Motah Chronicles

by Nada-Yolanda

SPIRITUAL TEACHERS AND LEADERS ever have exhorted man to love one another. Yet, in spite of these constant pleas for man to unfold his love expression and to step into his true heritage as a Christed being, there always have been those who either have disregarded or have misunderstood this commandment. These attitudes must change before man enters the New Age of love, and experiences planetary fulfillment as one brotherhood under God.

Man’s questioning concerning his responsibility to love is reflected in the historical dramas of many scriptures. For example, from the beginning to the end of the Holy Bible, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, we have this question: Am I my brother’s keeper? The selfish part of ourselves destroys the unselfish; the mortal tries to murder the immortal. Yet, Jesus, who enacted for us the role of the Christ Self in each one, concluded the entire saga of man on this planet with, “I, if I be lifted up, will raise all men unto me.”

Throughout all eras, societies and religions the truth teachings of the masters have emphasized our responsibility as spiritual sons of God to demonstrate brotherly love to all our fellowmen; to our neighbors as well as to ourselves and families and friends. In the present hierarchal program for the Second Coming, this love responsibility takes on a new urgency not only for all light workers but for all mankind of Earth. For before man here can enter into the New Age of spiritual expression and fulfillment, he must prove himself willing to example divine laws of love and brotherhood to all his fellow beings on this planet.

Many Hierarchal Board channelings through me also have stressed the responsibility of brotherly love for one another, and have given a blueprint of truth principles by which we can pattern our demonstration as spiritual beings evolving from third dimensional physical form into fourth dimensional light-body form. The following communication by Sananda on October 20, 1969, illustrates this need to become love in action. [For more on our love responsibility as light workers, see “Demonstrate Love Responsibility” on page 351 in Nada-Yolanda’s Autobiography of a Prophet.]

“If you will, use love as divinely guided and directed in whatever measure you deem appropriate; but use it. If you cannot love a person or situation as it is, love that person and situation as it is meant to be or as you desire it to become. All is in a state of becoming. Therefore, what is the highest and greatest or most desirable activity, but love? So, become love in action. That is your scheme and your activity of future projects. . . .

“For to love and to bring love energy into any human situation is to equalize it with the Father-Mother Creative Principle. The equalizing both balances negativity into positive response, and causes a new form to become manifested in and through the person or conditions experiencing this particular vibration. . . .

“You are not to be concerned with doing this, as you do not do anything. The law or Lord God does all things. You are the focal points of energy and creation through which He works. Therefore, make yourselves agreeable and available for Him to do this work. You do this by becoming love in action.”

Examples of Love

The following case histories are about caring and loving; and are meant to inspire and to hearten us as light workers to be aware of, and to search for, yet-undiscovered ways we may aid our fellowmen and apply the commandment Love One Another.

• Resolve relationships now. On March 10, 1978, syndicated columnist Ann Landers published a letter a person had written to his family on the death of a brother. Poignantly it focuses on the sin of omission, after it is too late to rectify a state of selfishness or indifference. The person wrote: “During this time of mourning there comes a pause for reflection, appraisal and regret. I regret that my brother and I did not accept each other as we were. I regret that we didn’t help each other more, that we didn’t share our feelings and our troubles. I regret that we didn’t make time for each other. These things I regret for myself. Yet, I believe I am not alone.”

The renowned columnist replied: “Of course, it’s too late to do anything about your ‘regrets,’ but writing that letter to your brother’s children, and to yours, and sharing it with my millions of readers will surely cause others to reflect on their relationships with brothers and sisters. You will never know how much good you have done. Thank you.”

• Everyone needs love. Here is a survey published at the University of California in January 1978 by Lisa Berkman, a disease specialist at the university’s School of Public Health. To all of us this report should answer the often-asked questions: What can one person do? Can the thoughts and the actions of one person really make any difference?

This study showed that persons with a low level of social contacts faced two to four times the risk of dying than people with many attachments. The university said the study “provides the first strong scientific evidence to link social and community ties to mortality rates, and perhaps to an overall resistance to disease.

“In each case, covering nine years, persons with strong social ties and relationships had lower mortality rates than those without such contacts. The more intimate ties of marriage and contact with friends and relatives proved stronger predictors than ties of church and group membership.”

Berkman said persons low on the social-contact scale had a higher risk of dying not only from leading ailments but also from accidents and suicides.

• Persist in efforts to love. From my personal files comes this example of a close friend of twenty-five years: “This professional woman had an extremely harsh life with a husband, six children, her own business, and a lover who could not marry her even though she divorced her husband. She began to drink heavily, and I continually warned her that she was becoming an alcoholic and destroying her health.

“Our friendship spanned the years of her many crises; but she continued to drink heavily, which certainly didn’t solve any of her problems. Instead, this got her deeper into more problems and new crises. Eventually she married a man who, it later turned out, was a sicker alcoholic than she. . . .

“Every time she was in trouble or was ready to run out on her obligations, she called me. For twenty-five years I repeated the same spiritual truths. She would get a little bit better, something new would surface — because she had not changed her basic patterns, nor faced her destructive habit — and it would be back to the old sickness.

“However, she always said to me: ‘At least, Yolanda, you are always there. No matter how bad things get, I know you’ll listen. You’ll scold me harder than I scold myself, but at least I have one person who knows and cares about me.’

“Watching her second husband destroying himself, without any of her sincere and persistent efforts making the slightest dent, she suddenly stopped drinking. All our talks over the past twenty-five years finally took root. She began playing the role and speaking the same basic truths to her husband that I had with her.

“The real miracle to this story is that her new resolves and patterns affected her son, who also was an alcoholic. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and this profoundly changed the life of her other children, grandchildren, and the children of her second husband. ‘I, if I be lifted up, will raise all men unto me.’ ”

• Love is unconditional. On a ranch in Homestead, Florida, George and Barbara Goins opened their home to problem youngsters. This is no formal state or church-run rehabilitation center. The Goins have just one panacea for every problem: love, and lots of it.

Here is a quote from a Miami Herald newspaper interview with them on February 20, 1978: “You just can’t fight love. No matter how much wrong these youngsters do or what they get into, we simply open our arms and love them. We let them know we don’t agree with them when they do wrong, and we tell them they don’t have to do harmful things to themselves and to others. . . .

“We know we can’t stop the children from doing wrong. They have to want to do that from within. But with each victory we gain another helper. That youngster in turn tries to help another. It just keeps going on and on. We’re not working to see how many we can say we have helped. If we reach only one, well that is reward enough for us!”

They stated a basic universal law. If we, the light workers awakened on Earth today, cannot think and feel, speak and act in this same way, then there is no program and there is no hope. So, let us consider how each of us can do just one more thing for a spiritual sister or brother, go just one more step for someone who has stumbled and fallen. For one act or gift to a fellow child of God can affect, inspire, uplift and change millions of others.

Your Love Potential

But the questions still may remain: How am I to know love? What are the guideposts of brotherly love? By what signs within myself may I be sure that what I feel for others is true caring?

Self-examination on a frequent and regular basis is essential to answering honestly these questions. Repeatedly going within and connecting with your I Am spirit will help you discover your love potential for your fellowmen. The following passage is ideal for spiritual study and regular self-analysis. It is taken from the book Teach Us To Pray by Charles and Cora Fillmore, published by Unity School of Christianity. Charles Fillmore, cofounder of Unity, had incarnated previously as Paul the Apostle, and is now on the etheric planes as Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray.

“We have thought of love to God in terms of something of immense size, something that we must encompass as a whole, when the fact is that love is a composite. It is made up of attributes, as is made clear by Paul in 1 Corinthians.

“According to Paul, love is the name of a great variety of little commonplace activities of everyday life.

“Are you patient and kind? ‘Love suffers long, and is kind.’

“Envious? ‘Love envies not.’

“Egotistical and proud? ‘Love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up.’

“Are you temperamental? Love ‘does not behave itself unseemly.’

“Are you grasping and selfish? Love ‘seeks not its own.’

“Do you give way easily to your temper? Love ‘is not provoked.’

“Do you behold evil as real and agonize over the evils of the world? Love ‘takes not account of evil.’

“Do you rejoice when disaster overtakes evil persons and exclaim, ‘They got just what was coming to them’? ‘Love . . . rejoices not in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.’

“Do you patiently bear the whips and scorns of time? ‘Love . . . bears all things.’

“Are you open-minded and receptive to good, whatever its source? ‘Love . . . believes all things.’

“Do you anticipate the future with fear and forebodings? ‘Love . . . hopes all things.’

“Do you endure with trust and confidence in eternal justice? . . . Love ‘endures all things.’

“Paul says: ‘If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. . . . But now abide faith, hope, love, these three: and the greatest of these is love.’ ”

High Self Action with Love

“Attunement is not enough; action with love is attunement with Self. . . . You may step out of the physical into the high Self activity every time love speaks through action. Love of Self causes intunement, but love of God and man is action. . . . This is the New Age teaching. . . . So, New Age is action with high Self, action with love.”
