Love and Wisdom: The Art of Appropriateness

H. Melloy Douglas

Description

Love is proof of the existence of God. It is the relationship between God and all that is. It is the existence of infinity existing as all that is. Wisdom is the application of truth in ways that are kind and conducive. When one is loving and wise, he or she will always be appropriate in what is felt, thought, and applied to all else.The measure of a man or woman is the contribution he or she makes to his or her fellows without any expectations.

Part I
Love and Wisdom: Mastery of Consciousness
Welcome to the possibility of love and wisdom as the art of appropriateness.
Life, as love and wisdom, is a journey of discovering, and of touching upon these qualities in personal ways. This journey is wrought with adventure. Discovering love and wisdom is a profound experience.
Experience is touching upon an ideal of character that exemplifies what a quality is and how it works. Our task here, in and with our biology, is to stand as a living testimony to an ideal that personifies such mysteries as God and universe in a way that others will relate and aspire to personally.
How do we get there from here…given there is no place to go?
The journey of mastery with consciousness involves the attainment of stages having to do with clarity of insight. It culminates in living a quality completely. This demonstrates our character according to what we express. We choose what helps determine our sense of self. These qualities also exemplify the nature of God, life, humanity, and what they are as us. We are born into life, and through seven stages of maturity or growth, we enter into situations to demonstrate who we are as humans with the qualities we embody. There is one requirement that is to do the work of consciousness: the application of the self to issues we inherently need to heal or resolve within us as individuals.
We begin at stage one and we evolve through the rest of the seven until we touch upon what reaches a pinnacle in our life, which leads to the end of the journey, ascension. Each stage builds upon what has preceded it. The measure by which a given quality stands is the authenticity and effectiveness of it, and the application of its results to others and to the situations that arise in our lives.
The reason one has come here to this planet in this body determines what qualities and issues one engages. The high point of this is embracing love and wisdom as the content of one’s character and applying these qualities towards others. How one becomes love and wisdom as the self is reached through the stages of bonding, nurturing, encouraging, developing, discipline, accomplishment, and self-mastery.
Bonding is the binding of issues and talents into a single role, which is then viewed as the qualities of one’s character. It is also simply the act of the body being held, thereby instilling the need and desire to hold others to build growth emotionally and intellectually. Being held by another human being is the method of bonding. This heals the sense that one is lacking in life or that something is amiss. It is the holding of the body by another that heals what is felt as pain, fear, and anger.
Nurturing builds upon this first stage by reinforcing our inherent qualities through continuous behaviour and emotional support.
Encouragement continues the growth of traits as talents into usefulness. It is a continuation of dealing with issues needing our attention and intention for resolution.
Development is the path one’s life travels through as those qualities that it desires to live by.
Discipline is focusing upon those qualities and issues we are interested in, so that our life and purpose, our work, becomes the fulfilment of our destiny.
Accomplishment is the effective application of the self in ways helpful to our developed sense of being, illustrated as the qualities we have resolved and embraced
Self-mastery is the fulfilment of faith, desire, and intention as one’s purpose based on the most important ideal to one’s own self. Self-mastery is love as our relationship to God that is shared with others, and wisdom as the application of truth in helpful ways from a place of even-mindedness.
Love and wisdom create an ideal that works personally, relationally, socially, globally, and universally. It culminates in the content of one’s character. It truly demonstrates an effective authenticity to such a degree that one’s life and the role it plays becomes useful because it increases love and wisdom in the lives of others.
Chapter 1: Bonding

What is Bonding?
Bonding endears us to our humanity to the extent we are comfortable with who we are as mind, body, spirit, and soul. Bonding brings us back to our humanity in the states of oneness, healing, wholeness, and ascension. Living this life is not about becoming more spiritual or dying and going to heaven. It is living this experience, and expressing it in ways that are helpful to all aspects composing this planet through integration and connection. Accomplishing this requires resolving the ego, which is not easy to do. The ego has a natural tendency of considering itself in an absolute context. Many egos seek self-glorification and self-idolisation. These are the basis for worshipping something external as a graven image. This includes God and various people who have passed on. The art of doing this is how paganism got started through the denial of the self and what it actually is. That is the role the ego plays for us; it is bonded to the idea that externals alone exist—not what is inherent. The significance of this is God, life, and universe are considered external , rather tha
