Walking the path: weed or cultivate? WEED BARRIER

Where are we best to focus our time?

  1. WEED: Do I spend my time finding my Errors and working on them?
  2. CULTIVATE: Do I spend my time growing within myself Love-in-Action for "the least of these my family?"

Gandhi seemed to say, WEED. Gandhi was obsessed with finding the errors in his life and weeding them out.

Gandhi seemed to say, CULTIVATE. TRUTH IS GOD. Gandhi relentlessly pursued Truth.

Jesus said CULTIVATE! No? The religion He replaced was Judaism which was obsessed with "laws" that were for the minute dealing with weeds. Jesus said No! CULTIVATE. "Follow me." Just Do It!

Both Weeding and Cultivation are necessary, but the emphasis, the strong emphasis needs to be on CULTIVATE, in my experience and practice. Weeding is too much of a "Brain," "Thinking" function. We need to stop "Thinking" and Start Loving. The Heart is the only thing strong enough, wise enough, and visionary enough to get us to Heaven.

The best defense is a good offense: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." "Do unto others ALL that you would have them do unto you.? "As you do unto the least of these my family you do unto me."

JESUS' TWO SOLUTIONS ARE "CULTIVATE:"

  1. "Love [the Almighty - Truth, Love, Life] with your whole Heart, your whole soul, and your whole mind."
  2. "You shall love your neighbor ["the least of these my family"] as yourself."

Or, WEED BARRIER!!?!??!!!!!!!!
