Creating Loving Ecosystems

Everything that God has designed is designed around love.
The entire universe is governed by loving laws and loving principles. For us to be able to create a loving ecosystem, we need to understand how love affects and controls the entire system.
For anything to flourish, love must always be present. We must understand how our condition, which we often refer to as our soul condition — the sum total of our beliefs and the actions we take as a result of those beliefs — is reflected in the environment.
We need also to understand that God is always bringing more and more love into the system. God is constantly trying to recover the system. Whether that system is here on Earth or anywhere in the universe, God is always attempting to bring more and more love into the system. Every single living organism that has ever been created has been created to attempt to bring more love into the system.
Unfortunately, we often resist God’s efforts to bring more love into the system. We often attack the things that we believe are unloving but which God has created in a loving manner to bring more love into the system. We attack the organisms that we believe are dangerous, we attack the organisms that we believe are toxic, we attack the organisms that we believe are going to substantially harm us personally or our families or the environment. We also attack the organisms that we find bothersome or pests. But all of these organisms have intelligence that God has been using to bring more love into the system.
We need to understand that for anything to flourish, love must be present in the system.
When our love is present, all sorts of positive things occur.
Firstly, all organisms and the entire system itself flourish. In addition, all the organisms and the entire system itself remain in balance, in perfect balance, in perfect harmony. Thirdly, there is complete abundance for every part of the system to survive.
When our love is present, we receive all of these benefits in the entire system.
When love is either absent or addictive, organisms respond either aggressively or passively.
Let’s define addictive as: love is given only for some personal benefit that we will receive. When our love is either completely absent or is only given as a barter for something that we personally will then benefit from, certain things happen with specific organisms.
Aggressive organisms express arrogance to the system when they are loved addictively. When an aggressive organism is loved and honored more than other organisms in the system, it feels itself to be superior, due to the attitude of the human. The human views that particular organism as superior, and as a result of that, the organism itself knows that it is superior in the eyes of the human. Since it views itself to be superior, it then begins to attack and destroy other organisms felt by the human to be inferior.
In other words, the aggressive organism demonstrates a reflection of mankind’s dominance over Nature. When we do not respect all parts of the system equally, and do not love all parts of the system equally, each part of the system that is given more love, if it is an aggressive organism, will go into expressing its superiority over other organisms.
For example, a domestic cat will kill animals and birds even though it is well fed. Because the domestic cat believes itself to be superior to those other animals and birds in the eyes of the human, as a result, it will attack these particular animals and birds. Another example is domestic goats eating everything even when they have eaten enough. When they’ve had enough food to survive, they are still eating, are still attacking, and completely cleaning off everything. I’ve heard them referred to as “maggots” eating the flesh to the bone, and that is often an indication of how the system is out of balance. These aggressive organisms express arrogance to the system when they are loved addictively.
If aggressive organisms are attacked by humans, then they go into hyperdrive with reproduction. They feel competitive and aggressive toward other organisms in the system. They are aware of the negative feelings that come from humans, and they are aware that these feelings coming from humans threaten their survival. As a result of that, they respond with an attempt to survive.
For example, insects that humans want destroyed will often feel that sense of attack from the human and therefore increase their reproduction rates. Insects that people want destroyed will eventually attack the very people who want them destroyed. This is why we have things like mosquitoes biting humans. Insects will also reflect the fear in humans that causes humans to attack others, and this fear will be reflected in the insects themselves: they will swarm and attack and trigger the fear that is in the human.
When our love is absent or addictive, aggressive organisms respond in the ways just described. If our love is absent or addictive with passive organisms, there is a different reflection.
Passive organisms express meekness to the system when they are loved addictively. They feel themselves to be inferior due to the attitude of the human. In other words, because the humans themselves generally have a lack of worth, these passive organisms also tend to feel themselves to have lack of worth, even if they are loved addictively. They are then attacked and destroyed by the aggressive organisms. They demonstrate a reflection of mankind’s submission and unworthiness.
For example, a precious, shy marsupial that we love addictively will be attacked by our own cat. The cat feels superior, the shy marsupial feels inferior, and because of the differential in love, the cat will attack the animal that we love.
Passive organisms regress and reduce reproduction when being attacked. They first attempt to flee the area completely. If that is not possible, they go into hiding, and they do not feel safe to breed and to multiply. As a result, the passive organisms reduce in numbers and reduce their reproduction rates, and reproduction cannot be supported.
So when our love is absent or addictive, we have these imbalances toward the things we love addictively or we do not love at all in comparison to the things we actually do love.
When organisms are loved equally, the system comes into balance.
What we have found in helping different people with their particular properties is that if they have love for every single animal in the system, the animals that used to attack other animals begin to stop attacking other animals. In fact, some animals have completely stopped attacking other animals altogether.
For example, we have some friends who had lots of foxes on their property that were attacking their sheep. Once we introduced this concept of loving everything equally, the foxes stopped going into hyperdrive with reproduction. They also stopped attacking the sheep, and since that time there have been no attacks whatsoever on the sheep, when before there was a large number of sheep being attacked by the foxes.
In addition, what they have noticed on the property is that there are very, very few foxes actually on the property as a result. This is because the foxes feel very, very comfortable now being on the property, and as a result they are not in hyperdrive and they are not in attack mode. They feel that they are able to survive without having to revert to attack themselves, and as a result of that, they are much more in harmony with the rest of the environment.
All organisms desire survival, and they will always adapt to survive.
If we love organisms and we provide everything that they need for survival, then we are not forcing adaption; we are not forcing an evolutionary change on the organism. But if we have an attitude that does not have love, that wants these organisms to change, then we are actually forcing adaption on these organisms.
If we have an attitude of love, this attitude of love will allow change and growth through positive events rather than negative events. An attitude of love does not force adaption through negative events; an attitude of love allows change and growth through positive events.
For example, we do not reduce what the organism needs to eat and therefore force the organism to survive by adapting. That would be an unloving action toward the organism. What we do instead is to provide enough of their normal diet, and we also love them and introduce other things into their diet that they may eat. Then they will be able to decide for themselves what they choose to change and grow with.
Organisms that are not loved will understand they are under attack from the system, and therefore they will respond to that attack. Organisms that are loved will drop their defensive actions.
All organisms respond to the emotions of fear and anger in humanity.
Fear automatically creates a struggle to survive. Fear creates a system that involves a lot of work, because everything in the system is struggling to survive. Fear creates a system that is without abundance. Fear creates destruction of areas of the environment that we are afraid of. Fear creates competition with areas of the environment that we are afraid of.
All of these fears projected upon the environment cause the environment to also respond in the same manner.
In addition, if we have anger as humanity toward the environment, then not only does this anger create everything that the fear creates—since anger is always the result of suppressing fear—but anger also creates aggression within the entire system, a desire to attack and destroy.
Destruction of the system through natural events also is attracted by anger — natural events such as fire, flood, et cetera. These kinds of destruction always occur through somebody, some human, firstly either expressing fear or expressing rage toward the system. Even things such as erosion of the soil in the land all begin from some kind of fear or anger, starting with humanity. We need to understand how these events occur.
God is always trying to bring love back into the system.
Every one of God’s laws is created in order to expose a condition of love — whether love exists or not. Each one of God’s laws has the effect of bringing more love back into the system. Every living organism that God has created will also respond to these laws attempting to bring love back into the system.
Each one of God’s laws is attempting to correct the human's unloving condition. So if we understand that every little imbalance within the system is the result of the human's unloving condition, and we understand that everything that is caused by this imbalance is the result of the human's condition not being addressed, then we will attempt to address the human's condition as a part of growing an ecosystem that is loving.
If a loving system is left alone by humans, you will notice that it always eventually gets to a point of balance. If a loving system is attacked by humans, it always eventually becomes more imbalanced.
