AN imparting of tenderness


 

This is an imparting of Tenderness.

Tenderness allows the generosity of simple kindness; it allows benevolence, and when it is embodied, it is beautiful and sublime.

Being tender and open, whatever happens, is brave, courageous and enough.

To feel your raw tenderness, you must first have some kind of contentment or submission in your body. And it has nothing to do with what you are saying - by allowing for less self-consciousness, Tenderness naturally attends to the flowing moods of any human, and it brings out the charm and allure of spacious charisma. However, if we only bring the mind’s basket of knowledge to sort things out, we will become sticky, and at some point, will want approval. If the generosity of tenderness becomes secondary, it will be forgotten; we will then turn to old traditions full of morals, rules and therapeutic behaviour.

When we start to feel that we do not need to adhere to the many rules and morals of the social system for a sense of purpose or to be a good human, we get excited! - often wanting to show that in different ways. We might change our circumstances and allow ourselves to feel a sense of power and confidence; we can now talk and have conversations on the burgeoning views that we are starting to see - we design communities and implement them!
This is the first waking-up from society’s bind on you - you realise that your identity has been made up by the cues of society and its culture, and that we can live differently.

When this information is applied through Spiritual discourses by a Life Master, it becomes amplified by His/Her argument that we have been misled away from the simple but profound fact, that we are a product of Life’s making. “You are enough!” - when these simple statements are communicated confidently and unselfconsciously, those who are listening can feel the righteousness of what we have lost and of what you can get back. It is inspiring, but if you do not have humility and sit quietly, you can easily move into a sense of privilege, and then without knowing it, you will start to compete.

So, the Life Master gives the most important communication: This is all about Love.
That is all. Everything I am saying is for that point.
Love.
There are signs of Love and there are signs of not-Love. Mostly, human attitudes live outside of Love, and that is where privilege, guilt, righteousness, superiority and low esteem etc., live.

We have forgotten the art of Love as a human. We have repeated too much, again and again, “we need more” and, “we are not enough.” If we do not feel and respond to Love through an innocent/naïve, devoted and tender way, we forget the Way of Love, because quietly but insidiously we are still saying, “I am not enough”.

Our Tender Raw Heart has been put on a shelf for entertaining, for certain people. We have become engineers and bankers, building up large deposits of knowledge. We have not become Devotees of the Living God; while observing the transient flicker of this fragile conditional Life, our actions are not grateful. But Love’s tenderness is of the utmost competence - everything you need is in that emotion: knowledge, intelligence, wit - and the bravery to accept that we are all passing through.

We are enough! And we all have the right to say confidently for those who are still afraid:
I AM the guardian that tends the Pleasure of Freedom
“give Me back My Tender Heart”
