Love must be the guiding principle, the north star, the hand at the tiller, the thesis statement, the main idea, the sine qua non. There must be none other. Anything else is wrong.
*
Stop projecting yourself outwards. Doing this, you see only the image of yourself writ larger in your interactions with what appear to be others, but are really your creations. If you are devastated by something that happens, everyone around you will know of your devastation, will mirror it and increase it. Whatever attitude or position you take about any situation, exactly that attitude is what you will see projected back to you. If you are elated, people will mirror back your elation. If you are anxious, you will attract and be attracted to anxious people.
And so on.

The more negative attention you pay to the situations about you, the more do you only magnify what began in you in the first place. To pay any kind of attention to this maya, this unending, tumbling, whirling cauldron of change that you call reality, is not to be conscious.

Consciousness is completely unaffected by maya. Consciousness is the ever-present knowing of the truth that is always there, although you may not always access it. Sometimes you are in alignment with it, and all deals work out for the good of all with minimal involvement from you. Friend, this is how it is supposed to feel always! There is no mandate to be sad, or suffer, or feel apart from something you want. When you feel these ways, it is the result of either a decision you made, or one you failed to make.

A decision you failed to make
*
Lack of consciousness is synonymous with failure to make decisions. Failure to make decisions is a form of abdication of your prime function here. Failure to make decisions moves you neither backwards nor forwards, it only prolongs how long you must be here. Lack of consciousness is a holding pattern. No one wants to be in a holding pattern for long, do they? If they knew they were in one.
*
When you are not deeply, quietly aware, then everything else you are paying attention to is just another holding pattern. It is you projecting outwards what you already believe. If you already believe that it’s right to look out for number one, then the people you interact with will have the same beliefs. If you already believe that love must be the guiding principle, then love will enter into every situation you observe, picking you up with powerful wings and flying over all difficulties. Thus do you live out your beliefs.
It is what you came here to do
You all live out your beliefs; it is what you came here to do, to create with your beliefs. Why is consciousness so important? It is important that you know that, and acknowledge that you are here to create with your beliefs.
I am here to create with my beliefs. I am here to create.
Once you have acknowledged and accepted that you are here as a creator, and that you have the power of choice every moment, it makes sense next to ask: what would I like to create?
*
If you chose now, “Let love be the guiding principle of my life”, then you would never face another decision. Every decision would be made by that first one. Let love be the guiding principle of my life.
*
When there is only one way to have life, nothing can present as a decision. You can make this invitation each morning as you awaken into consciousness: Let love be the guiding principle of my life. Do this, and then observe how every decision is made for you, with the greatest good to all, and all your concerns grow and prosper, without much attention from you.
