L O V E - I have heard that word a million times.
Everyone has a definition for it.
It seems to be that everyone has an expectation to love or be loved.
The biggest obstacle I have is thinking that love is trying to compete and compare with myself and others in all of the activities life.
Spoken or unspoken, we all are trying to be loved and accepted about this thing,…this thing we call love.
I end up judging myself and others with questions that sound something like this.
What is it that I'm trying to do?
What do they want me from me?
What do I want from them?
Why is it that I have to share about how I feel?
What do I have to do to get them to love me?
Why can’t we all just get along?
The questions are unending.
In general, it appears love seems to be about my relationship I have with myself and with others.
I think about it all the time.
Then, I begin measuring the times,….
How many times have I tried to love my self and come up short?
How many times have I tried to love others and it not be received or fail trying?
How many times have I tried to receive love from somebody else and I let them down or they let me down, over and over, again and again?
It’s exhausting and scary.
There are many successes too.
Don’t get me wrong.
However, the judgmental mind always has something to say.
There is a perceived emotional void inside of my psyche that feels incomplete, hurt, scared and lonely.
It truly has nothing to do with me, yet I hear it often.
I get it, there is no amount of time, money or power, people, organizations or institutions to help me feel and communicate what I’m truly feeling.
I know I can not think myself into love.
Love is not what I think.
And God knows, I have learned through my trying, it’s not what I do.
The truth is, I have no clue what love is.
But I do know what love is not.
It’s not what I think and it’s not what I do.
This is where I come in, the heart.
Please hear me.
I listen to you think all the time.
When you live trying and trying to push your heart out, meaning surrendering your mind, body to the heart felt presence your sincere passion and joy will be blocked.
You must expect absolutely nothing back in return, then, you can experience an inner joy and peace that occurs detached from all aspects of your mind.
It’s as if you just got out your own way.
You know, love is not what you think.
You can’t get it, earn it or give it away.
All you have to do is stop trying.
I know, you think that is scary and crazy.
Just stop starting or ending any form of loving, liking or being anything.
Let go.
There’s is nothing you can do, there is no book you have to read, there is no person you have to seek, there is no quote you have to memorize or nothing you have to understand.
You are Love.
Thats what you are.
When you use your mind and all of its contents to listen to yourself, you will experience love.
The biggest secret is to stop seeking that which you already are.
You make so much noise, that you try to recruit your body, your heart and me to follow along and we’re already there.
So, just relax.
Just know, you can trust me.
Love will never leave or abandon you.
I promise.
Love will never disappointment you, even if you think it so.
The reason I can say that is because love is your true and only nature.
It is closer to you than your breathing.
It is closer to you than the feeling you have when you touch your palms together.
There is no way you can think yourself out of it.
You are one with it.
I thank you for listening to me, and as we live experiencing life together, keep your attention onto yourself and onto me and over time you will see that you can trust me.
We together will unite with the body.
Pure authentic love, thats what we are.
Body, mind, heart and soul.
Love is not what I think or what you think.
It’s you.
From yours truly,
Your Heart
