The Fruits of the Spirit!

[Kynan]

 

Galatians 5:22-23

I. LOVE

Love is seeking to reach a stage in our development where we cease from triggering others, but use the time to invest in forming a bond with them instead. The practical applications are: (1) remedying our faults which tend to instinctively trigger others (which then often leads to them reacting by harboring illwill toward and wishing misfortune for us); and instead, (2) putting into application in our interactions that of understanding others struggles, instead of judging them for them in their foibles and follies, and also learning about and encouraging them in finding their every Happiness in Life.

II. PEACE

Peace arrives in the Consciousness from a status of a Conscience fully rectified; and that is: (1) to have made such to be so after forgiveness has been sought from everyone we've ever wronged (even if it results in receiving a merciless or vicious response, and being blamed for being the seed of a grudge harbored in others who use it to justify their hatred because we were once a person we no longer are); and also, (2) to forgive and in it dissolve all resentments or grudges against others for their past or present wrongs against us, such that we wish no illwill or misfortune at very thought of their faces. Completing such work opens up the capacity for receiving Divine Guidance through Signs and Revelations from the LORD, so that we may miraculously be led along with others to manifest True Love and Happiness in Life.

III. JOY

Joy is the unfolding experience of this pair: (1) being ever vigilant in examining our own motives, such that we may identify in us and weed out of us the sinful impulses that lead to transgressing others and then encourage only the glorious ones, thereby inhibiting the former and expressing the latter; and (2) discovering, honing and mastering our Gifts and Talents by converting them into the servants that Guide Humanity into greater degrees of Love, Prosperity and Freedom as a Society. It is the very Acts of taking these twin Journeys, and being somewhere in terms of Stature and rising to ever and always higher postures as we progress, bringing with it the understanding of the throes of the People, such that their problems may be remedied through our insights, and also slowly sliding the balance of the scales out of Ignorance and Debt toward one of Enlightenment and Credit. It is this procedure which produces Happiness in those who apply it.

IV. LONGSUFFERING

Longsuffering is to patiently endure wrongs against us as they're happening, and maybe being repeatedly subjected to them in an attempt to break our resolve in a loving, prosperous and free world so that our Relatiative Instinct is checked from being triggered and overruling our Rationality, whereas, being intoxicated with charged feelings and emotions, provokes the Instinctive Channel to react in kind; for when this becomes so, we, instead of exhibiting compassion for and understanding of the offender's position and how their wrongs against us harm themselves to a greater degree than they do we, seek to: (1) belittle our transgressor's intelligence, (2) attack their character, (3) wound their pride, (4) defile their Manhood, or (5) revile them; or else, we attempt to make them feel as rotten as they first made us feel. But to retaliate and return evil for evil is to be just as guilty of the doing of the initial wrong; therefore, desire for others the blessings you do for yourself: Love and Prosperity, and the Freedom through which to attract and hold them. Replace the former thoughts with instead ones of goodwill and good fortune for all you encounter.

the time to invest in forming a bond with them instead. The practical applications are: (1) remedying our faults which tend to instinctively trigger others (which then often leads to them reacting by harboring illwill toward and wishing misfortune for us); and instead, (2) putting into application in our interactions that of understanding others struggles, instead of judging them for them in their foibles and follies, and also learning about and encouraging them in finding their every Happiness in Life.
