There is great strength in unfailing gentleness.
When we are living life from our place of center, trusting in source with no need to fear, then we will have the capacity to treat others with absolute gentleness.
The need to hurt another will always come from fear and separation.
We fear we are not enough, we fear failure, separation or being hurt. Our sense of separateness from love creates pain. I’ve heard Isira say any act of violation is a cry for love. Anything we do that is hurtful, even the smallest things, are really a cry for love.
We are all intimately connected as the one essence.
In truth we are one essence. Therefore when we are hurting another we are really hurting ourselves. Also, when we hurt another we are reinforcing to ourselves that our fears are warranted. That we are separate and alone and cannot trust the unconditional love of spirit. A Course in Miracles says when we give love we are reminding ourselves what we truly have. It’s a beautiful saying.
The one essence is unconditional love.
The one essence that we are is unconditional love. It is perfectly safe, absolutely gentle, completely invulnerable, permanent and unchanging. This is the truth of what we are. What is there to fear?
Centering in awareness creates gentleness
When we have the privilege of witnessing a being who is truly enlightened, what we see is absolute trust and absence of fear. We will also see great gentleness.
