Love Is Indiscriminate
Spiritual teacher Adyashanti describes the inclusiveness of love and how actions motivated by love have the power to unite and to change consciousness.
Adyashanti began teaching in 1996 at the request of his Zen teacher, with whom he had been studying for fourteen years. The author of Emptiness Dancing, The Impact of Awakening, and My Secret is Silence, Adyashanti offers spontaneous and direct nondual teachings that have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages.

i appreciate your comments on 'oneness', non-separateness... but im not so sure about not-against-ness...because i think there is defintely a dimension within oneness for being against...(i guess i wish to retain 'the right to protest/to dissent as a duty/to be 'the one' who always points out the other side...'
thus, if there is not going to be 'against-ness' there must still be against... maybe that's jsut obvious but i think it needs mentioning..because i think people can get too lax.. its in a way lazy to say 'we're all one'...'its all love around here..man' and so on..
precisely because there is so much injustice...that if we felt at one with all of humanity then we must WORK to eliminate...(with love admittedly..with the oneness consciousness firmly in mind) but we must WORK to elminate injustices, prejudices, racism, humiliation, war, poverty and so on and so forth..and not look down our Brahmanic noses (what you called being caught in the 'letting go' spaces...) at mere human struggle and strife...of spiritual ignoramuses..
I think that what he's saying is very powerful. We have to frame our commitment to justice in the world from our vision. For what we want to build and create. Not based on what we're against. Because when we practice "againstness" our work for justice and oneness becomes reactionary and we never make any movements toward we want to build. Standing for our vision doesn't translate into passivity. In fact it places us in an even more powerful position to demand an end to injustice. I think the examples of Gandhi and Dr. King illustrate that.
That's really amazing....I believe in that too. It's really important to remember it every moment of our lives. Then, I think it becomes part of our life, and we can manifest amazing things with that infinite power. And when there is love, there is no seperation whatsoever. So, we're naturally one when there's love.
