The respected spiritual master, Sri Cheng Changdin, was giving a seminar talk on love.
Here is what he said:
"Many folk rely on something else other than direct love connection, thinking it could help them make a connection to God through their mind's effectations, (or what your mind tries to bring into effect) but this is wrong, always wrong."
"Just praying to God from your heart is always the way; never will any mind technique ever really work, excepting perhaps for a nightly dream, when your soul can connect to God, via a dream, and bring you some wisdom, down through your mind to you, in that way."
"Love is the connection between God, and anyone living."
"Love connects you, via God, to others through this medium of love."
"Given that love exists, why are obstacles and struggle seemingly necessary within our lives?"
"you might ask me."
"And, my answer might surprise you."
"This is because love needs to find itself within itself, and the only way for love to do this is to initially subdivide itself into categorised portions of itself to compare against its full self."
"By doing this, love sets up an internalised struggling against itself to allow a monitoring of this to be established with our soul, as the learner, and with us, as the experimenter."
"This allows wisdom to be obtained, extracted from the clashing of parts of love, seemingly now clashing against each other, and so we then see, and understand, that struggle is being resolved, by our seeing that each obstacle still contains love, and this part of love also connects to all other parts of love, and helps to build greater understanding, and so an integral balance to all parts of love, is then brought about, now recombined back into the holographically picturised perfection that is God."
"Doing is why you were created, and for you to learn about love from the doing."
"Love lives on in all eventuations of itself, regardless of death, or even of life. Both are only ways for love to love."
"God exists as a oneness, and love, being his energy of doing, created the individualised life forms, that exist independently to house himself within."
"Life feeds consciousness, and death allows life to evolute itself into greater vehicles, more able to hold its forever increasing, stronger, field of awareness, of its own created consciousness."
"Love is the energy behind life, and consciousness is created as a field around this energy of love, whenever love moves actively through a vehicle of life."
"I will end my talk here for today, as I am sure that my talk today, has stretched your thinking in many new ways."
"Think deeply about all that I have said here, until next weeks talk, next Saturday night, same time as tonight, here in this community hall, here too."

an interesting piece, do we obtain wisdom or build a framework of knowledge where wisdom comes to flourish?

Thanks, Scott.
You ask an interesting question.
What is wisdom, is it created by us, ourselves, or is it more something that we can dip into, once our knowledge pool gets deep enough for us to be aware of the wisdom rocks, sitting on the floor of our knowledge?
Wisdom comes from our wising up to see how all knowledge to be used wisely must be linked to love, in some wisdomed way too.
Love is in our hearts. Knowledge builds in our minds.
When we link the two, our minds to our hearts, wisdom comes out of God's woodwork for us then, as an overlayed presence of a new awareness of conscious knowing, of truth, and how it really operates in life, and for God.
Wisdom is simply living from the truths of love, consciously accepted in you, as alive in you, by your seeing this with your mind, as well as you knowing it, in your heart.

@DocAndersen From God's point of view, he could have set knowledge up for us as a framework, and then he leaves us to see the fruits of that knowledge, as they grow on the framework, from our own adding of knowledge to them, these base frameworks of knowledge, so that knowledge builds knowledge, and then helps it to grow more knowledge too, on its framework for us, then too.
And so, if knowledge is but a framework, knowledge exists as a limited resource field of input from God, which is then built upon by man to add to it, with new knowledge, so to speak, but which is always available innately speaking in potential too, but needs to be mined in a useful way, with a use then for it to be put to practical use, but it can be used for impractical use too, as it gives insights into the workings of the world, and ourselves, from which other knowledge can then be better understood from these insights of prior knowledge too.

@innertalks what a great question what is wisdom. the concept of knowledge is interesting is knowledge the presence of information or, the framework around the information that makes it usable?

That's ok. I like to write such stories here, and the occasional poetry article too.
We can write most anything we feel like writing here, or what is on our mind, when we write.
I am saying that the energy of love, (via God's hand of creation), ultimately is behind all things.

It is natural for us to be doubtful of what creation is about due to the wheels within wheels inside the whole structure. We tend to get disoriented by the forces of uncertainties that can throw us into a whirlpool of disorientation.
We need reassurance about the workings of God, creation, and the play of love. Are we all equally loved? Why then do a few face struggles all through their lives while others have a cakewalk?
We can soak in love by sharing and adding value and not lamenting about its workings that we may not be privy to. Ups and downs are part of life and whatever happens, are driven by the energy of love.
Then again accepting what we cannot change and changing what we can for the better can keep us rooted in the right path.

I think that only God can be the full bottle on all of these things.
I have read the wisdom and experiences of various masters, and then some point in their lives, will become known to me, and so, I then see, that they had their own issues of mind too.
It is strange to me how nobody can be perfect in all areas of themselves.
Someone, like Einstein, can be smart in one area, and pretty dumb in another.
He was a smoker, and his treatment of his wife, left a lot to be desired too, if the reports about him are correct.
He did not have the brains to realise how bad smoking is for your health.
Some spiritual masters claim to be in direct contact with God, and yet, they seem to still have their idiosyncrasies, which God has not told them how to correct, for some reason.
If the Jewish Rabbis were really in contact with God, and if the Christians are right about God having a son, Jesus Christ, how come God has not informed them about this seemingly vital truth about himself too.
How come God provides, eggs and bacon for the breakfast of some religions, and dishes up another one, porridge instead, for another?

@innertalks At times, I think most of what goes as God's words, commands, do's and don'ts, are man-made though I do not doubt their sincerity of purpose. They had good intentions to bond people and, hopefully, not bind them into different rigid compartments.
I am at a loss to see the divisions created in the name of God with some touting they are closer to God than others who do not toe their line.
I want to know about faiths but do not want to get shackled by strict strictures that make me more a sheep following a master led by his delusions.

@Shiva49 Yes, once we are caught up in the net of the delusions of some master, it can be hard then to extricate ourselves, from his seemingly correct ideas, but which almost always trap us more, than free us.
