I'd like to share a few personal reflections on love... The Nature The shape of love far exceeds the limitations and labels we give it... This is the nature of true love: unconditional positive regard, experiencing the sublime through a vanquishing of the ego, and ultimately embracing the peace and calm of enlightenment. The nature of true love is a universal thread which connects all of humanity; it has the power to dissolve hate, heal inner turmoil, resolve wars, and unify the masses. Love, to me, is far more than feeling... it is a way of being. The Living Living love is the ultimate in deep personal fulfillment; we need only to look at such icons as Mahatma Ghandi and Mother Theresa to see this. Their love of and regard for humanity as a whole is second only to their deep, unconditional, judgment free, acceptance of themselves. It is this unconditional, unconditional acceptance of self which creates a way of being and living love. When we truly understand and accept that all of humankind is the same; experiencing the same highs, the same depths of despair, the same basic fundamental needs; we are only then able to see one another as reflections of the self. The Mirror Thus, only though accepting and deeply cherishing the self may unconditional love flow from us in proverbial waves of warmth, compassion, empathy, and profound approval. In living and being love we are able to see truthfully though the filmy veil of our perceived differences; and what lies behind the veil is simplicity personified: It is a mirror reflecting the inner self. I have found that when I come from a place acceptance and of no expectation, of desiring only the connection of two hearts sharing their beautiful vulnerability, I am satisfied and nourished... am able to flow with the moment. When I come from a place of fear and possession, I am always dissapointed, especially in myself at how, instead of seeing someone in their beautiful living singluar light, I see them as a construct of how I want them to be... how I expect them to be in reference to me... it ceases being about connection and starts to be about posturing, competition, and the pull and push of resistance... flow is stifled and I am deeply sad. Ultimately, I find that the law of attraction is of adamantine strength in my life... there is the tingle of magic in the air when healthy love is flowing from me... I can't help but attract that goodness my way, and I bask, like a langurous seal in the sun, and soak up love's bright light. You are a child of love and are filled with the whilrwind of creation... you are surrounded by love every minute or every day of every hour. Thank you for your open heart and your sweet smile ;-) Hola Ray! I’d like to share a few personal reflections on love…
The Nature
The shape of love far exceeds the limitations and labels we give it… This is the nature of true love: unconditional positive regard, experiencing the sublime through a vanquishing of the ego, and ultimately embracing the peace and calm of enlightenment. The nature of true love is a universal thread which connects all of humanity; it has the power to dissolve hate, heal inner turmoil, resolve wars, and unify the masses. Love, to me, is far more than feeling… it is a way of being.
The Living
Living love is the ultimate in deep personal fulfillment; we need only to look at such icons as Mahatma Ghandi and Mother Theresa to see this. Their love of and regard for humanity as a whole is second only to their deep, unconditional, judgment free, acceptance of themselves. It is this unconditional, unconditional acceptance of self which creates a way of being and living love. When we truly understand and accept that all of humankind is the same; experiencing the same highs, the same depths of despair, the same basic fundamental needs; we are only then able to see one another as reflections of the self.
The Mirror

In living and being love we are able to see truthfully though the filmy veil of our perceived differences; and what lies behind the veil is simplicity personified: It is a mirror reflecting the inner self.

I have finally learned that I am making my life and myself what I want it to be and those who really love and care for me will want to be in it. It's still a real bummer when you fall for someone and the love isn't returned. Oh well, I'm still glad that I can still open my heart and love others. You gotta have faith that the real thing is on the way !!!! Have a great day. That was really cool Ray and so true.
