Not "feeling" Love is also Love.

This morning I woke up with a deep sense of calm and peace and with the feeling and sense that I had no desire to 'do' anything - and it was definitely not because I was not in the mood or feeling unwell, or any such thing, but simply because of a deep desire to pull back from the usual routine of early morning activities and just observe every feeling and emotion and desire that was passing through me as soon as I became a bit more conscious of the world I was waking up to - the material world. I did not feel any compulsion to get down to doing the usual morning activities. I just relaxed! Relax? Really? At 5.30 a.m. after a deep sleep? Wow! this was definitely a first. I was beginning to experience the result of thinking the highest thoughts about myself. The usual and 'normal' rules do not apply when you elevate your thoughts. By just BEING in this experience, it seemed like I was paying attention to my Life as deepest I knew how in this moment. When you spend time with yourself this way, you begin to feel so much self love - a very spiritual kind of love. Even if you are not aware of it as love, it IS love.

It felt really, really good to feel this way. I felt free and unencumbered with no obligation to do any one particular thing but instead to embrace everything exactly as it is. This must be what Real Love is.  No separation in any way. Love for Love's sake. I think the moment we begin to give Love a definition, we loose the sense of Love. We separate ourselves from the Whole to act in accordance with our individual notions. We feel we have got to do certain things to express love for another. Well, I have been there and done that. It does'nt work. You just have to keep repeating yourself in order to feel the limited experience of Love. And that is truly a pity - a sin really. To not know we are Love's Presence is to do a great injustice to ourselves.

The human love is all about holding love for someone and withholding love from another. It is always conditional and filled with expectations.  There have been so many times in my life when I have said "Love You" to someone and they have not acknowledged it or felt enough mutual love to spontaneously reciprocate. Since in that moment I am experiencing and expressing a deeper sense of Self Love it matters not to me whether a person reciprocates or not. There are certain people in my life who still do that - its like they're saying "hmm ... I like you because I have little choice, but don't push it to expecting love!!". I definitely can live with that now and it feels even more liberating because it was something that was not possible for me in the past.

Love just IS. There's nothing to do or experience from effort. Love just IS. If you're not feeling the magnificence of Love, its okay because not feeling Love is also Love because the moment you do a self inquiry, you begin to realize Love has numerous ways to make Itself Present. Love IS Spirit. And there is only ONE Power and ONE Presence. There is not two. If you're not feeling Love, get on the wisdom medicine raft of self inquiry and stay there till you feel differently. Till you feel one with God. Its worth the effort!

How may I be of service?

With Love & Oneness,
