Essentially, the development of love, understanding and illumination is important because one primary effect of a lack of intuition is "othering." Specifically, intuition can create the quality of love that can heal the delusional mind state that "others." About love Bailey wrote:
When the intuition is developed, both affection and the possession of a spirit of loving outgo will, necessarily, in their pure form, be demonstrated, but that which produces these is something much more deep and comprehensive. It is that synthetic, inclusive grasp of the life and needs of all beings.... It negates all that builds barriers, makes criticism, and produces separation. It sees no distinction even when it appreciates need, and it produces in one who loves as a soul immediate identification with that which is loved. [v]
Cultivate Truth not Lies: We Need a Truth Movement
Truth is a process and its conceptual twin--lying--is also a process but one that destroys.
In the culture of India, it is understood that a person can be an "incarnation" of an idea like "intelligence" or "love." The extent to which the person is able to express the underlying idea is the extent to which the individual expresses their truth.
As such, a mother who harms her children would not be seen as a "true mother." A mayor who steals from his city would not be considered a "true mayor." A President who leads his nation to ruin would not be considered to be a "true President." In Indian terms, each of these individuals would have failed to incarnate their underlying idea.
What can also be gleaned from these examples is that for each individual the idea is a goal. It is an ideal. This means the goal is to be the perfect expression of that "ideal," to be the perfect incarnation of that idea.
Today, America stands in need of a rebirth of truth and meaning. Every citizen needs to stand for truth. Don't lie.
