain.  Pain and suffering are present when you are in resistance to your experience and not allowing yourself to fully appreciate the learning and growth your soul is connecting with.  The pain and fear comes when you are resisting your soul’s truth.   And to live your soul’s truth you must be willing to lead by your soul and not your egos and this requires change.

For too long, it has been believed that to be in spirit or be spiritual means to be in a space of lack.  If this is a practice used to help you to connect closer to your soul instead of connecting to your ego then it is appreciated.  However, if this belief is used by your ego to judge you and keep you from fulfilling a life of abundance then there is some exploring you need to do within yourself.  You need to explore your beliefs, thoughts and feelings towards being a creator.  Because if you believe that someone else is responsible for your happiness, that someone else is the creator of your life and your destiny then you are believing that what ever good or bad comes your way is all because of someone else and you are just a puppet of their show.  If this is what you choose to believe then it is your choice to live your life in this way and in deed whether you believe it or not you have created your life the way you believe it to be.

The truth is all your soul really wants is to love, to be abundant, to feel true peace, etc. and to filter your lives through your hearts.  Your soul’s desire for you is to feel safe, secure, loved and whole.  Your soul uses all experiences to grow regardless if they are painful or joyful.  It doesn’t seek out pain.  Once you step up into your spiritual core all of your soul needs will come first.  Your soul will not allow something to happen to you if it isn’t meant to happen or if it will not connect you more deeply to yourself.  So there is no need to fear what your soul desires especially if it is about changing your current circumstance to align you more deeply to your true essence.  Changing yourself is about listening and trusting your intuition and living out your soul’s truth.   You are here to learn how to love, to open your heart and connect in a true intimate way.

Are you a spiritual gangster?  Do you want to connect with your soul and that of another in a real way? The new template for relating is based on this basic notion – you CHOOSE the people you want to love.  Yes you read it correctly – it is your choice.  For some time there was a belief floating around that you don’t get to choose whom you love.  Well this belief came from a pain body, yes someone’s shadow side.  It is a belief based on the notion that you are not the masters of your lives and all of what you experience is because of someone else.  Someone else is in the driver seat.  Someone else creates your happiness and pain.  In this belief – you are literally giving your power away.  While you may have certain soul contracts with people, this does not mean that you cannot change it by choosing to experience something different.  This is your life your journey and you have the power to change what you are experiencing at any given moment just by changing your beliefs and thoughts.

It is your choice to break free from the beliefs that chain you to feeling powerless.  You can choose someone to love from your soul.  What is your destiny?  Your destiny is to discover the divine in someone else and for the other person to discover the divine within you.  And it is your choice to live out this destiny or to go down a path of limitlessness.  You have a purpose in your life.  This purpose is to discover how you want to connect with people, which really is, how do you want to connect with yourself.  Do you want to see and be seen for who you really are?  Do you want to see the other person for who they really are?  The first step is to become conscious of how you want to love and be loved.  Every relationship you are in is part of your evolution.  As the relationship changes, you shift and evolve into who you are – if you are choosing to see the truth and realness of you.

Relationships aren’t here to make you happy.  Yes happiness is part of it but the partnership is not exclusively to make you happy.  Relationships are here to help you to grow and teach you how to love.  It will teach you about true intimacy and vulnerability if it is your Choice to experience it.  In a true intimacy relationship model, your soul will lead you to be in relationship where you are looking at your pain or shadow but from a space of healing and growth.  In this type of relationship, your partner expands you into the real expression of yourself and that is love.  In a true intimacy relationship model, your partner shows you how to love unconditionally.  This is someone who sees your pain body for what it is and doesn’t run away.  This person gives you the opportunity to see this within yourself and heal it and you give your partner the very same gift.  You don’t have to like the other person’s shadow and they don’t have to like yours but you give each other the space for healing and growth.

The person who can see you at your worst and still love you is a keeper.  This is not say you should stay with someone who is abusing you.  This is not acceptable and a deal breaker.  A deal breaker is when you and/or your values are violated.  The divine doesn’t promote the notion of you being violated in any way. In this circumstance, you are each vibrating on a different frequency and are unable to reach a place of seeing each other eye to eye.  This is a space where there is no balance or compromise in the ways you agree to disagree, or you completely disagree in the ways you choose to relate to one another.

A true intimacy relationship model means that if you get cranky, scared or even jealous sometimes, etc. your partner is there to unconditionally love you. Unconditional love is the capacity to stay and be in the relationship when you see someone’s shadow come out.  You hold the space to say this is coming from your fear and I’m going to hold you accountable to healing and learning from this.  They love you and don’t abandon you.  You allow the space for your partner to have bad and good days.  You also hold yourself accountable to healing and learning from this too.  Because relationships are mirrors you have some part of the person’s shadow but it is up to you to discover your soul’s lesson.  It might not be clear at first but if you are conscious to the fact that all relationships are mirrors and here to teach you something about you then you will discover the lesson hidden behind the other person’s shadow.

In this soul relationship, you hold the space for shifts within each of you and above all else you hold the space of compassion.  This is true intimacy.  It is not the space where you say to yourself my partner is having a bad day and this is messing up my day so screw him/her.  A true soul relationship creates space for healing and growth where your partner empowers you to grow in a loving, caring and gentle way and vice versa.  The relationship allows you the opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself and when you can connect more intimately with yourself you can connect more intimately with others. This is the dance of a true soul relationship model.  Are you ready and willing to dance?  You are so loved so love yourself just as much!
