Why love is not enough?

 

A line from a singer and song writer Leonard Cohan:

'What I have learned from love, is to shoot the one who outdrew* you.'

Love is the positive side of the western culture.  But love cannot bring the western people out of  the mystery of life.

Why people needs to kill the one who's doing better than himself?

It is because none of the ancient wisdom can tell us the fact about after life.

No one knows where are we going after life.

Hence, the meaning of life is never clear.

Hence, people are fighting for materials like a beast.

It needs some insight to see into the reality of this issue.

The reality is we are all living in a 'total spirit' of our  ancestors.

(1) We are in the spirit.

And this is the first finding we can be sure.

The second finding is:

(2) We are the spirit.

And this is the most important point.  If you believe that you are the spirit,  then you will know that you will not be gone.

That means you will not die.

You will remain forever.

Now we have come to a most important issue:

How can you be sure that you're not dying?

That is determined by your thinking pattern.

The older pattern is for individuals only.

When people cannot think in the terms of the whole human being, they will be in the trap of  individualistic concern only.

If you can change a mind to think about the question:

Where are all these humans going after life?

What is the total purpose of  humans?

Then you have come out of the trap of the  Individualistic concern.

You will not be thinking in a single mind.

You're thinking in a complete mind.

Then the insight about afterlife will be possible.

You know that you will not be gone.

Because we are living in the spirit. 

 And,  we are the spirit.

When people can build up a strong faith about this, there will be real love in the world.

This is important.

We shall know it clearly if we can  go up one level to think.

No one will be gone afterlife.

Note

'Outdraw' could be the worse part of English language.  It was not from the original English, but was created in the early cowboy culture in  United States.  Its meaning is to pull out a gun and shoot faster than your  counterpart.  It was the result of the law of killings.
