Love Is Looking And Finding Each One Of Us

Namasté!

Good morning,

Well here we are well into February now. I call this month the love month. As I sit here writing this I ponder these thoughts. Most everyone knows what it feels like to truly love. In fact the first time that we fell in love, very likely we had received no training, no warning, no preparation for this intense experience. In reality, its more than likely that no one really does. Yet this thing we call love comes unexpectedly, quietly, swiftly and cupid always seems to strike the arrow deeply into any heart that loves. Today my dear friend, we may find ourselves falling in love all over again. In this experience, our quest is to express God/Spirit in our experience, and we do so when we love. The act of loving is easy, inviting, natural and rewarding. Therefore let us be lavish with our love; let us be demonstrative with the affection and frequent in giving that comes from this experience. We must truly know even so that there is no reward in our seeking to have love returned. Rather that there is a greater reward in knowing that love is looking and finding each one of us. We then make ourselves available to love by inviting it, believing that we are more than worthy hosts. I believe that when we do so, we humbly honor Spirit, for we are practicing the use of that which has been given to us by divine right. That is, our ability to choose. My dearest friend, today and for the rest of time, choose to love! Have a grand month. I love you!

In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...

Blessed be always,

~dyved...

TREATMENT / PRAYER

"Today I see others as God/Spirit sees them: PERFECT! I apply myself to the joyous task of loving. I am patient, kind and sincere in my encounters, for my natural instincts are to be these ways and I embody them throughout this day. As a result, I am very happy, deeply content well-loved, supported and absolutely nourished all of this day, and forever! And so it is. Amen."

"The one who has learned to love all people will find plenty of people who will return that love."
~ The Science of Mind, page 297

"Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul."
~ Henry David Thoreau

Your Holiness, how can I stay in touch with my emotions without being afraid? I often control my feelings so much that I am closed off and unable to love.

"When I talk about love and compassion, I make distinctions between the ordinary sense of love and what I mean by love. What I mean by love can arise on the basis of a clear recognition of the existence of the other person, and a genuine respect for the well-being and rights of others. However, love based on strong attachments toward one's close ones is, from the point of view of religious practice, something that has to be ultimately purified. A certain degree of detachment must be developed."
~ His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

All around the world there are people in need of love. Rather than feel helpless about their plight, we can take action on two levels. On the outer level we can be socially and politically active, give money to alleviate suffering, and teach tolerance and respect to our children. On the inner level, we can extend our practice of Metta to neighborhoods, cities, countries, all the people with AIDS or Cancer, or any group of people that our heart reaches out to.

Today, place yourself in an egg of light and practice Metta for yourself, for your loved ones and for the "petty tyrants" in your life. Now think of a group of people that your heart really goes out and repeat the blessings for them:

May you be in peace.
May your heart remain open.
May you awaken to the light of your own true nature.
May you be healed.
May you be a source of healing for all beings.

My friend, one more thing about love. I've taken this from the book:
Friendship with God - An Uncommon Dialogue - Neale Donald Walsch
Page 155; third paragraph.

What is Love?

... But how do You define love which is pure and true?

It seeks to damage or hurt no one. It seeks to avoid the possibility of damage or hurt to anyone.

How can we hope to know if someone else might possibly be hurt by an expression of love?

You may not be able to know in every case. And when you cannot know, you cannot know. Your motives are pure. Your intentions are good. Your love is true. Yet most times you can know, and most times you do. It is clear to you at these times how an expression of love could cause another to experience hurt. At these times, you would do well to ask: What would love do now? Not just love for the current object of your affections, but love for all others as well.

But such a "ground rule" could stop us from loving practically everyone! There's always someone who can claim that they'll be hurt by something someone else does in the name of love.

Yes. Nothing has generated more hurt among your species than the very thing that was meant to heal it.

Why is that?

It is that which is without condition, without limitation, and without need. Because it is without condition, it requires nothing in order to be expressed. It asks nothing in return. It withdraws nothing in retaliation. Because it is without limitation, it places no limitation on another. It knows no ending, but goes on forever. It experiences no boundary or barrier. Because it is without need, it seeks to take nothing not freely given. It seeks to hold nothing not wishing to be held. It seeks to give nothing not joyously welcomed. And it is free. Love is that which is free, for freedom is the essence of what God is, and love is God, expressed.

That is the most beautiful definition I have ever heard.

If people understood it, and lived it, everything would change. Your opportunity is to help them understand it and live it.

Then I'd better understand it myself. What do You mean when you say "love is freedom?" Freedom to do what?

Freedom to express the most joyous part of Who You Really Are.

What part is that?

The part that knows that you are One with everything and everyone. This is the truth of your being, and it is the aspect of Self which you will most urgently and earnestly seek to experience.

We do seek to experience it, every time we connect with someone with whom we feel that sense of Oneness. And the difficulty is that we feel that sense of Oneness with more than one person.

Indeed. A highly evolved being feels it for everyone, all of the time.

How do they get away with that?

Let Me see if I understand the question. How do they get away with feeling a sense of Oneness with everyone, all of the time?

Yes. How are they able to do that without getting into trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Every kind of trouble there is! Unrequired love, unfulfilled expectations, jealous partners - - you name it.

You are bringing up a subject that will reveal the main reason there is pain and misery on your planet surrounding the experience called "love," the main reason you find it so difficult to love each other, and the main reason you find it so difficult to love God. It is perfect that you should bring this up here, because Step Three in forming a true and lasting friendship with God is: Love God.
