It is a very high stage on the path of Love when man really learns to Love another with a Love that asks no return

The nature of life on earth is illusory, and every soul having the spark of the Divine Love forgets the use and the purpose of that spark and begins to love itself most. By a keen study of human life, man will find that, as a rule, when he claims that he loves, in reality he loves himself; he loves his own benefit in life, he loves another for the help that other gives, for his goodness, for his kindness, for his service, but in all this he surely loves himself, and it is for himself all the while he thinks he loves another.

It is a very high stage in the path of love when man really learns to Love another with a Love that asks no return, when he/she does not seek Love for the sake of Love in return, then Love becomes pure, the Lover gives and gives and gives, but even that is not the purpose of life, it is still greater. The Perfect One, who is the source and origin of the whole Creation, is the Perfection of Beauty. All beauty on earth or Beyond belongs to IT, and the purpose of the Creation of every Soul is to progress in the path of Love until the Soul arrives at a stage where It may find the Perfection of Beauty.

The development of Love is often hindered by different obstacles in life. The first obstacle is ourselves. We begin our life with selfishness, and all we want is for self, and if there is a tendency to love it is for one’s own happiness, one’s own joy. When the question comes, “How much do you love me, and how much do I love you?” it has come to be a trading in love. “I love you, but you do not love me” is as much as to say, “I have bid so much, and I expect a return of love”. This is trading in love, and trade cannot lead anywhere, because it makes one think of the self, and Love is beyond that. To Love is to give, it is not to take at all. The True Lover never speaks of what he/she has done for his/her Beloved, for he/she Loves for Love’s sake, not for the sake of a return.

To what does the Love of The Creator lead? It leads to that peace and stillness which can be seen in the life of the tree, which bears fruits and flowers for others and expects no return, not even thanks in return. It serves and cares for nothing else, not even for appreciation. That is the attribute of the Godly.

Surely we are all here to learn this very deep lesson.

Love On,

A poem to Share – Love is always Present

/

 

Love is always Present

It always has been

and always will be.

It is free.

It has no boundaries.

Being always present, it is just

waiting to be called forth.

Knowing you are loved by All Love

is the beginning of awakening.

You cannot love another truly

until you can love yourself at depth.

Love is, at essence, All there really Is.

To be outside of Love is to be in illusion –

a false dream that has no Reality.

True Love, when allowed, shatters the dream.

All Love is your love –

you have only forgotten –

It never left.

It does not come and go

and it does not come from without.

You call it forth from within.

Love, awakened from within,

is called Clear Vision –

it sees the Truth contained in All that Is.

That truth is to see the ecstatic, eternal glory

present in all creation.

The love you now perceive in others

is only the One Love –

the love you give — reflected back to you.

No one has more love than anyone else –

nor any less.

It is only that some are

further along in waking to it.

Forgiveness is the birth canal

of True Love into our awareness.

How does it feel to be expecting?

We are all pregnant!!!

What are you waiting for?

/

There is a Native American saying: “We are the ones that we have been waiting for.”
When you stop to ponder those words, what comes into your heart?
For me, it’s saying that we have been waiting for our own personal “selves” to show up! If we were as connected to our own individual “voice and consciousness” of our own hearts as we are to our Internet, our world would come back into balance as quickly as it takes to send an email!
So many people are waiting for something, or someone to show or tell them how to make the changes that are necessary to shift our planet out of the downward spiral, that it appears to be in. Each of us has the answer and the power, literally within us, to make the changes necessary. There is no need to wait for someone else…it’s YOU that you have been waiting for!
The energy that will shift all of us is our reconnection to our own hearts! That is who we really are…We are our hearts!
Reconnecting back into the heart energy of each and every one of us becomes the collective heart energy of the “We.” We can’t attract the things we want to bring into our lives, until the energy and vibration within each of us, matches the vibration of what we are intending to attract! This is what I hear that message calling us to do! The individual heart energy of each of us becomes the collective heart energy of all of us!
We are the ones that we have been waiting for! As we each begin to waken to our individual heart energies, a larger and more complete shift begins. When we strip away all the material crutches that we have put our faith and energy into, there is nothing left but the pure heart energy of each of us. Without all our material distractions, that occupy most of our waking hours it will leave us with the opportunity to finally feel our lives through our hearts!
Change begins one person at a time and one heart at a time! We can do this, because “We are the ones we have been waiting for!” So what are you waiting for now?

Something Worth Sharing

A point of view different from your own might
be well worth entertaining.

Sometimes it is not easy hearing an idea that is
different from the one you are advancing — yet it
might be that second idea for which you were actually
reaching for.

Answers arrive in more ways than one. Sometimes
they come through us, and sometimes they come
to us.
