Religion as Self Fulfilling Prophecy

[otherbrother]

Right to the heart of my theme here. If we are open to the potential to love all (even as we fail to do so in actuality) then we may create a positive self-fulfilling prophecy of loving a whole lot more , if not ALL, people.

A useful neologism might be “IDEAism,” without the “L”. The idea attracts positive reality. Mind over matter.

Reminds me of the Zen koan

In Zen, one-handed clap is possible. I experienced something like that some two decades ago. I do not remember it now.

See some videos of Pakistani mawlanas and you will understand.

I thought you meant this for real so... I asked

ok

But without context I'm not sure what I'm looking at or what it will help me understand

I think a "love for all" is too much. If this love doesn't result in an adequate engagement, it is shallow. If you really take it serious, you will result in a burn-out. We are limited. It's better to concentrate on those who are near. We can try to be respectful and friendly to all, give support to organisations if we can afford it, but love needs to be selective to stay true.

The other thing is not to fall into hatred, or, if so, stand up and discard it. That's possible, insha'Allah, if we accept the Holy Spirit in us and let Her work, fulfilling itself in us and fulfilling ourselves in Her.

I have sometimes heard of the Holy Spirit being referred to as Her, in the more esoteric traditions.
