How to Manifest a Culture of Love

Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference. (John Wooden maxim)

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. (Gandalf in JRR Tolkien’s LOTR [Also see here])


Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you. (Wayne Dyer)

One of the greatest acts of love is to pay attention. (Unknown)

Attention is the most basic form of love. Through it we bless and are blessed. (John Tarrant)

It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love is put in the giving. (Saint Mother Teresa)

Many of us have reached a stage in our lives when we think about helping others in some way. We do not necessarily have to choose a helping profession to help others. Every day we are given opportunities in which we can extend in love and friendship to our fellow human beings. (Judy Fraser, Second Aid, p.135)

There’s a whole host of studies that show that performing kind deeds is good for your own wellbeing – like a recent Spanish experiment that saw employees asked to do something kind for their colleagues. Those on the receiving end of the kind act - perhaps unsurprisingly - reported increased happiness, but the people carrying out the gestures not only saw an increase in their own happiness – they also had an upsurge in levels of job and life satisfaction, and a decrease in depression levels. Powerful stuff.

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. (Oprah Winfrey)

Let the spring of love flow within you. Through your thoughts, your feelings, your wishes, your words, let it gush forth over all the creatures and objects around you and beyond, on the trees, the mountains, the oceans. Even if you are by yourself, remember to utter words of peace, of hope and of joy for all human beings on earth, knowing that these words will have an effect somewhere, no matter where. You do not yet know what it is possible to achieve with love. And since we can only give to others what we possess ourselves, try first to establish harmony and light within you, and then, once you feel you have succeeded in making this harmony and light real within you, in your heart and your soul, project them into space. This is what working with love is all about: becoming a beneficial presence for the entire world. (O.M. Aïvanhov)


You do not realize just how rich and full your life can become, but on one condition: that you learn to open yourself up, to give, to become more fraternal, and more generous. Why do you always wait for others to take the first step, to greet you and to smile at you? Do not wait any longer. It is now up to you to project ever more light and love, to perfume the atmosphere around you with your emanations. Then, even the stones on the road will quiver as you pass by, and all who approach you will sense a mysterious vibration communicated to them.
Humans are capable of animating and spiritualizing matter, and not just the matter of their own cells, but the whole of nature around them, even the stones. And they will succeed the day they learn how to tear particles of light and love from their heart and soul. (O.M. Aïvanhov)

Work on yourself so as to develop the psychic and moral qualities that will allow you to understand and accept others better. This is what really matters: learning to live with others. Not only must you learn to relate to your family, friends and neighbours, but also to all kinds of people whose age, training, social background, nationality or race are different from yours, in order to get used to every human situation as early on as possible. For if you are unprepared to deal with these situations, the day they arise, you will be rigid and uncomprehending and perhaps unintentionally heartless. (O.M. Aïvanhov)

Why do you limit yourselves to the contacts you make on the physical plane with human beings? There are other beings to encounter in the universe and with whom you can establish relationships. Every day you have the option not only to link yourselves with the spirits of light who populate the universe, but to draw them nearer to you.
So address yourselves to them, ‘Come, celestial friends, come make your dwelling place in me.’ You can also add, ‘Lord God, Divine Mother, Holy Trinity, all angels and archangels, servants of God and of light, my entire being belongs to you; make use of me for the glory of God, for his kingdom and justice on earth.’
Pronouncing these words is an act of consecration and in doing so, you invite the celestial spirits to come and dwell within you and you place yourself under their protection. If you do not know how to invite the celestial spirits, do not be surprised when other entities, in no way celestial, come and establish themselves in you without waiting for an invitation! It is up to you to decide who you want for inhabitants. (O.M. Aïvanhov)


Colombian priest Father Gabriel Mejia has developed a rehabilitation process for addicted and abused youth that uses love consciousness and meditation as a basis of therapy. He has founded many safe-havens for youth who have been living on the streets. These have a 98% success rate getting youth off drugs and reintegrated back into society.

"My job currently is to globalize love with programs of love consciousness and meditation, so that all of the children of Latin America and the world can learn to meditate and participate in the consciousness of love. This consciousness will change the world." (Father Gabriel Mejia)

"The basic therapy is love. Love is the imperial medicine for any illness or disorder. When a child feels they are welcome, when they feel an educator is concerned about them, the child who came from the violence and hostility of the streets, from being mistreated, and who became aggressive... They change. The child changes.
I’m convinced that a child is not a problem. A child is an opportunity. A child has infinite potential. A child is like a shrine. A child is like a dance of creation. We know a child accepts help because of what we call resilience... the capacity of man to be reborn, continuously. When a child starts to practise yoga every day, morning and afternoon... When a child closes the eyes and begins to meditate... they open themselves up to a field of infinite possibilities... The world opens up for the child. And then the child discovers their essential nature, which is love...
I think that we're all committed to transforming the world we're living in. We have to leave a better world than the one we found. I believe in solidarity. I believe the solution is within every person. Within each one of us is a sanctuary, and the moment we take refuge there, we can enter it. Solutions come from every person. When we put them together, there are many solutions. We must globalize love." (Father Gabriel Mejia)
