DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVING


The universe consists of dual opposites. In order to be able to consciously recognize one side you have to know its opposite side too. So the one conditions as well as precludes the other side -and vice versa. Therefore if you wish to receive love you have to cultivate your ability to give and to feel love. Because the depth of your capacity to love decides how much love and what kind of love you are receiving from the world. And since your love, which is ultimately coming from the Divine Source, is passing through your heart, thus begins and ends with yourself, the place to start loving is your own self and you way of being. However this love of self should be self-less and unconditional, otherwise you will wait in vain to be truly loved and rather meet its opposite in the world. Also, unless you are feeling love within, all the love you believe to be receiving from the world will vanish one day and leave you with empty hands. Or if your love has been of the ego instead the heart, your love will bring hate in its wake.

True Love makes you feel connected with everything and everyone, whereas love of the ego-mind ultimately causes you to experience separation from the whole world -even though for a while it might keep you in the belief of being connected to your loved one. True Love is
eternal whereas ego-love withers and fades with the passing of time. True Love makes you grow and shine forever stronger. Ego-love weakens, rigidifies and empties you. True Love is for life and thus at one with change. Ego-love on the other hand fights changes and is deadly afraid of it.
Therefore unless your relation-ships are founded upon True Love, they will one day break apart and end in hate and misunderstanding, frustration, deception etc. However even though a relation-ship might be founded upon true love it is possible that one day it will end, Simply because the individual way of passing through life’s changes happens at a different speeds and in different directions. But in such cases the break-up happens in common understanding and respect for the other party.

LOVE LOVE

There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.

LOVE ME FOR A REASON

The Ego is unconsciously aware that love has the power to bestow immortality. And because its greatest fear is to die, it is instinctively seeking after love. However, for as long as the Ego is clinging to the reasons for why it is believing itself to be loved, death remains imminently close and fear remains the dark shadow of the love it is experiencing. Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.
