Agape: Spiritual Love versus being real

[StarStruck]

I developed agape (which is spiritual love) and I completely lost it in the last couple of weeks since I have been getting more business. There are a lot of people who are traitorous, selfish, and not a man of their word. I discovered I'm just very naive about people and I have to understand them better. Already have done some acceptance work in combination with (self) inquiry .Love can't be forced anyway. First step is acceptance and seeing the nature of the beast within myself and others. I mean I can appreciate a bear at a distance, it doesn't mean I want to cuddle it. Kind of reminds me of the biblical story of the pig and pearls:

I will never want to have a pig in my living room and that is ok too. I don't get people who say you have to love everything on this forum. Let me bring a pig into your living room and force you to live with it for 1 month and see if that still withholds. I think people on this forum have to get a grasp. Not-loving is love too.

I found out is that being real is being far better than holding up this spiritual mask/ego or doing a little song and dance to convince yourself that you are such a SD green person. Once you reach SD yellow this falls away and you understand that everything is perfect as it is, including yourself and all of your reactions.

You can actually strike at your enemies and do it with the love of god and you will be more virtuous than doing this little spiritual song and dance and pretend something virtuous. All emotions are legit and there is no button to press to make it less.

the only responsibility you have is to yourself

take your daily bread and feather your own nest before you rub shoulders with any worldly pigs

and certainly don't bring any pig into your own living quarters

only if you're ok can you have the world be ok

first half of day is for me, second for you

i get the best and you what's left

As kids, my sister and I played this circus game. We would stand several feet away from each other, and she’d toss a grape up in the air for me to catch. Me being the clown I am, I choked on the last grape as it entered my mouth hole. This experience taught me not to play with fire.
