Love- The main underlying reason we are here in this realm of gravity is to learn to LOVE! Love is a term with many meanings. “I love popcorn” is much different than “I love you dearly”. The love we are here to discover and live is the big LOVE. The LOVE that we are searching for encompasses compassion, acceptance, respect, caring, and embracing ourselves. When we find deep inside ourselves unconditional Love for all that God and our souls gifted us to be, then we will look at the external world with Love. Through self Love we will be able to truly unconditionally Love others and life! When we Love ourselves we stop fighting ourselves. We stop judging and doubting who we are. We are free to be as God intended us to be. We finally GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY!

This does not mean we are prefect but that we allow ourselves to not be prefect. We realize that we are always in process of becoming who we are. When judgment or doubts rear their heads we do not attach to what they are telling us. Instead of believing the mind when it says something like “You messed up”, which it will still do from time to time, we simply look at that thought. We ask “Why would my mind be sending me this message?” “Is there something I need to address?”, “ How could I do things differently?” Sometimes we will see it is just old programming and let it go. Other times we see we could make some changes, then start on that path. With self Love these changes can truly happen on a deep level because we are not doing something different to impress the outside world. We change because we truly want the best for our self. If our changes prove to not produce our highest good we simply change again until we find what works for us, what makes us feel en-LIGHT-ened. There is no judgment on ourselves, no “wouda-couda-shouda”’s, just life unfolding giving us the perfect opportunities to foster our growth. When we stop judging ourselves we stop judging the world and those in it. When we start accepting ourselves we start accepting the world and those in it. Only through self LOVE do we reach inner peace, gratitude, and nirvana. It is in these moments of calm that we stop fighting the world because we realize the wisdom of who we are and the perfection of Gods Plan. As Bob Marley sings, “ONE WORLD, ONE LOVE”- one peace, one us rolled into the WHOLE glued together by LOVE.
“LOVE IS THE ANSWER, WE KNOW THAT FOR SURE”

Compassion- Compassion for others is a state we pursue and compassion for ourselves is essential for inner peace. Compassion for who we are- humans. This means we need to make mistakes to learn, this means we are not gods. We are a mixture of this life and past life experiences feeling our way through existence towards higher ground. Compassion is the direct opposite of judgment. It is impossible to judge our self or others and have compassion for them. We still need to discern higher and lower behaviors; it means we move away from the mind habit of labeling right and wrong. Compassion is not empathy. Empathy can lead to understanding and sometimes it does not. Compassion is a heart felt sorrow for the human condition.  Knowing as humans at times we tend to do things that hurt our self and others out of our pain and confusion. Combining this wisdom with the loving realization that everyone wants to reach their highest self is compassion. Sometimes compassion looks like “tough love”. With compassion we need to allow others to fall and own their mistakes so they may grow. We love them in their mistakes. It is a “Love the sinner not the sin” point of view. This goes for our self as well. We must always Love our self with the compassionate understanding that we are in process not in perfection. One will evolve much more quickly by accepting their self, feeling their pain and then Love themselves enough not to re-life that pain. This growth based in self-love is the only true growth that lasts and it is the root of all compassion. This process is greatly hampered when we judge ourselves; it is hard to love something or someone when we are labeling a piece of them as wrong. As we allow others to find their own inner self-love we are giving them a gift that no one or anything can take away. This compassionate gift is one realizing another’s higher self; loving the higher self of the other; and wanting the other to dance with their higher self on their own accord. There is not a more precious gift one can give another then a glimpses of their God given beauty and the peace that follows that realization.

Understanding-The first thing that one fully needs to digest in this life and come to terms with is their own humanness. One must understand on the deepest levels of their existence what it means to be human. As humans our history is now. We are a reaction of all that has happened to us in this life and our past lives. This is how our brains are built to behave. Once we understand this, TRULY understand this, and this understanding is part of our very being, we are no longer controlled by this biological fact. This understanding gives us the choice not to react to life but respond. We can engage our freewill once we realize we have not been using it. Responding to life is the understanding that my biology and history are telling me to do one thing and our higher self chooses another. Freedom from the past, creating our own future! We at Human Anonymous offer classes and tools that do just this, creating understanding so one can regain their freewill. We are human and to evolve to the highest states that being human has to offer us, we must understand and embrace the lower states as well as the high.

Acceptance-How can one accept and have love and compassion for the world if they can not love and accept themselves? It is impossible! God and our souls made us who we are and when one can not love our wholeness, one is telling the universe it messed up. If the universe messed up with us it is not possible to see the world without judging where else God messed up. To be accepting does not mean we need to forget discernment. We can look upon this earthly realm and not agree with all its manifestations and with acceptance we do not need to judge that. We can discern what is going to work and not work in our lives and make choices for growth. The difference between discernment and judgment lays in how we accept life’s situations. Discernment is accepting a situation and who you are and making a choice out of self love to do something better for yourself. Judgment is not accepting who you are or situations and telling that thing,”You must change!” It is through acceptance of our humanness and the realization we all occasionally get in our own way that we grow into deeper Love compassion and understanding. When we have this peace soon follows.
