Love
Love is within us all, we are born out of love, we are LOVE.
Everything we do in life is to be loved. We travel near and far, in search for love. We go to school and become doctors, dancers and drivers, all so that we can be loved.
We look externally for that love because we have become so separated and disconnected to our own essence that we think we need another person that can help us feel loved. But in actual reality there is a blockage, a blockage of the awareness of the love that is within us all.
This is because every time we have been hurt, misled or shamed, we put on a layer of protection and the more layers we put on, the further away we get from our true self which then leads to more separation. It starts off as a defence but turns into adaptations that causes suffering to ourselves.
The layers are so thick that we have forgotten that what we yearn for is within ourselves.
So how about we try a different process?
This would be a process of shedding instead of accumulating, peeling off our layers of shame, guilt, judgement, unworthiness, inadequacy and all the negative beliefs that keeps us stuck in ego.
There we might find something that has been calling us our whole existence, that which brings us back home to where we belong.
And finally, the hole we have desperately been trying to fill, becomes whole.
We no longer need another person, gadget or situation to complete us. We no longer get angry when somebody doesn’t fulfil our needs. We no longer need to distract or numb out.
Can you imagine entering a relationship full of love instead of because of a lack of love?
Love is everywhere, the only question is…
Where are you?
Just sit there
right now
Don’t do a
thing
Just rest.
For your
separation from
God,
From love,
Is the hardest
work
In this
World.
Your task is not to
seek for love, but
merely to seek and
find all the barriers
within yourself that
you have built
against it.
