Only the loving ones find love & they never have to reach for it – Sunyata
This has been the month of love. Love has many facets, like a finely cut diamond, yet it is only One. When somebody loves us, our lives are filled with all sorts of pleasure. We have companionship, friendships and family. Yet, we keep searching for that ever – elusive feeling that eludes us, even with all the love mentioned above. After a great deal of actually listening and paying attention to my own heart, I have found that only love worth having is the love I bestow upon others, unconditionally. This is especially difficult with family, friends and close companionship.
Listen! What do you hear? Do you hear someone calling out who simply wants to be heard? Listen! Do you hear the faint voice within you, giving you sacred and divine guidance? If not, then you’re not really listening. There are people who think the only way to listen is with their ears; the ears hears words, but words are filtered through the mind. There are other ways to listen. For instance, you can always listen with your heart. When you listen with your heart, you can hear beyond the filtered words spoken and get what is being said beneath the tongue. The words of another may be coming out in an offensive manner but most likely it’s simply a cry for understanding about some hurt or pain a person might be suffering. If you’re listening with your ears you’ll probably respond from the same level as the literal words that are being slung at you.

What is commonly called falling in love is in most cases an intensification of egoic wanting and needing. Thomas Merton is quoted as saying “Love seeks one thing, the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore is its own reward.

Love is perhaps the most universally recognized and most frequently misinterpreted of our spiritual powers or abilities. This is mainly because most people have a human interpretation of love rather than a divine interpretation. Most people equate love with an emotion. However, love is not an emotion; Love is a spiritual faculty or ability that is expressed through the feeling nature, just as emotions are. Many times, Love is surrounded by our emotions to the point where we have confused it with emotion. Therefore, there is the mistaken idea that love includes turbulence and stress. This is not true. Emotion can include turbulence and stress, but NOT love.

My true relationship is my relationship with myself – all others are simply a mirror of it~ Shakti Gawain.

It is said that there is a very fine line between LOVE and hate. That is true if you are dealing with the worlds’ concept of LOVE, which is ownership rather than sufficiency. Many people believe themselves to be empty of LOVE. They then look for someone to LOVE them to fill the void. This creates attachment and whenever you are attached to someone and are depending upon them for your good, then you either hate or you LOVE in a leaning way. Attachment is not LOVE. “Dependency Is Not LOVE”.
