Loving it All David Banner

This chapter looks at duality, the mind’s way to judge good/bad, I like it/I don’t like it, etc. Judgement separates us from the rest of life. This occurred when we decided,  millennia ago, that we could exist separate from God, each other and all sentient life.

In this chapter, we look at how an awakened heart perceives reality. We look at the work of the Heart-Math Institute , where mind and heart are re-united. The mind, left to work on its own. breeds destruction and chaos. But by re-connecting the mind with the heart, we can see clearly. Ego is just a state on consciousness…nothing more. It it is limited to a very narrow range of perception. Basically, the issue is this: what do we want to let direct our lives? Love or fear?  That is the basic choice we face.

In this chapter, we look at how we can return to our birthright, a sense of connection with all sentient life. The current of life, the so-called Divine Design, knows exactly what it is doing; by aligning with this current, we can 
know what to do and when to do it. This obviates the need for excessive planning. We also look at why the ego resists what is; the ego wants to re-create reality in its image of what SHOULD be, rather than what actually IS.

This is the second chapter that is optional for those who understand the Enneagram typology, or for a review for folks with a cursory understanding

This chapter looks at how we create “the movie of our life.” It talks about self-created suffering. And the fact that living in love means serving the whole, and getting out of the egoic projections of fear.

The shadow is what Carl Jung called the unhealed parts of ourselves, those parts which were rejected because they were unacceptable to our caregivers and others. They were then repressed into our unconscious, where 
they are projected into our waking  lives.
