The Ways of Love: Qualities, Attributes, Characteristics

childbabylove

Love is….. Gentle. Not terse.

More an intimate whisper that invokes intent listening and inspires responsive action, than a fierce wind that sends us scurrying for protection.

Kind. Respectful of all.

Wise. In wisdom, there is loving understanding…..a sense of patient compassion that comes from the realization that perfection lies in the whole beyond time, rather than in the part that defines space.

Responsible. We know what needs to be done. We choose a part to play in the entire activity of construction. We do it, regardless of how inadequate our contribution seems. We understand that perfection is only achieved from group rather than individual effort. Follow through is our strength, as is persistence and steadfastness to the task at present.

Present. When we are present, we are listening, attending and connecting. We become aware of that which weaves us together in synthesis. Through mindful and heartful presence, we fully become aware of the whole, as well as our role in it. Meaning and purpose become known, since it is the whole picture that bestows context to any one part. (Consider that when our life fails to have meaning and purpose for us, it is we who have neglected to give it any.)

Allowing. Freeing. Not binding, nor demanding.

In love, there is understanding that each flower grows in its own field in its own time and pace, and in this way, life continues its blooming.

Grateful. Appreciative of what is, rather than judgmental of what is not. This is the yin of love, receptive and open.

Inclusive. Including all, marginalizing no one. Love’s creative process requires our togetherness, unity, synthesis, collaboration, and cooperation.

Constructive. Supportive. Creative. This is the yang of love. As St. Paul said, love builds. Any destruction that takes place simply makes room for the building process. An old house must be torn down before the new can be erected in its place. When the new one is built, it is constructed upon a foundation of support. Love supports, like rebar to a concrete structure. Love raises us up, like pillars and beams to a roof.

How Love Heals, Part III

When our body, mind or heart is broken, we seek healing.

Healing is the process of integration, of joining together that which has been fragmented. A fractured bone mends. A scattered mind focuses. A heart finds wholeness. And the soul remembers oneness.

All wounds are a tear in the fabric of Love, the field of synthesis for all that has been sewn from the one thread.

In healing, Love calls back to itself what has gone awry. It magnetizes back to center what has been split apart. At the energetic level, Love coheres, attracts and unifies. It sounds out its vibrational note, and gathers in all that resonates with its song. Love energy moves as a coherent field…..spiraling tightly like a laser, systemically like a galaxy…..whirling seemingly separated particles together within its gravitational hold.

How Love Heals, Part II

Love is the cyclic movement we call the inbreath and outbreath of God.

Divine Love breathes out creation as the force of involution.

As the force of evolution, Love breathes in, and gathers the many into the One.

Through Love we are born. Through Love we heal.

How Love Heals

Love is the primary energy through which matter, our familiar dense and physical form, is constructed.

Pure energy that is Spirit inter-courses, weaving form out of formlessness, falling back and forth upon itself, One Thread becoming the many-threaded material of our physical existence.

The process, we call Love. The sound, a multi-verse of exploding life birthing from the One Life. The primary effect, we call Creation, Awareness, the field of Quantum Consciousness.

We are Interconnected: Tragedy in Our Seas

Yet another example of how we are interconnected, for better or worse. In this case, Hawaii’s beaches and sea life are struggling with the aftermath of the tsunami in Japan, two years later. In the birds and fish, plastic has been found in 100% of the wildlife tested. Our food supply contaminated, we are reminded of why it is in our best interest that the products we manufacture be made of materials that are environmentally-friendly and biodegradable.   We are…ecosystems within ecosystems. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp=50002132&#50002132

Who Am “I”?

waterdropsfromocean

I am a drop of consciousness emerging from an ocean of consciousness.

And yet I am the ocean of consciousness from which my atoms and cells themselves emerge as individualized drops of consciousness.

Drops within drops within drops, I am an infinite array of consciousness.

Hologram within hologram within hologram, I am conscious being, life and love itself.

Consciousness, the Cross, and the Spiritual Path

crossangel

crossangelYou have been born from the cosmic night to send love rippling, horizontally and vertically, at the break of light.

The son of consciousness, you travel a spiritual path symbolized by the cross of love, even if you know it not. Blinking in and out of existence, your journey travels up and down the ladder of consciousness, into higher and faster speeds of quantum vibration, into lower and slower material realms. Carrying love across the space of time, you find your way into wider and broader circles of inclusion and beingness.

So when you see the symbol of the cross, contemplate where you are on your spiritual path. How high and how wide do you cast your net of love? Are you a “fisher of all men” as is the Christ and all those who truly follow him? Or are there those who are excluded from your love? Carry the cross as a reminder that, as the son of God, your responsibility is to share love with all that is, here on this earthly plane as well as multidimensionally on all planes.

As taught by the Tibetan, where the vertical intersects with the horizontal, there is the Cross.
