as above, so below

“Love not one thing and not the other, nor love one thing more than another, yet love everything, and all of life, with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your soul;

for in the loving of that which you call ‘bad,’ you transform it;
in the loving of that which you call ‘evil,’ you disarm it;
in the loving of that which you call ‘harmful,’ you render it safe;
in the loving of those who would do you harm, you cause yourself to be impervious to them.

“And in loving that which you call ‘good,’ you empower it;
in loving that which you find pleasurable, you enhance it;
in loving that which you call ‘Godly,’ you define yourself and lay claim to Who You Are.
Yet judge not, and neither condemn, for that which you judge will you become, and that which you condemn will condemn you.”

God would have said, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Then he would have added, “…for thy neighbor is thyself.” There is no separation. Therefore to love your neighbor is for your right hand to love your left, your eyes to love your face.
You cannot love one thing without loving the other, nor can you despise one without casting aspersion upon the other, for all are of the same body, and none exists apart and separate from the other.
When you understand this, and when you help others understand it, you begin to create life “on earth, as it is in heaven.”
We are doing that right now, of course. We are creating life right now as we think it is in Heaven. That is why...
...the world is the way it is. That is why our planet is filled with intolerance, judgment, and condemnation.

“As above, so below.” we are always creating life on earth as it is in heaven. The way we imagine life to be in heaven is how we try to create it on earth. And if we construct an idea of heaven which includes punishment of the mistaken and the “wrong,” exclusion of the undeserving, a home for a God of special favor to only a certain few, a God of judgment and damnation, of anything but unconditional love, then you will experience an earth of the same qualities.
For it cannot be any way for you on your earth other than the way it is for you in your heaven. Thus: as above, so below.

For the highest of your thoughts will produce the lowest of your experiences.
And the higher your thoughts and aspirations, visions and intentions, the higher will be even your lowest experiences.

It has been written, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all else shall be added unto you.” Yet know this: the Kingdom of Heaven is not sought and neither is it found by selective exclusion of everyone you call “ungodly.” Rather, it is created by calling everyone godly.
In other words, by unconditional love.

“As above, so below” means: As it is in your highest thoughts, so will it be in your lowest; as it is in your highest dream, so will it be in your lowest; as it is in your highest idea and your highest ideal and your highest vision, so will it be in your lowest.
The lowest part of you is risen (“He is risen”) when the highest part of you soars.

Let’s forget everything we think we know about ourselves, let’s forgive everything we think we’ve done that is “bad,” and let’s start over, this time recreating ourselves anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision ever we held about Who We Are—as a species, as an individual, and as an Aspect of Divinity expressing That Which Is.

Remember today that you are not your Yesterdays.
Remember today that you are not your weaknesses, not your foibles, not your offenses, not your failures.
Remember today Who You Really Are, and claim that.
