These last few weeks have taught me a lot about Diplomacy.
I have one solid foot in the world of Ambassadors, Commissioners, and World Leaders. I have a toe in the world of Spiritualists, Religions, and The Working Class.
With one more Shift, I’ll be completely removed from “Common Man.” I’m not sure if I want to do that. I listen a lot these days. I observe. I learn. I locate places within myself that need adjustment as I change my Perspective, strategically to position my Mind into The 12 Ethic. No Judgment.
I have received the respect of Rabbi’s, Pastors, Spiritual Leaders. Each one Naming me a model of their Religion. I furrow my brow in curious assessment. Love is my God. And is the only thing I serve.
And that means “Nourishing Growth” centered around the 4 Points of Natural Love. I say nothing. I listen. I observe.
I have learned that the prejudice and hatred of others is not at all a reflection of me. I keep my mouth shut. The Agenda is to Unite All Under Love. Where I am going, I must be silent.
Practicing Love in Love.
This is vital to my mission.
I don’t need to teach on Love to unite others. I let my Actions speak for themselves. I don’t have any stories about Love or Love’s Origin. The Mission is United Under Love.
I have done too much work in Psychology and Jung to not know exactly what the word “God” does to people. It is a trigger word.
But Love is not.
To talk on Religion among people is a gamble I am not willing to make. One I am not willing to risk with the Audience I keep. I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to help others find their friends. I don’t need them to know me or who I am. I need them to find their way whatever that may be.
That is between them and the Universe.
If anyone asks, I tell them, “Love is my God.” If they draw conclusions, I let them and say nothing.
In the last month, I have been told that I am a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, and a Buddha. This fascinates me. I reflect.
In Diplomacy, the goal is Neutral, Approachable, Non-Judgemental. We are in a World where the slightest praise in your own beliefs can start a Nuclear War before you realize you’ve even offended someone.
I don’t play games. I have a job to do.
I’ve become silent. I listen.
“Pray” means “To Meditate or Think.”
“God” means “Love.”
Whatever other words or Stories they have, are not at all my concern or problem.
I watch and I read the room. A Jew will talk on God in an audience, and half the room will leave. I notice the audience leaving. I’m an Actress. I notice when the audience leaves.
I watch the Spiritualists talk on “Source” and “Chakras” and half the room leaves. I notice the audience leaving.
I watch the Christians talk on Christ, and I watch half the room leave.
In a Time where people say they want to Unite All In Love, but then talk about Prophets, Saviors, and Birth Rights, why are they clearing the room?
More importantly, why aren’t they noticing or even prioritizing this? I learned to listen and observe. I learned what to say, what not to say, what to let slide, and what to focus on.
When the Mission is United All In Love in a world where people have not yet learned how to tolerate differences, you tread lightly on what you say… if you want to accomplish your Mission.
I had this hit me hard this week. I watched a new addition to the Team who was very vocal on his politics. His beliefs are prejudice and they offend, but… I was strangely calm and observant.
I withdrew and observed.
I sat down after two days to write this post, this lesson on Diplomacy. When you’re wanting to attract your Religious Tribe, that is the time to talk about Religion. But when you’re wanting to Unite the Word In Love, ironically, not one religion can hold their audience.
What does that say about Religions?
While your Religion might mean “Love” to you, I assure you there are too many people who do not associate “Love” with your Religion. So what is your Mission? To find your Religious Kin… or to Unite the World In Love?
For you? If you are wanting to be an Ethical Leader, an Ambassador, a Networker… Think on this. Think hard on this. Watch what Religious Talk does to your Audience and ask yourself, did the direction of the Conversation get the results you wanted if your Mission is to Unite in Love?
For me, I’ve learned to become Highly Open to all others with a clear line drawn on Logic and Love.
I’ve learned to not share my personal views on anything.
I focus on the Mission. I focus on the Common Denominator of us all.
Love.
