Love is Extension

posted in: Love, Relationship, Spiritual 0

Rumi QuoteLove is one of life’s greatest mysteries and to try to define love’s meaning is said to be far beyond our comprehension and some even say that love isn’t able to be taught. Within the human condition where duality reigns, the opposite of love is fear. Love is joy, peace, acceptance and connection… while fear is projection, judgment, attack and separation. People think they need to seek to find love when love has created us and is inside of us already because we are made from the unconditional love of the universe/god.

From a completely human perspective where we look at things through a dualistic and polarity lens, the longing to be completed by our polar opposite makes complete sense. We have a sense of longing for the feminine/masculine form that will bring to us more balance. That form is a natural and worldly way to look at love as a way that will bring and give us something from the outside world which will complete us and make us more whole than we are already. It works but, has a limited shelf life because we eventually realize that the only way to holiness and wholeness is realizing that from the inside and not through the outside world. As within, so without.

Jampolsky QuoteFrom the inside and the spiritual sense we are already complete and we don’t need anything to make us more whole. When we think we are lacking of anything, it is typically from a source of fear which has come from the past and projects us into the future… a place where past and future do not exist (yet or anymore). There is no fear in the present because only love lives in the present. In every instant we get to choose connection or separation, to extend love’s gratitude and affection or contract into fear’s separation and isolation. We can detach ourselves from stories of unworthiness and any lack from our past without its shadow reaching and dictating us into the future. A place where no darkness is remembered and joy and love are now… where we are at peace and whole.

Love then becomes an offering by giving the gifts of peace, joy and happiness we have cultivated inside of us…. extending outward so that love might expand… where there is no separation from each other. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. We are put here on the planet to continually remind each other of our complete wholeness and holiness. The extension of love from ourselves to others will extend to every aspect of our lives where we carry the message of joy, safety and freedom to everyone who we may come into contact with.

How We Choose To See Others Is How We See Ourselves

I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves. -Steve Marabou

We are the universe’s creations and so is every person that we look upon regardless of the past history or preconceived images we might hold in our minds towards another. Humans are born with split minds… an egoic mind and spirit mind. Because of that, we get to make a decision to side with our separate self/egoic mind… to see others as their past and project onto them our own historic pain OR with our spirit mind in unity, to see each other in our wholeness and strengths. The way we decide to see each other will establish our own identity and we will believe it. Choose the better for someone else and that becomes the choice that we make for ourselves… over and over again.

Why would we choose separation and make comparisons or put space between each other, versus union and seeing us all as the same? Because of some false illusions we have about ourselves that holds others away from us. Beyond all these illusions we see lies our own liberation from the past. Let us not get stuck in any comparisons because love does not make any. Comparisons happen when we perceive a lack seen in someone else and keeping clear in our sight any and all lacks we can possibly perceive. We either give each other life or we give each other death; we are each others great protector or we become the judge; we offer each other safety and security or blame and accusation.

Forgiveness is the healing of the perception of separation. Only in choosing peace and love can we look upon each other in complete forgiveness, leaving nothing excluded from that forgiveness and nothing kept hidden from each other. And from there, what mistake can there be anywhere that you could not overlook? Any one mistake that you continue to see keeps you both separated, out of loves reach and from seeing each other as perfect true selves together in a holy union.

When you judge another, you dont define them, you define yourself - Wayne DyerLet’s make a choice to unite through unconditional and undefended love, otherwise known as universal love or god’s love, where our vision has the power to see people in their complete  wholeness. It’s a form where we both can choose to firmly hold the vision through the lens of god’s eyes while we look at each other in complete perfection. Communication instead of separation becomes one of the main priorities, which cannot be done through our bodies alone but, in our choice of “seeing”. Choosing to create for each other a perfect shelter where our true selves can be continually reborn in safety and in peace. Only in this joint union and welcoming the effects of love can healing be found.

Our Becoming…

What is it like to be a human being? To experience this life as it is in all it’s “beingness”? How do we perceive ourselves, each other and the world around us? We create, design and obtain the material things around us and think we have an idea of how people should help participate in creating the reality of our lives that we think we want. Being human it is natural to get stuck at times in some of our self identity. Then something happens, something changes. A change where our minds can heavily resist, threatening our being of who we thought we were and how we relate to ourselves and our self identity. Our mind really wants to fight against this change because of the unknown and the risk of failure, ridicule, abandonment or rejection. We still love to think that we find safety in predictability and where our determination reigns absolute.

Once we have realized there is more to our individual minds’ ideas to how and what we identify ourselves with, we can start to see things a little bit different. We are all participating in each others growth and evolving consciousness … where all parts are growing intertwined with each other. Never separate. It is the feeling of our complete wholeness and of life’s unfolding where everything and everyone participates. This is an ongoing and continuous movement unaware yet of our fullest potential where our state’s of being are short-lived and we realize the process is about our becoming. Is “becoming” a form that we take or a part of ourselves that we wish to change? Maybe a little confusing at this point.

What is this process of becoming? The letting go of any recognized idea of our self identity in order to let go of the fear to change. Letting go of any attachment to form of who we relate to ourselves to be. We are not meant to be stagnant in our lives. Yet there are people who resist change in themselves and others who seek it. If I’m not who I think I am… then who the heck am I? Our personality and our identity is not static… we have an essence in our features that make up our personality and we are always adapting and changing to the evolving nature of our surroundings to greater levels of understanding… and might I even suggest this is the process of enlightenment?

In the movement of our becoming we learn how to forgive, releasing the conditioned thinking and self image and all judgements. Letting go of any constructs we have created in our minds from the past of any traumatic events, self-doubt, mistakes, hardships, failed relationships, family history and suffering within ourselves. Letting go of all the stories we have made up of others that keeps us stuck in our fixed mindset… and seeing others as whole, complete, entirely loving, completely deserving of your love, gratitude and blessing. We begin to see each other as the same, wanting the same things… joy, peace and love. The more we can balance participation in allowing life to unfold helps us to ongoingly learn and practice the art of loving well. We choose to look at ourselves and others with curious minds open to introspection, reflection and learning… always remaining receptive to new information.

This beingness is the beginning of our discovery of who we are meant to be in this world. Where we can receive all the love, physical, mental, emotional… and it all comes through us…. where we realize who we are meant to become.

As Within, So Without – As Above, So Below

A powerhouse in a way of being in relationship with self, other and the universe is in the constant mirrored reflection of each others greatness and recognition that each others’ inner core and our soul is pure love…. what we see in others are the same things that exist in us. All of the good and all of the bad. All of the light and all of the dark.

The things we can see are the same things that exist within us. There is no reality except the one contained inside. This is why many people live in delusion. They take images outside as sole reality, never realizing that they are linked to internal causes. -Hermann Hesse

—————————–
Once we realize the innate nature of abundant, unconditional, undefended love that has no conditions we get to experience timeless times in placeless places. Where the minds measure of time wants to make sense of days going by and feeling like it was only a brief encounter.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake – “Auguries of Innocence”

 

Every natural form is latent within us: originates in the soul whose essence is eternity, whose essence we cannot know but often intimates itself to us as the innate power to love and create. -Hermann Hesse
