LOVING VERSUS LIKING


To love is a state of BEing, whereas to like is an action or a reaction.
True Love is a matter of the heart hence a quality of the individuality-self. Liking on the other hand solely an action/reaction on part of the personality-self. Which is why one can love someone, yet not necessarily personally like him/her as well.
One frequently hears people saying: “I would love such and such a person, if only you/he/she…” This cannot be true love then, but only a self-induced “love” rooted in personal expectations, beliefs and separation, bound to wreak disappointment/frustration in one or both parties involved.
In cultivating within you a state of love towards all forms of live, starting with yourself, you are not only rendering your everyday life more peaceful and enjoyable but also increase your receptivity for new experiences, making personal transformation possible.

To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
