Universal Love Church We are at a pivotal point in human history where we can choose to destroy ourselves or choose save ourselves. We are at what most believe to be the end of our world or human existence as we now know it. Where there is a beginning of something there must also be an ending of that something. We are now moving into Aquarian Age the Great Age of Peace, but before we can choose peace we must first establish love in our hearts and minds. Love is the key to Universal Peace. We need to learn what love is. Love, simply put, is having compassion for one another without discrimination, prejudice, or strings attached. We have served the war machine and it’s gods for far too long. Fear, greed, hate, negativity, and most of all religion are the fuels that feed the war machine. Religions and their war gods are responsible for more innocent casualties of war than any deaths occurred by natural means. Religion was the first to introduce the idea of genocide. We as humans are quick to define ourselves as civilized. Our actions as humans have proven otherwise. We as humans are part of the animal kingdom but are far more sadistic than any other animal in the animal kingdom. No other animal in the animal kingdom has hunted the other unto extinction. We as humans allow human predators in our places of worship, our schools, and in our institutions to roam free allowing them to re-offend again and again. A good shepherd would not knowingly lead his/her flock to pasture near a wolf’s den. If such a thing were to happen, then the shepherd would remove the threat or remove the flock. Our communities need to come together and rid themselves from their predators whoever they are where ever they are. The fact that we allow our children to be molested and raped is not a sign of a civilized culture. The fact that we allow our fellow humans to go without food, shelter, clothing, and comfort is not a sign of a civilized culture. We know what it is like to be human, but few of us know what it’s like to be a human being rising above the instinctual and re-actionable animal we call human. Human is only the physical aspect. Being is the soul or spiritual aspect. Animism is the belief that all things have a soul whether they are animate or inanimate. Animism is one of mankind's first beliefs. Connecting to our spiritual side is what makes the difference between being just human and being an empowered human being. Being an empowered human being can be the difference between success and failure when making choices to change our lives in a positive way. The hardest thing in life to do is let go of the negative things that weigh us down due to traumatic experiences. We must have compassion for ourselves before we can have compassion for others. Happiness comes from within. We must learn to love ourselves despite our imperfections. We must not allow our imperfections to get in the way of loving others. “When we learn to love one another without prejudice and discrimination, then we will know what it means to be human beings”.
