What is Love?

 

Have you ever actually stopped to ask yourself what love is…to you? 

As I have searched to understand love, I have learned a lot about myself.

At first, I tried to define love.  I created all sorts of labels for it, I gave it titles and names.  I qualified Love with what I “thought” it was.  I thought about my family, my friends, the relationships I see in TV and movies.  I still didn’t know what love was…to me!

Next, I asked myself:  “What does love feel like?”

As I attempted to discover what love felt like to me, I had to consider all of the labels and names I gave it. Trust, honesty, kindness, forgiving, nurturing, compassionate, intimate, non-judgmental, and dependable.

Have I ever felt this from another person? 

Sadly, the answer was No!   Every relationship I have had has had an expectation.  If certain things weren’t done, there would be a consequence. 

The more I pondered this, the more my perspective on love changed.  Love doesn’t have expectations, nor obligations.  Love is just love!

A space for love.

  When you look into another persons’ eyes, what do you see?   Do you see a pure reflection of light, of respect, of compassion, of reverence?   Do you feel warm, do you feel comfort, do feel safe and secure?   Can you say anything that you want without worry of how they will receive it?   This is the space where love resides.   It is in this light that all thoughts have the power to manifest love into being.   Often times we think of love as just words.   If someone tells us that they love us, we like how that feels.   And yet sometimes, the words don’t always match the feelings in their eyes?   If you look into someone’s eyes and you don’t see this love, how does that make you feel?   Do you feel mad, do you feel sad?   Do you feel like you have done something wrong?   In most cases, you will answer “yes”.   This is a space in which you need to heal because you feel as though you are unworthy of their love.  ...

Universal Laws and waking up!

  Consciousness Is being transformed right before our eyes.   With all of the revelations that have come out, and all that is about to be shared over the next few weeks/months, we are seeing a major transformation within people.   Those that have been “on the fence” about all of this are actually starting to believe it…and those whom have remained asleep and in denial, they are about to get a very rude awakening!   It will only feel this way to them, as it was their choice to remain blinded by their own ignorance!   No judgement – just truth.   I have had many years to gradually integrate these dark subjects.   For those that haven’t, the pain of TRUTH will create many internal and external outbursts!   Some people will find it hard to continue living.   The goal for those of us who are awake is to maintain situational awareness, be mindful of how others are reacting, and to hold space for them as they come to grips with the enormity of the...

Creating a new dream!

Every day feels more and more like a dream.  I spend almost all of my time alone, and within this space is the freedom to feel all of the energies swirling around in the “air”.  As I feel these energies, I am reminded of how we each must take responsibility for our reactions, and more specifically, our thoughts. The outer world is constantly influencing how we experience this life.   When something goes “wrong” we lash out, we blame, we call ourselves horrible names, and we call others even worse.   There are so many people speaking in such a negative way -   it is quite painful.   I hear how they perceive the world, I feel the words that they speak.   And then I wonder, “how are we going to change this behavior”?   How can I make a difference in how these people SEE the world?   And then, I step back and realize that the only way to really be of service to these people, is to show them the mirror of what is possible.   I am the mirr...
