How do you hold on to the vision of love in All Circumstances?

REMEMBERING LOVE

Love is being able to maintain a fix on other persons' higher self, only, looking past the many masks presented in them and putting aside personal ego of Self.

I see that the closer I get to understanding these things the more aware I am of how others present themselves with masks. It is easier to maintain this "idea" of love when it is only an abstract idea. The problem I am finding is that when "attacked" by another I see it as a battle between my ego; long-held behavoiur patterns of getting back, gettin even, defending myself and feeling hurt emotions:ego. The other aspect is one of "knowing" that the acts of the other person are a result of their "fear" I see this and also see that my "hurt" reaction is based on the same fear. My ego screams that I have been attacked and need to defend myself. Christ-consciousness says it is illusion, let the emotion serve to show me the mask of others and Self and move onward into love.

The problem I find myself in is being torn between the higher self awareness and ideal of love, while deeply-rooted emotions of the past urge me to defend and show the other person that my "stance" is correct. Bottom line is the only "correct stance" is that of unconditional love.

God principle=love, does not defend itself against man's illusions; love, principle is...It does not alter or change. I see how whenever someone fusses at me because of a difference of opinon,the difference is not the problem , feeling rejected, not loved, etc. is at the base. When I buy into the need to defend myself ,I feed this negative energy with more negativity making the persone feel he must then defend himself against the energy I've directed his way. Since I am the one who sees and understands this principle it is up to me to stop the cycle..When I choose to "wallow" in the hurt emotion,this is a form of defense, my energy helps to maintain the lower vibration.

However, when I choose to focus on love and the higher self of both of us, the negativity is burnt off and replaced with the higher vibration of love, Christ-consciousness..

The Masters do not lower their vibration in response to the vibration of those around them. Even when physically attacked they maintain the energy of perfect love. This is the power,when directed back to the sender of the negative energy which can alter the sender.

In maintaining perfect Christ-consciousness we are then helping others to "awaken", find their purpose, understand who they are, and to let go of the masks..
