Understanding True Love

Understanding True Love
We were born in Divine Love but we forgot. In this human life we tend to confuse love to infatuation. Love, True Love has no conditions. "Love is something I can feel if I feel safe and loved by another. If my safety and lovability are threatened in some way, I withdraw my love. This withdrawal is justified and is also a part of love." This definition is illusive and causes suffering in itself. It cuts you off from the true experience of love. Because the sacrifice of love is so great, human nature has invented another definition of love that allows us to believe we are loved and loving without having to suffer. All good things come with sacrifice. Love in its purest human form request, the greatest sacrifice of all. Love asks that you give up judgement, fear, resentment, shame, hurt, and expectation of love returned. Love asks that you forgive all harm done. This does not mean that you forget harm done or continue to place yourself in harms way. Setting healthy boundaries is good. It means that you must claim full responsibility for your experience. You must give up seeing yourself as a victim and see yourself as a divine being worthy of great love. Love commands of us that we simply give of our hearts freely and unconditionally. This means that love will also wound us. Not only must the Ego die to love, but once we are opened, we must suffer the consequences of disappointment and betrayal. Love, therefore, is both sought after and rejected by all of us. Human love is conditional. Until you have found safety and love within yourself through realizing your divine nature, you are incapable of experiencing the true meaning of love. If you open yourself to love, expect joy and expect to suffer. Expect your suffering to teach you much. Expect your suffering to lead you to the grandest experience of all--freedom. Expect to have the feeling of being home in the most profound sense of all. The experience of love is complete peace and excruciating, almost unbearable joy at the same time. Read more >>
