Thin Line

There is always a very thin line between truths. They might be both true and the same. But we must need to look closer.

There is a thin line between affirming and pretending. When I say "I am pure," this is true. This is what Love wants us to see. We are pure, and its truer than we think we are not. We are more deserving of Love, because this Love is within us. But we fear that because of our defilement, of being sinful, of those mistakes we committed in the past, saying this phrase means we are pretending. This thought of pretending is not true. The time of Love is now. All mistakes we did cannot anymore be us. We are pure, and this is the truth we must see.

There is a thin line between innocence and ignorance. The child within us is innocent, always childlike, curious and seeking for answers. We never stop to wonder. We continue to discover the world that is us. This child within us has never learned to judge and hate, but only to trust and Love. Fear tells us otherwise. That we are childish, immature brats, that we cannot grow and become. That we do not know and not ready to know. Yet we are ignorant because we fear. We are innocent because we Love.

There is a thin line between insight and interpretation. Insight is an experience, coming forth from our inner seeing, inner being. When we learn knowledge, our hearts and minds transform them to understanding. Thus, our insights are born. We can now speak about what we have read or what we have heard, for they echo our wisdom within. Interpretation, on the other hand, is any knowledge we have read or heard, filtered by our own or others' intellect. We accept and preach them as truths but we are incapable of experiencing them. Interpretation is our fear seeking truth. Insight is our Love that has found the truth.

There is a thin line between caring and overprotecting. Caring is Love shown to others. It is my warm embrace, my tender touch, my gentle shoulders, my open arms. I am there with someone, my presence which is the best I can give. But, say, when a mother shouts at her child not to play so he wont get hurt, this might look like caring, but it is not. This is overprotecting. Whenever we repress our loved one's freedom, to stop them because we thought they are in danger, we fear. We stop to Love when we are overprotective. I overprotect someone because I fear. I only care someone because I Love.

There is a thin line between trust and expectation. Trusting is the attitude of the heart. I trust a person because he or she is Love. Whatever a person has or has done, it does not matter. Love cannot be measured by the worth of a person's actions or possessions. Expecting a person to do or have something is limiting. We fear the same for ourselves, for we don't want to be measured by the yardstick we use to measure others. Love is immeasurable. Because each of us is Love, we are the same. Let us stop expecting people to behave what we want. Let us begin Loving people as infinite as they are.

There is a thin line between faith and blind faith. Faith is our conviction to the unseen truth. We deeply trust what Love brings us. This is faith. Even without anyone explaining or interpreting, we are faithful and we see the truth long before we see it. Blind faith is different. It is our default way to ignore the truth, to think that somebody else is capable of knowing it and our only role is to follow it. We accept and defend the truth without understanding it, let alone experience it. This is blindness, not faith. We fear we cannot understand and experience, which causes us not to see. But Love tells us otherwise. We are blessed, because through this blindness we are now given the chance to see; to see the truth of Love.

There is a thin line between detachment and indifference. Detachment is a way to see things with a discerning mind and caring heart. It is seeing life as it is, seeing people as they are, without expecting, without judging. Detaching is not to escape, but to get involve. Yet fear sees this as indifference. Fear deludes us that detaching is escaping, but it is not. Indifference is escaping, because being indifferent is fearing that we cannot do something. We escape and deny things as they are and pretend that they are not existing. Indifference is fear of facing the truth. Detachment is Love, filled with courage to face the truth.

There is a thin line between co-creating and compromising. Co-creating is acknowledging that whoever I meet, they are fully capable of becoming and creating. When we are together, we remain two, yet become one. We are beyond than what we are, yet the truth that I am stays the same. We are both in synergy, our energies become united and empower us both. But compromising is submitting to the will of somebody, for fear of being rejected. We compromise because we want to please someone, and at the end depriving ourselves of the worth that we are. We always settle for less for the belief that we can get more. Yet we end up lesser than what we have. Fear pushes us to compromise. Only Love allows us to co-create.

There is always a thin line. But this thin line becomes thinner, and eventually disappears. Through Love we see the truth. So the thin line will never more exist.
