      Love has Power over Evil: Part 1

      1. Introduction

      So did you get to know each other a little? Awesome! I don't know what you feel when you meet each other, but sometimes I feel like, I'm sure I know this person. I'm sure I've had something to do with this person. And for most of us we certainly have had something to do with each other because of meeting in the sleep state at different times. So we're ready for our next subject?

      Well let's talk about this subject, Lessons in Love. This is a part of a series that I started when I was in Australia, talking about the different types of lessons in love. What we've already covered in Australia is lessons in love to do with loving yourself, and lessons in love to do with loving others. And today I'd like to cover this subject, Love has power over evil. And I've purposely used the term evil because I'd like to define it, if we can do that.

      But if you think about the contrast between what the world’s views about love and what the world’s views about evil, what would you come up with? So if we compare what the world’s views of love and what the world's views of evil, are in terms of their abilities to overcome the other, what are the basic beliefs you can see that the world has about love? Is love powerful enough to overcome evil? [00:03:59.07]

      No.

      2. The world’s view of love

      Most people on the world would say no. So what do they view love to be then? So love is sweet, insipid some would say, what else? Weak, vulnerable, caring, chancy, risky, shall I use the term risky? A fabrication of the mind! Many have a very strong condescension towards love. It's for suckers. So what would you say if we use a less colloquial term? For fools, love is for fools. So foolish, conditional, love is blind, yes, impractical. Love is power, but does the world view that? Because if love was power...

      Participant: The ego mind would say power was that you could force people to do things but love is the power to create.

      Yep, but do most people on the planet believe that? I would say most people on the planet don't believe that. Unreliable is what a lot of people believe. How many of you have had an unreliable love in your live?

      Participant: It's painful.

      Painful, yes!

      Participant: Sacrifice.

      Sacrifice, yes. Fleeting, yes. Hurtful, yes. (AJ sings Love Hurts) Irrational, very good. Overwhelming... do most people let themselves ever be overwhelmed by love? Instead what do they say? There are different things people say about not letting yourself be overwhelmed by love. If I just extend this idea a bit. How many of you allow yourselves to be overwhelmed by the love you feel? on a day-to-day basis. So that would tell me that there is a different viewpoint of love than it being overwhelming. So I do feel that for many of us, if we felt love fully we would be overwhelmed but most of us try to control that. We don't want to be overwhelmed. We want to be in control. So there's an issue there. [00:07:43.24]

      Participant: Distancing.

      Do most people feel that? I don't feel most people feel that. [00:07:53.02]

      Participant: Intercourse.

      So sex! Limited in lots of different ways, hey? Can you see we're starting to get a bit of a picture?

      Participant: Earned.

      Earned, yes. Okay. So that's our view of love. Let's just rub evil out. Now can you see there are a lot of pretty negative connotations in all of that, isn't there? If you look at it honestly, of what we view love to be, there are often some very negative connotations in what we view love to be. We don't see love as a powerful force, we see love as all of these weak things, which we see as foolish and painful and hurting. We've got all of these concepts about love that are really quite negative actually. Can you see? [00:09:08.14]

      So when I say love has power over evil, people go, What?! Evil has power over everything, is the viewpoint that most people have. And therefore they believe it also has power over love. So can we see that we don't actually have firstly a good concept of love, but secondly we don't have any concept of love's power inbuilt in us now, because of all of these experiences we've had and all of these experiences of life that have caused us to believe that love is something that's insipid and weak, we have this concept that love isn't something that is practical or reliable in day-to-day life. We believe this, in our soul we believe it. [00:10:06.15]

      In our mind we say to other people, Love is everything. In our soul we say, Love is these things. (AJ points to the descriptions on the whiteboard) Can you see? Now of course that covers a lot of emotional hurt, doesn't it? These statements that we're making about love that many people on the planet feel, demonstrate how hurt we are with love. How we have a very flawed concept of the whole idea of love. So bearing that in mind, that's our viewpoint of love. We don't see love as a powerful force in the universe.

      3. The world’s view of evil

      How do we see evil? [00:10:59.13]

      Participant: Powerful. Self-centredness. Selfishness.

      Right, so selfish.

      Participant: Scary.

      Scary.

      Participant: Cruel.

      Cruel.

      Participant: Powerful.

      Powerful.

      Participant: Manipulative.

      Manipulative, Controlling, Inevitable, Yes. Omnipotent.

      Participant: Eternal.

      Yep, it's going to be around forever.

      Participant: Enduring. Victorious.

      Yeah. We're often totally petrified of it, are we not? Yep. So we see it as threatening.

      Participant: Personified in some being.

      Right, so we relate things like the devil,
