My Beloved Alexis, on one occasion Che Guevara was asked about his motivation for being a Revolutionary and he answered, “It is love”. During the 2nd World War, a squad of German soldiers was ready to execute a specific number of people and a priest offered to sacrifice himself and change places with one of the men and saved his life; it was without a doubt an act of Pure Love. In a scene from the film Titanic, the young man barely knew the young woman when the ship began to sink, but he stayed in the freezing cold water taking care that the girl stayed safe by holding onto a log which eventually saved her life. Such was his level of commitment towards her, which clearly was another act of Pure Love.
In these modern times, when we have everything available to us to communicate effortlessly, that very same technology tends to isolate us, causing many to only interact with others in a very shallow and superficial way, making it necessary for one to experience a powerful act of consciousness and strong willpower to understand that we are actually all One. I’m not saying that we are living in luxury without complications; I just realize that we need to act responsibly with our brothers and sisters, our fellow humans, and in making that decision, with determination and discipline we can choose to make this planet a better place to live. Beginning first in our own home which is the sacred temple of our body, assuming that if we love and respect ourselves, we will then be able to truly love others and acquire that level of consciousness that all we are all One and that we are all here to fulfill a specific purpose and all along the way, know that we will transcend various levels and if we are not conscious of each step as it occurs we may not progress to the following stage of learning. Without more to share in this moment, know that we appreciate you Alexis and won’t ever forget you.
