From my book "When Love Speaks: An Unusual Conversation of Love" on the meaning of love.


What are you, what is love?
 I am the light of the divine within you. I am the reason you exist and the reason you experience this glorious gift which is called life. I am one fabric, yet I can be created into many shapes and have so many expressions but I am one and the same.
I am joy and I am the light and I am life. I am a force that has no like or similarity. I am the sea that gives and gives and cannot be held by a dam. Accept me and accept who I am so you can have me as a true joyful existence in your life.
What makes love happen? How can you come into our existence?
I am the life in this world and therefore I exist already in your life. It is you who sometimes miss my presence. Your awareness sometimes fails to see me within you and in your own life. When you are aware of my existence I flow from within you like a light shining and the light is seen by the whole universe, acknowledged and the universe rejoice with you.
Why does it seem like we can love some and not others if you are such a universal force?
Love does not discriminate and it is not exclusive. Yet for love to exist, you tend to feel it with those that reflect your own light of love back to you. Those tend to have the clearest mirrors among all those you meet and know therefore you feel love the best around them. They help you to realize the love that already exists in life and within you. They do not create what does not already exist but they help to bring it to your awareness. Remember I said I am already there and I am life itself but your awareness sometimes miss my presence.
Are you saying when we love, we are actually loving the other as a mirror or a projection screen of our love? Does that mean you do not love the other but your love of them?
When you love, you tend to express love. You experience love flowing from within like a river that cannot be held back. If the other brings love from within you to your awareness through their affinity and kindness and through their acceptance then you tend to allow my essence to flow free and only then you can see me bright as the sun mid-day.
The safer that is the more forgiven and accepted by the other the more you allow that soul of love to fill your life. This is how the other becomes your mirror of love. You do not love the other as a form but you love the love that is the true essence of the other.
Do you mean that the other is love itself and that helps me to recognize the love within me?
Yes, that is exactly what I mean. You have love and you are full of love simply because I am life itself and you are alive, aren’t you? You are all rich with love because a human being is only alive and animated through the force of love, the world exists because of love and the universe comes to be because of love. Yet, you think that love comes from a source outside yourselves. You become sad and you despair when you lose the subject of love. In truth, you do not lose love, you only lose the awareness of love, you lose the clarity that love is already there existing as the essence of all life and all forms and therefore it can never be lost. Anger, hurt, self-loathing all can cloud that awareness of my presence but I exist and will always be.
Why it then people sometimes reject to be loved, reject love?

You never reject love, you reject a joint experience of life and all it entails but love is not what is rejected. Just remember, when you love and seek nothing from the other your love will be accepted and you still enjoy the love you feel as long as it is not tied to conditions, wants or needs, we will talk about that more later.

Romantic love as a construct of the ego

Image
Love is love. The essence of love is the same and one. The difference between this love and that love is a creation of the ego. Romantic love is an ego construct with projections of the self. Therefore, it is the least possibly lasting love. In truth, it is by definition a none lasting construct since all ego creations are form creations and form creations are transit by nature, changeable by nature and cannot be lasting. Before going farther, let me explain that when we hear about lasting relationships that are romantic in nature we overlook one of two possibilities; one is that the relationship has a strong spiritual or soul component that supports as a strong foundation a romantic thin construct, the second is that the it is something that exists in the imagination as in art form. If we recall that ego constructs are pure illusions, a projection not a  reality, we will understand that in romantic love we do not see the other person at all, we see the projection. If one is n...

The Returning Visitor

Sometimes an odd realization befalls you. You are suddenly aware that you keep meeting the same person again and again but in various forms and shapes. This same person enters your life in more or less the same way, the story develops more or less the same as well and it always ends, no matter what you do or how much you think you have improved on your approach from the previous times, the story still ends the same way and with the same painful fall you have experienced already many times before. In spirituality it is said that this returning visitor whether it is a man, a woman or a situation keeps coming again and again to your life to awaken you, that the main reason for this repeated same story again and again is to teach you a lesson and it will continue to happen until you learn your lesson, until you change and only then the returning visitor will change too. This simple and intuitive spiritual principle downed on me after a painful breakup. I found a poem I wrote years bef...
