LOVE

Every Song.  Every Book.  Every Story.  Every Movie.  Every Action.  Every Decision.  Every Thing...

Is About Love.

It cannot be denied that love is the strongest force on Earth.  "May the force be with you" actually means, "may the love be with you."  Why do we need it?  Why do we search for it?  Why do we deny it's existence?  What is it all about?  Today I talk about the absolute importance that love plays in our life and more importantly, in our world.

Now a Song

Love should be like breathing. It should be just a quality in you, wherever you are, with whomsoever you are, or even if you are alone, Love goes on overflowing from you. It is not a question of being in Love with someone, it is a question of being Love.
- Osho

Love is not just the way we feel about our parents, our dog or cat, our best friends, our lover; Love is way bigger than just a feeling, it is a way of life.  A year ago, I did not know or understand this.  I saw love as something that brings confusion, unhappiness, and compromise along with happiness, clarity, and togetherness.  I saw love as ambivalence and therefore it seemed to me to be the hardest feeling to endure.  How sad and utterly wrong is it that the best feeling in the world brings us so much unhappiness?  To begin, just look at the people who loved the most through out history and what we did to them...

   This alone is enough for one to throw their hands up in the air and give up.  Give up on hope, on change, on peace, on life itself.  But first, read the end of the quote from Mr. Carlin: He says "Apparently we're not ready for that!"  I think that must have been a true statement.  Maybe we weren't ready to understand love yet, maybe the time is now?  I shall explain this concept.  People are mainly unhappy because of the endless mind chatter; humans live in the brain.  Our brain is best explained by dividing it into two categories, the left and right.  Therefore we live in a state of duality.  Our thoughts are in a constant state of ambivalence and then we wonder why there is so much confusion and uncertainty in our lives.

In my research lately, I have been shown the concept that the human species, many many moons ago, lived primarily from our heart.  It makes sense if you look at genetics and see that the beginning of a human is the heart organ; We begin as a heart cell and we grow from there.  So, it is believed by some that all of our decisions were made from the heart and all our actions came from a place of light, truth, and love.  However over time there was a switch and we began to make decisions based upon our brains.  I understand that some right now will go, "of course, we must have acted from our brains to create all the things we know today."  Take a step back for a moment and understand that living from the heart does not necessarily mean not using the brain.  Basically put, at early times if someone had an illness it would be your heart that said "I must save them" and then your heart said to your brain "fix this."  It is all about intention and where we choose to put the time and energy of our brain and if those signals are not being sent from the heart (from love) then it is a fact it is sent from the ego.  We use our brains to benefit ourselves financially and to obtain acceptance from peers.

I am reminded here of the film Frankenweenie by Tim Burton:  A boy loves his dog, dog dies, he uses energy to bring him back to life, dog comes back as a loving creature, other kids try and do the same to their dead pets but all of them come back as beasts out to destroy.  Why is that?  It was all about intent.  Victor brought his dog back out of pure love whereas the others brought their animal's back from pure jealousy of Victor's genius experiment.  Back to real life, Dr. Masaru Emoto conducted "The Intention Experiment" where he took 3 glasses of water and ignored one, sent love messages to another, and sent hate messages to the last.  The results are epic, look it up for yourself.  Here's some easy links:  http://www.highexistence.com/water-experiment/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAvzsjcBtx8 .  Think about the fact that the average human body is 60% water and then ask yourself what positive thoughts could do for you.  The same is for plants, one thing I saw at a very early age was my father speaking to the plants in the house.  Speaking kindly to plants has been a normal thing through out my life, so normal that I never thought much about it until now.  

 Shall I digress now?  I say "love" and you say "sex".  There is nothing wrong with expressing love and with being close to another.  However I do believe that so many are out there "spreading their seed" for the pure sake of 10 minutes, maybe less, maybe more, of what they consider pure ecstasy   Not so different from that of a junkie looking to score his next high now is it?  Understand this, sex is the most basic and natural occurrence in the human being.  I truly believe that we should not feel that sexual encounters with ourselves and others is a bad or dirty thing but for so many it has become just that.    This is the downside, what sex has become in this modern world alienates those who see it as something pure and joyful.  Because sex is such a basic principle in the human being corporations have turned it into a frivolous way to exploit us.  It is the easiest way because it is a basic function and common among every one.  By creating such things like the the porn industry or strip clubs, they have taken something that should really be an act of reverence towards another and turned it into a degradation.  People have turned off all attachment to the act and experience in order to feel less.  To some, sex is not different then eating their morning bagel, they take part to get by and carry on.  Well, to this I must shout, OH man are you ever missing out!  Sex is a way to become closer to Brahma, closer to the divine; it is a way to transcend boundaries and learn the secrets of the universe.  If you stop here and say, what the fuck are you talking about, then you are just like the masses and you are doing it for a quick fix.  What I see among people is that they are choosing lovers that they consider to be beneath their self-worth.  They chose partners that do not mirror their importance but in fact demote their very core as a human being.  I see a bunch of people not knowing why they are so unhappy and unfulfilled   It is because they are learning about it through porn, which is an industry feeding off your basic thoughts.  There is nothing beautiful about it.  Unfortunately it is also a male industry and therefore alienates a woman's core needs, no wonder why there is such a divide between the two.

 "Sex today isn’t sex, it’s done out of lust, it’s been programmed into humans and the meaning and purpose behind it has been lost. The sexual energy is a sacred energy, and used from the right place is like another form of meditation, chakra activation and a connection to source."

  NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!  We have been living through our brains for far too long now and it has not brought us happiness.  My purpose in life is to be happy.  Ever since I was a child, everything I prayed for, every time I blew out my birthday candles, every time a wished upon a star, a turkey wishbone, I wished for happiness and love.  Now I know that happiness is love.

Break it down now:  The brain is always in a state of duality.  We love someone, so at night we lay awake and think of all the bad things they are capable of doing to us.  We are constantly conjuring up situations that will bring us uneasiness and discomfort.  Our brain chatter is the reason why we are so unhappy.  When I first delved into the Tao Ti Ching, Lao Tzu spoke about how knowledge is unhappiness.  I think that through interpretations concepts got misconstrued   It is not that knowledge makes us unhappy it is the constant mind chatter that causes so much unnecessary pain.  We should be living simply and purely therefore our brain should only be lured for solving problems.  When I was a teenager I realized that I was not like everyone else. I was not easily manipulated and I had a inquisitive mind.  It brought me to a true state of depression.  I dyed my hair purple and I called my peers sheep for what, not following along with me?  I was too young to understand so instead I hid away. I gave up and decided that I could not fight the masses, that anyone who did, died or got murdered.  The best way to beat them is to join them.  Well guess what, that didn't work either.  Deep down inside, the teenager inside of me, the child in me, the adult I am, all screamed "this is not right!"  This is not the right way we are supposed to be living on this earth.  Becoming sad about it does not help.  Being angry does not help.  Doing nothing does not help either.  It is time now.  What time is it you ask?  Time to switch from a duality way of living (ie the brain) towards a unity consciousness, otherwise known as living from the heart.  Being the force within.  Love.

Living from the heart takes practice, it takes time.  I am not fully there yet.  I remind myself constantly of the lessons that I am learning.  I go through past blog posts to remind myself of inspirational quotes, my favourite being Dr. Martin Luther King's "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."  Every time I see, hear or feel someone doing something to cause pain I remind myself that only love can show them the way.  If I respond back with the same energy nothing good will ever come from it.  If I am not able to respond with love I hide away and meditate until am ready to handle the situation.  I want to see the world shift.  I know that myself, undergoing these awakenings so quickly this past year is all in coherence with the shift that is to take place this December.  Are you ready for it?  Are you aware of it?

"Ac Tah, which means “The Man who Talks,” is a Mayan seer who has been transmitting the messages of the ancient Maya to all that are called to listen.  His mission became clear when he was invited by the Ancient Maya ancestors to share their knowledge and to prepare the people to recognize Hunab Ku, the astronomical event that marks the shift of consciousness on Earth. His message is not to wait for this shift in consciousness, however, but to begin changing now. To do this, we must become aware of our current thoughts and patterns of perception, and in so doing, we will become better prepared to receive the new frequencies that are becoming realized at this time." via http://www.seedgraduateinstitute.org/conferences/wisdom-from-the-origins/presenters/ac-tah/

The brain is duality; The heart is unity.  We are all the same.  We all feel the same and it is our life experiences that build us and separate us from what is true.  Judge not.  I do not judge you if you think everything I say and write about is nonsense   In fact I assume that most people will judge me, but I have decided that I will speak my truth anyway.  The more I speak up the more I find common ground.  The more I find common ground I learn about a greater understanding.  The more I understand, the less confused my thoughts are.  No confusion equals happiness.  It is time for us to live in a state of unity.  It is time to shine, like the stars, that which we are.

Do not be afraid of the so called "Apocalypse" that is to come soon for the true meaning of the word is "lifting of the veil" or "revelation".  Knowing the truth is not to be feared, it should not make you hopeless it should bring you clarity knowing that others feel the same.  Through the power of thought, we will manifest the new world.  

Let it be said by me, if this change does not occur.  If people do not shift from the brain to the heart.  I, along with all who do and want better, will leave society as you know it .  I will take my knowledge and use it for only those who appreciate it.  I will not fight with iron fists; I will bow gracefully. 

Namaste
