If a teenage kid at school beat up one of your kids to the point they had broken bones and then chucked a brick through your window, would you deal with them by offering love?
I mean I can come up with any number of examples where I take something you care about (your kids, your safety, your peace, your freedom, etc.) and threaten to take it away, injure it, etc. Are you saying you would always react with love now that you've chosen to be a lightworker?
I can see that right now you wouldn't chase after a $300 refund, but maybe that's because you make quite a bit of money from your blog nowadays, but what if someone stole $35k from you? Or defrauded you by stealing your kids college money? or $300k? or some big amount you do care about?
See, I still don't see how someone can live a human life purely polarized in one direction. For example, if you come to my house and offer me love and respect I will reflect that back to you in multiples. However, if you break into my house at night trying to hurt me and my family, LOVE is not what you will feel hitting you in the head before you regain consciousness.
I'm sorry, but I just see that both sides are still needed in life for as long as we still have any snippen of an EGO within us. Once we truly transcend EGO and become perfect and enlightened like Christ or Buddha or something, then we might be able to be a pure Lightworker and act from love always and forever. Until then, why do you practice martial arts? So that you can learn how to love the people that try to hurt your family? I doubt that. |
Your examples are what I'd call being lovey-dovey, not love polarized.
Being love-polarized doesn't mean feeling the emotion of love and pushing it on everyone you meet. Sure you could do that, but if you're smart you can do a lot more for the planet than helping a few homeless people.
If your perspective is very narrow and you care only about your family or your local community, then your thinking, your actions, and your impact will be extremely limited. Think about how to be of service to the whole planet instead. Where are we headed, and what do we need to change? What role could you play in that? Could you have a bigger impact than you're now having?
If you polarize with love and care about all people everywhere, including those who aren't even born yet, then playing it small is simply not an option.
Jesus didn't have Internet access, so he had to go around on foot. Today that would be a suboptimal approach. Nevertheless, he still managed to draw some big crowds and did plenty of public speaking. I don't recall him doing much one-on-one coaching when he could address larger crowds. I imagine it was important to him to get the Word out efficiently.
Martial arts (at least as I practice it) isn't about inflicting violence on others.
