The Sixth Divine Principle seems to be an invitation to simply live lovingly: “Share love in everything you do, and be open for opportunities to give your love to others in as many ways as you can, through acts of kindness, giving thanks, being respectful, offering encouragement, and showing appreciation and gratitude for what you received from others as well.” Given that no two people are alike in their characteristics, there will be inevitably, a wide variation in what people recognize as opportunities and choose to act on. Can you help us understand whether there is an absolute divine standard of performance here, or how else to implement this Principle?

In a word, the answer is “no.” For the same reason, as we discussed above, no two people are alike so there will never be parity in all things chosen or denied. Each individual will act according to their own makeup and their own feeling in the moment that is a reflection of the sum total of their being or its current level of distortion through unhealed trauma. So we do not expect everyone to meet any particular standard of conduct, and again, would point out that if each person is true to themselves and their own particular nature and turns that around in a way to allow others to have from them what they would do for themselves or expect to receive, and are willing to give in like measure, this will go a long way towards promoting a love-based world, and this is the goal here. The idea is not simply to have a static world of harmony and bliss as that is a challenge for all life to achieve and maintain when not in the presence of Creator. The idea is to spread love and be ambassadors of love, to create new experiences of all kinds through the exercise and utilization of love. That is not only a standard in a certain sense, but a living thing that expands and contracts, and transforms into many, many variations. It is an energy and an ultimate goal of the universe at the same time, so we mean this Principle for Living to reflect the idea that love is an ongoing enterprise, the goal being for its expansion and to create many new variations of possibility and learn in the doing, new ways to give and receive love and all that entails. So this is not something static, it is something that represents a flow and flux across time and many, many dimensions with every activity representing an opportunity to break new ground and create new possibilities others can learn from and exploit with a further expansion. This is Creator’s goal for the universe—love is the engine, in effect, it is the fuel, and the ultimate purpose behind everything.
