Yes, I agree.
For me, “not of this world” is very practical. It means I don’t have to take the world’s panic, conflict, status, fear, and grievance as final truth.
And yes, love one another. That is where it becomes real. Not as a grand spiritual idea, but in the ordinary moment. Speak kindly. Do not attack. Do not make someone’s fear worse. Treat the other person as you would hope to be treated when you are confused, tired, frightened, or wrong.
That is why I use the word kindness so often. It keeps love from becoming abstract. It brings it down into behaviour.

@Robinzz3@mastodon.au In the next life, spirits cannot help but speak what is in their heart. They no longer have a physical shell to cover themselves as a mask. Their true nature is shown for all to see. In this life, however, people can speak kindly, with a smile on their face, but inside their heart is found hatred, envy, pride and covetousness. So, kind words can be deceiving. All of us have, as you said, been confused, tired, frightened, and wrong. Sharing the truth with the aim to help is love.
